Nope, but something MUCH more entertaining is. As Putin isn't going to make way for liberals, democrats, socialists, intellectuals or any other group that for decades believed in compromises and appeasement, he's going to lose it only in power struggle and that means only to whomever is scarier to his court then him. So there would be A LOT of blood. Not sure if they'd be on Red Khmers scale, but we'll see;)

@meejinhuang Cuban Missile Crisis was largely a bluff, political play on Khrushev's part. Same as space race. Stalin wasn't about political clout. So you wouldn't see neither missiles on Cuba, nor Gagarin in space. What you WOULD see is another dozen attempts of Tito's life, maybe even open war with Yugoslavia, attempts to cause coup in Iran a decade earlier. Lack of Sino-Soviet Split would probably mean an attempt to invade Taiwan or even Second Korean War. Oh, yeah, and purges will never stop.
