Twilight 2000: Countdown to Armageddon
by Richard A. Spake © 1987. Valentin Sergeyevich Pavlov is replaced as the finance minister of the USSR by <name>, who introduces a series of reforms that would allow what is seen as micro-capitalist ventures that start to show improvements of the Soviet Economic outlook. In an effort to save the economy, the Soviet Union gives up on its operations to destabilize the influence of the Allied Western powers in Africa and the rest of the Third World. The Soviet Union will continue to sell weapons systems and other armaments to these client states, but will not provide continued economic support. Communist Hardliners in the Soviet Union start too gravitate between two men; Nikolai Ivanovich Tukhachevsky (a decorated high-ranking Soviet Army Officer whose exploits as a Soviet Military advisor in Vietnam and Afghanistan had drawn a large following that gave him major political capitol within the Soviet military machine and among those industries that produced the soviet military war machines) and Konstantin Dmitrievich Danilov (a mid-level KGB Official whose charismatic speaking ability draws the loyalty of even those who had been supportive of Gorbachev and his reforms). These two men will rise to control the two largest factions of hardliners jockeying into position to oppose the reforms that were about to bring an end the Soviet hegemony over Eastern Europe. 1987: The Year in Review d January 1987 January 1987.

The Hanseatic City of Lübeck was the second-largest city in the Northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, and is one of the major ports of the Federal Republic of Germany. It was for several centuries the "capital" of the Hanseatic League ("Queen of the Hanse") and, because of its Brick Gothic architectural heritage, is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Situated on the river Trave, Lübeck is the largest German port on the Baltic Sea. The old part of the town is an island enclosed by the Trave. The Elbe–Lübeck Canal connects the Trave with the Elbe River. Another important river near the town centre is the Wakenitz. The Autobahn 1 connects Lübeck with Hamburg and Denmark (Vogelfluglinie). The borough of Travemünde is a sea resort and ferry port on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Its central station links Lübeck to a number of lines, notably the line to Hamburg. After a year-long public movement, the West German government signed legislation that granted the the status as an independent city-state (stadtstaaten) that would become known as the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck (Freie und Hansestadt Lübeck), exactly fifty years since the Greater Hamburg Act that had robbed it of its status as a Free and Hanseatic City during the Nazi regime.
