Свои карты юзер YNot1989 сопроводил подробным альтернативноисторическим сценарием, в котором начало изменений связано с одним неординарным человеком. Доктор Исаак Андреевич Чацкин из Одессы открывает пенициллин раньше, чем это произошло в реальности, и это запускает все последующие события.

1891 - Chatzkin and the MSO begin recruiting medical researchers from across the Russian Empire to study bacteriology, virology, and immunology. Most of the research staff are Jews like Chatzkin. The advent of antibiotics by the largely Jewish MSO leads to cooling of antisemitic sentiment in Russia. Tsar Alexander III does not reverse many of the antisemitic laws of the Russian Empire, but he does not attempt to inflame antisemitic sentiment either.

The only High King of Germany is spared death by his brother, and forced into exile in Switzerland.

"Таким образом, холодная война не заканчивается в 1989 году. В этом году Германия и Россия образуют личную унию, при этом российский царь также становится немецким императором.
Космическая гонка – это гонка, в которой Россия должна проиграть. Они опередили США в высадке на Луну, но США осуществили очень рискованную посадку на Марс в 1975 году. Большая часть космических ресурсов сосредоточена на низкой орбите для ремонта спутников, как и в реальности. Россия и США имеют свои собственные флоты космических шаттлов, а их исследовательские программы поддерживают ряд баз на Марсе, которые по состоянию на 2022 год сопоставимы с антарктическими аванпостами в нашем мире с точки зрения населения и относительного культурного воздействия.
У обеих сторон есть самолеты-невидимки, авианосные ударные группы и, что немаловажно, независимые интернет-сети в масштабах их блоков. Глобального Интернета не существует, есть американский и российский, которыми пользуются их различные союзники".
