Can the USSR exist in 2000 or 2010? Maybe. Only if he doesn't behave like in reality. Different bosses, different ideas and no giving of gifts to surrounding countries purely out of the kindness of their hearts. You have to pay for everything. For the absence of stagnation, too. A normal person does not necessarily strive to change everything. For what? He already lives in the best state in the world - the USSR. It's the 2000s, and life in general is good. True, there are everyday trifles and minor shortcomings, but revolutions are not required to correct them. And then there is the boss, and they send you on a business trip to God knows where without completing the necessary papers. To an absolutely impossible, decaying bourgeois Russia. And there you will have to rely solely on yourself.
