I'm imagining up a world where, through incredible science, the soviets successfully develop genetic engineering, the west develop psychic powers, and such things. Lots of inspiration from the metal gear solid series. I want to include some cool interesting real life people, like Ted Kaczynski, and make them even more interesting, like him becoming president or something. Then I also need cool locations, like an east german state run gay disco club. Any suggestions?
Lenin's body is preserved, making it much easier to some kinds of resurrection tech
yeah but bringing Lenin back would have basically meant that the people in charge would no longer be in charge so a plotline about leadership working to prevent the ressurection of Lenin would make a lot of sense as well as have potential for a lot of conflict for example with both genuine socialists and opportunists not knowing who or what to be loyal to
as well as genuine concerns about a ressurected Lenin in a world of nuclear stalemate as even a commited socialist might worry about introducing an element that has potential to upset that delicate balance and someone concerned about holding on to power might lie to other people or even themselves about their true motive there
a story about ressurecting people long dead raises questions about whether the dead belong in the past
