What if hardliner candidate Grigory Romanov was chosen Soviet premier instead of Gorbachev? It was a close thing between the two.

Would the Soviet Union still exist?
Could it have survived based on sheer repression?

Would the Cold War still be ongoing?
What would the world look like?

Soviet economy and state surviving depends on undertaking same reforms China did.
Despite memes hardliners weren't idiots, they were ready to compromise. However they were against Gorbachev's reforms and it turns out they were right (in absolute sense, communism is shit).

Except his reforms killed the USSR. Dictatorships are never in trouble until they liberalize or are invaded.Liberaizing is always the most dangerous time for a regime.
