What if the USSR Never Fell? | Alternate History

Originally Aired Dec 15, 2025Special thanks to HungryMinds for sponsoring today's video! You can buy The Last Book today with my link: https://mdsh.io/deanmonsieurthelastbook using promo code MrZ!In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was able to overcome the major causes of their collapse and survive the Cold War to the turn of the century? Does the Cold War just never end? Would the USSR never fall? Would the United States have "lost" the Cold War? Do Perestroika and Glasnost still change the foundational axioms of the way the USSR functions? Do the conflicts of this era... the Rhodesian Bush War, the Iran Iraq War, even 9/11, completely change? Who will be the leader of the Soviet Union in the year 2000?Featuring our host Jacob as the "US of Z"🔴Merch https://us-of-z-shop.creator-spring.com/stickers🟣Discord https://discord.gg/YkFwCpvxRG or try https://discord.gg/usz🔶Join the Channel https://www.youtube.com/@UnitedStatesOfZ/join🔶Patreon https://www.patreon.com/monsieurz/membership🔶Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/MrZ_Official/#alternatehistory #history #ussr #coldwar #sovietunion
