Re: Alternate history scenarios: What if?

One more Ukrainian here? Glad to hear that!
Now I understand...
You are right and that nostalgy about old-kind timer of Father-Czar and attepts to replay the events of Civil war to the benefit of the White Movement, the attempts to review the beginning of the WW2 (a very interesting recent novel here is Fyodor Berezin's "Red Stars" (Krasnye zvyozdy) and Anisimov's "Option "BIS" (Variant "BIS"))
By the way I also like Lazarchuk's works in colaboration with Mikhail Uspensky in so called "cryptohistory" subgenre.
The "monster" of modern post-Soviet cryptohistory is Andrei Valentinov from Kharkov with his "The Eye of Power" series. Recently, I've read his novel The Frontier (Rubezh) written in colabnouration with HL Oldie and kievites Dyachenko - a very interesting work merging cryptohistory with alternate history and folk-fantasy.
