Sputnik-1, the first satellite in space, was launched by the USSR, and Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space when he made the first manned orbital flight with Vostok 1. The Sino-Soviet split, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Khrushchev's resignation from power and subsequent replacement by Brezhnev marked the beginning of the Brezhnev Era. In 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission.

1970 : In our timeline, the Soviet Union did not send a crewed mission to the moon due to a lack of interest from the leadership of the Soviet Union, specifically from Brezhnev. However, in this alternative timeline, the Soviet Union succeeded in sending its first person to the moon with Luna 15 on November 17, 1970. This mission was accomplished with Alexei Leonov inside the spacecraft, making him the second person to ever walk on the moon and the Soviet Union became the second country to successfully reach the moon.

Yuri Andropov died in 1982, and Konstantin Chernenko replaced him in 1984. Chernenko died in 1985, and Mikhail Gorbachev became General Secretary of the Communist Party. That's when Glasnost and Perestroika reforms began. The Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Malta Summit with Bush and Gorbachev, the end of the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Germany reuniting, the Eastern Bloc disintegrating, and the Warsaw Pact dissolving-that was a lot to take in. The Soviet Union was in a state of chaos.

On 19th of August 1991, Soviet Army rolls into Moscow and the August Coup begins. State Committee on the State of Emergency is formed. Leaders of the coup are the same as in OTL, on the 20th of August Boris Yeltsin has been found by KGB (lead by Vladimir Kryuchkov) and was executed. On the 22nd of August, Gorbachev (under house arrest) officially resigned from the position of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and has handed the position to the vice president of the USSR Gennady Yanayev, with Dmitry Yazov as the defence minister and Boris Pugo the minister of the interior rooting out the final pro-Yeltsin elements from the military and state apparatus. The August Coup officially ended on the 27th of August 1991, there was no notable reaction from the public of the USSR considering that besides Gorbachev's resignation, announcement of forming of the State Committee on the State of Emergency and news of Yeltsin's death under "mysterious conditions" there was no TV broadcast of the coup.
