They've even moved the capital to Constantinople. (Sort of, its actually the ceremonial and religious capital, all of the government and other important stuff remains in Moscow.)Ahh, you gotta love Russians larping as Romans.
Why isn't the government in Saint Petersburg?They've even moved the capital to Constantinople. (Sort of, its actually the ceremonial and religious capital, all of the government and other important stuff remains in Moscow.)
The Tsar Alexei prefered Moscow to Petrograd and moved the government there in the 1940s.Why isn't the government in Saint Petersburg?

Absolutely dystopian TL.In the average democratic country ITTL such as the UK, France, USA, etc., the franchise is more limited that IOTL. In general, all countries limit voting to citizens that are of the country's state religion and above the age of 25 or married (whichever comes earlier), and in most democratic countries the franchise is additionally limited to:
- Property-owning men
- Men paying more than £2000 per month in rent
- Men that have served for more than 10 years in the military/police/fire service
- Men and women that have received a state honour
- Widows of the above or of military/police/firemen that have died in the line of duty

It seems to be more of a give-take than a strict dystopia. Democracy may not be as strong, but on the other hand from the OP it sounds like nearly everyone has their most basic needs (healthcare, housing, etc.) provided for, which is certainly more than many OTL states today can claim, and there's also the obvious fact that TTL avoided the devastation wrought by the World Wars. Of course, a lot of this also stems from particular political views which would probably be more appropriate for Chat.Absolutely dystopian TL.
