Описание: How The World Would Look If The Soviet Union Collapsed Early | The Red Army Fails 1941


July 3, 1941. Moscow. The Kremlin goes dark. Joseph Stalin is assassinated during the chaotic opening phase of Operation Barbarossa. Without his iron grip, the Politburo fractures, the Red Army disintegrates, and the Soviet Union collapses under the hammer of the Wehrmacht.
In our timeline, the USSR survived the German invasion. But what if it hadn't? What if Hitler’s greatest gamble paid off and led to a total Axis victory on the Eastern Front?
This alternate history documentary explores a terrifying timeline where the Soviet empire dissolves into warlord states, breakaway republics, and lawless wastelands. We analyze the strategic nightmare of a Nazi occupation of Russia: a German Army stretched thin across eleven time zones, trapped in an endless partisan war in a land too big to conquer.
From the horrors of an intensified Holocaust to the geopolitical shockwave of a world with no Cold War, we uncover how the fall of the Soviet Union in 1941 would have rewritten the history of World War II.
