History YMMV / TheDeathOfRussia

* InferredHolocaust: The effects of the [[spoiler:4/10 nuclear exchange]] would in reality have terrible consequences for the entire world, not just Russia. While the author claims that the Russian missiles only targeted NATO military installations, the vast majority of those installations are positioned very close to populated areas, which would naturally lead to collateral damage from the explosions and fallout. On top of that, the smoke and ash created by the burning cities in Russia and the NATO countries would be enough to block sunlight from reaching Earth's surface, leading to a nuclear winter that would kill millions if not billions from falling temperatures and famine.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To fellow Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom timeline ''Literature/TwilightOfTheRedTsar''. Both involve a communist Russia (or [[CommieNazis pseudo-communist]] in this case) collapse into a civil war with all manner of atrocities committed during the conflict and the preceding years beforehand.

* BrokenBase: While nowhere near as internally divisive on AH.com as the author's [[Literature/TheFootprintOfMussolini last timeline]], as readers native to the site consider this timeline a fascinating and bleak look into how bad things could have gotten in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union [[MurphysLaw if everything had gone wrong]], most leftist leaning readers primarily on [[Sandbox/SufficientVelocityDotCom Sufficient Velocity]] along with a fair chunk of those already extremely critical of the author's last timeline find the timeline to be gratuitous murder porn written to make the Russians suffer as much as possible.

* BrokenBase: A very divisive timeline on ah.com. With one group of readers finding this timeline is a fascinating and bleak, if rather implausible look into how bad things could have gotten in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, another group of readers find the timeline to be gratuitous murder porn written to make the Russians suffer as much as possible. Not helping matters is that the author's [[Literature/TheFootprintOfMussolini last timeline]] also involved a horrifically evil genocidal Russia, which led to allegations of extreme Russophobia among detractors of both timelines.

* CompleteMonster: [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade Alexander Barkashov and Aleksandr Dugin]] are [[TheManBehindTheMan the true power]] behind [[ANaziByAnyOtherName the Nashist movement]]. After Alexander Nevzorov's Nashists seize control of Petrograd, Dugin would influence Nevzorov's politics in an increasingly ultranationalist direction while Barkashov exerts greater influence within the Nashist government. Under Barkashov's influence, the Nashists would instigate multiple genocides in the areas they control using chemical weapons, set up rape camps for captured women, and hold the Finns and Karelians in Karelia as hostages in exchange for food. Inspired by ''The Turner Diaries'', Barkashov's most horrific action was Plan Zass, a plan to [[NukeEm use nukes]] to both destroy the Stalinists and wipe out all non-Slavs from Russia. This plan was supported enthusiastically by Dugin under the belief that it would pave the return of the Hyperboreans to Russia and the start of the "Final War" against the West. Plan Zass would see the deaths of 35 million Russians and the complete eradication of entire ethnic groups. When UsefulNotes/{{NATO}} intervenes in Russia in the aftermath of Plan Zass, Barkashov would launch nukes at [=NATO=] in an effort to drag the world down with him.

** The Communists renaming Volgograd back to Stalingrad may seem like a way to illustrate how devoted they are to the legacy of Stalin's legacy in a cartoonish manner, yet it was an actual proposal entertained by no less than Konstantin Chernenko in his brief tenure as General-Secretary.

** Anatoly Fomenko, the Education Minister for the Republic of the Russians, is able to make something he calls the "New Chronology" the official history of Russia and have it taught in schools for what good it's worth by 1995.[[labelnote:(Long story short)]]New chronology dictates stated that the entirety of global history had been an invention of the Vatican and Western governments to minimize Russia’s influence, including the histories of the Arabs and China. Accordingly, Genghis Khan, Christopher Columbus and almost all important Medieval figures were actually Russians of the ‘Russian Horde Empire’. Christ was actually crucified in the Twelfth Century in Turkey, the Crusades and Trojan Wars were the same event, Jerusalem was actually Constantinople, Christians came first and Jews came second as a breakaway religion for merchants, the Hagia Sophia was the Temple of Solomon, and that there had actually been a thriving Russian empire in the Americas up until 1776 that had been more prosperous than even the 13 Colonies.[[/labelnote]]. If you read the note, it sounds like complete batshit made up to make the Fascists look even more insane, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer but NOPE]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_chronology_(Fomenko) it's a real crackpot theory]] that Fomenko actually wrote ''seven volumes'' of in our world.

* InferredHolocaust: The effects of the [[spoiler:4/10 nuclear exchange]] might be worse than imagined, given that both the Nashists and the Reds tried and succeeded in nuking some Western cities.

* AmericansHateTingle: While the Timeline has received positive reception on its native ''[=AlternateHistory=].com'', users active in ''Sufficient Velocity'''s own Alternate History subforum have expressed disdain for the timeline, taking issues with its extreme bleakness and supposed vilification of Russians as a people. It should be noted that SV strongly dislikes Sorairo's [[Literature/TheFootprintOfMussolini other major work]], too.
