We'll see if Zig Forums can run the USSR and save it from sabotage by the burgers and by opportunists within the party ranks. Time to purge revisionists and build Communism.
Setting difficulty to normal since i doubt anyone wants to play Solzhenitsyn difficulty.
Here's the soundtrack for anyone who wants to get in the mood:

Jack Thompson
Motion…carried… *stares at Khruschjov*
Alexander Kelly
space race grows into an armed conflict
David Brooks
Peaceful space race continues
Connor Adams
Continue the race in a peaceful manner for the sake of pushing forth science.
Joshua Turner
Peaceful space race. I want to see the red flag on Mars
Josiah Howard
The space race continues, peacefully, in spite of the objection of the posadist members of the presidium.
Now, revolution against the US-backed puppet Shah and Khomeini's return to Iran.
Mason Ross
islamig gommunism all the way
Evan Russell
support communist rebels
Luke Torres
Support communist rebels
Nicholas Long
Cut support and sponsor rebels, we can DP Iran later with Saddam and they won't fall into reactionary tendancies.
Brody Reyes
The presidium resolves to support guerrillas of the communist party which is eventually suppressed brutally by the new theocratic state.
Now to decide on censorship and artistic freedom within the union.
Nolan Flores
Imprison. His work was pretty shit tbh.
Samuel Allen
Damn, that backfired. Let the shitty artist be.

Luis Clark
A challenger appears
Logan Allen
The crisis in Poland has been handled in a measured manner.
Now Comrade Andropov has received a letter from an american girl hoping to get to know our Union better. How should we respond?
Comrade Lenin would not approve
Connor Cook
Invite her as a tourist, I don't think a child can be trusted as an intelligence agent.
Parker Wilson
Real me: invite her as a tourist
Inner me: recruit her
Brandon Hall
Spread the loli revolution
Camden Fisher
This.
Brandon Davis
Invite her as a tourist, show her the comfyness of the pioneers.
Charles Cook
This is adorable. Why haven't I heard of this?
Ryan Johnson
It totally was. really tragic that she died so shortly after.
I'm not sure whether the vote is to recruit her or not. I'm going to assume not recruiting her
Nathan Brown
First impulse: Invite and recruit.
On second thought: don't invite her at all, she might be a double agent.
Benjamin Wilson
Dude, she's fucking 9.
Camden Green
I kinda want to see what happens if we recruit her
Luis Miller
Cooler heads prevailed in the Central Committee and no attempt to recruit Samantha Smith was made.
Now we've caught up to 1985 and the game proper.

There is no such thing as too little vigilance.
Sebastian Jackson
Recruitment result for the curious.
Luis Rodriguez
Jesus christ…

Evan Murphy
State of the Union
State of the CPSU
Revenue
Geopolitical alignment
Immediate diplomatic concerns that can be handled:
Do we supply weapons to improve government strength or do we pacify and withdraw
We can supply weapons and support them in war for Kashmir from the start or delay it.
We can invite the People's Republic of Cambodia and Laos into COMECON straight away
As above
As above
We can provide aid for now
as above
Relations with neither France nor China are high enough to get free trade or a pact of friendship.
Cameron Green
Supply weapons to Afghanistan. We are winning this war.
Xavier Clark
...
Austin Martin
Priority one is to give the Afghans weapons, since that can only be done once a year. Give India weapons too. Invite everyone to the COMECON that we can. I don't think we should do too much in the way of subsidies for countries in Africa or Latin America until the economic situation improves and some computer technology has been developed. Additionally, I vote to legalize Stalinism and support the ML line in the politburo.
Luke Edwards
meant South Yemen, fuck
Daniel Cruz
Do it, no risk, no cost.
Aid North Yemen
Delay weapons for India, to please China, the ally of Pakistan and rival of India.
Afghanistan: support government while it's still affordable to do so.
Carson Sanchez
Pay off that debt fam
Cameron Green
Ya'll should start self-critizing, and read Mao and Che for tips on guerilla warfare in order to defeat the 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Mujahideen 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Caleb Fisher
Supply weapons to Afgan and India.
Give civil and military aid to:
Libya.
Syria.
Iraq.
North Yemen,
Indochina.

Invite Cambdia and Vietnam to COMECON, try for Syria too.
Invite Cambodiamand
Cooper Wright
Debt has been paid off, Aid provided to everyone available. Laos and Cambodia in COMECON.
Now for the CPSU decision.

Go with the least liberal choice, even though there's no argument
Jacob Mitchell

Brandon Bell
Kosolapov
Though what power will he have without political backing?
Camden Flores
Stalinism brings stability
Gavin Bailey
Now to select the under-secretary general of the CPSU to give the party clear ideological direction.
Trots have been TINAd
Grayson Parker

Mason Harris
Getting the band back together again.
Elect the conservative so you have support in the party.
Aaron Robinson
Party support isn't such an issue in the remake of the game.
Sebastian Johnson
I'm going purely by instinct, have not played this game yet.
Nolan Taylor
It's moderately entertaining, but has limited replay-ability.
Tyler Ramirez
Ronnie Ray-gun is talkin' shit about satellites with frickin laser beams, how does the USSR respond?
Cooper Gray
Lads if he was the best choice he would be GS, don't fall into return, move to neoleninism with Ligachjov.
Also it makes dealing with the crisis easer being moderates
Samuel Gonzalez
Research our own SDI. Also, take a look at the detailed budget screens (calculator) one of these days and post the quality of life charts.
Nicholas Cooper
Enlarge the nuclear program. It's cheaper by comparison and will kill them just as dead.
Charles Sanchez
Don't waist money on that shit tell em to blow you an get the economy back on track
Blake Long
Counter-program
Juan Harris
Annouce a counter programme, it is good for the Cosmonaught programme.

Brody Clark
Yes, and?
Brandon Barnes
You know what, fuck it. Counter programme. Shoot those satellites out of the sky.
Mason Diaz
Counter-program it is i guess. Presidium pretty divided tho.
Spending and State of the Union screens coming up.
Also maybe cabinet reshuffle.
Liam Long
Check the technology screen to see if that gave us anything
Gavin Phillips
Brings tears to the eye
Eli Rogers
BE GONE, YOU FAT CUNT
Ryder Collins
