Dave,
One nice thing about v2/2.2 is that they consciously set it in an alternative timeline that diverges from ours in 1991, where the hardliner coup succeeds in 1991. I guess they recognised it was difficult to keep revising the background over the years, this was what happened our timeline was irrelevant.
Many GMs like the v1 background, I try to have it both ways. That is, make the divergence point 1991 but incorporate some political elements from v1 like a communist Poland (due to the communist government overturning election results, and so on) and other states reverting to communism after the failure of the reformers in the USSR.
