Description Boy oh boy, what the genuine fuck is this map, you may be asking yourself? well, in a world where- 
• Novgorod (Somehow) United the Russian fiefdoms after a lesser Kievan collapse leading to a more Scandinavian/Varangian influenced East Slavic Culture
• TTL Russian Empire was far less "Eastern" and was already considered a European power before Peter's Modernisations
• TTL RE was far more aligned with European politics, with institutions and practices spreading through the Rus much quicker than OTL
• The Provisional Government not only managed to keep hold of power in 1918, but maintained its grasp past the revolutionary period, Adopting a totally not Weimar(c) style government that somehow didn't collapse, becoming slowly OTL-like US capitalist
• The Actual Weimar Republic fell to the Kapp Putsch and became the first Socialist nation, basically ending up with a Red Hitler. How Fashionable.
• For reasons no one could ever figure out, the US is also Socialist, for the sole reason of "Dammit I wanted to make a reverse Cold War scenario, leave me alone"
• Even though the CPP is TTL's USA, it still collapses, and with the wonderful Communist strategy of "Divide and Conquer", was divided between the US and the other Socialist republics between rebellious factions like Sibiristan, the Union of Caucasian Socialist Soviet Republics, the Baltics, and the collapse of UPP's "Yevropeyskiy Soyuz" and Warsaw Pact, resulting in it's "Trade Partners" falling under the US' Iron Curtain.
• I really wanted to frustrate my American Friends

This map exists. Don't ask what kind of hallucinogenics I'm on to think of something as stupid as this, as even I don't know any more.
Help.

Volgograd is a very strange region. There is no need for Ryazan to be in Povolzhie
Also, Lesser Novgorod is incorrect translation. You can't translate names of cities or towns, you should write Nizhny Novgorod
Lesser - малый, "Smaller Novgorod"
Нижний is "Placed-down-the-river", so its Novgorod that stands down on the Volga

My apologies! I'm not too knowledgeable about Russia or the Russian language, so I'm not surprised a lot of this is wrong. It was only meant for a small idea to focus on for fun, though I understand the criticism. Cheers for at least checking it out, though. Hopefully as I get more experienced with map making I'll stop making such mistakes.
