Uh he isn't. Marovic is the leader now.Why is Milosevic being supported? The man was a god damned monster.

Actually the Russians went through a baby boom 1999-2008, however the government failed to act properly and add health incentives to have greater brith rates and demographic growth rates, which is being capitalized ITTL.Are you going to have Russia go though a baby boom ? Seems like the only way for russia to prevent the demographic problem it has otl without a lot of immigration
Never said he wasn't.Maybe. But Milisevic was a war criminal
Really? I thought that it's been since before the soviet collapse that russia had anything close to replacement level fertilityNever said he wasn't.
No, under the Soviets, the decline was just barely becoming visible, under Gorbachev it became visible, but before him no one really saw the decline. The Baby boom of 1999-2008 was followed by a decline until 2012, and 2012-2014 saw another baby boom, and from 2015-2018 there was again decline, but now in 2019-2020 there is another boom going on.Really?

somewhat.With a more powerful Russia ITTL, do Russia still maintain it foreign allies like Vietnam, Syria and Cuba
Nemtsov is OTL for now; as the energy reformer in Russia.What's Boris Nemtsov doing ittl?
Also, I personally think it unlikely that Roman Abramovich would be caught out here. In otl, he was able to gauge which way the wind was blowing and aligned himself with Putin in 2000, so it wouldn't surprise me if he did the same with Yavlinsky here or transferred as much as he could to a Swiss bank account before heading for Israel (being Jewish, he qualifies for Israeli citizenship automatically).
On February 28th the Russian government announced that the railroad to Anadyr would be completed within three months. This was met with widespread celebrations, as it would mark the end of the first megaproject of the Russian Federation after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Construction time? You are correct I will edit that. Return investment? No. According to the Russian Economy: From Lenin to Putin it's actually a very lucrative project as upkeep price, airport price, seaport price etc would decrease and the project was proposed but was derailed due to the 1998 crisis.I would be very interesting to know how one's manages to build a railway across 2000 km of taiga, tundra and permafrost in a matter of years. It means a tracklaying rate of 3km per day which is almost impossible to achieve and that's assuming that all of the time on the project is spent laying tracks.
This is completely ASB, the Amur–Yakutsk Mainline is still not finished OTL and that's after billions of rubles were invested in the project. The bridge spanning the Lena in order to get to Yakutsk is still a challenge.
It would take years to just survey the land needed to build a railway all the way to Anadyr. Then even if a decision to build the railway is made, another few years will be needed to build the permanent way, embankments, bridges, tunnels etc. Only then can track laying commence.
I'm sorry but this is wholly unrealistic. Not to mention that the return on investment of building a railway to Anadyr is zero.
Geopolitics. Nothing else. Terrorists? Slightly yes.why would russia support pakistan?After the afghan war cluster fuck where pakistan was a willing participant against them?And wouldnt pakistan joining russia lower their standing among their terrorist proxies especially taliban, al qaeda and the various other groups like let, hjm etc?
ah sorry, thanks though!Spelling and grammar could use work but interesting
How were they infamous?started the infamous October 30th celebrations.
