worldbuilding will have you looking up things such as “racism in the Soviet Union” which then leads to you almost entirely revising how you’re going to go about the Soviet power struggle in the 70s & looking into the rehabilitation of Khrushchev and Lenin-era policies

#obviously both leaders still had issues #notably antisemitism #and with Khrushchev still discriminating against a few groups #but their policies were much more egalitarian than their successors #Stalin reversed a lot of Lenin’s progressive decisions and went back to promoting Russian culture while quashing others #and outlawing homosexuality and much more #while Brezhnev and those that came after him all reversed a lot of work Khrushchev did during de-Stalinization #Soviet politics are a mess man #going to tag this for one of the future novels accordingly #head above water
