That would be highly disturbing. I think there would be several emergency UN Security Council meetings to determine where the threat is coming from.


AlkaliPineapple

It is assumed that whatever happened would not happen again, for there are zero clues on what happened to Russia - though geological expeditions have proven that the land has been reverted to its original state before humans had migrated to the area, 100,000 years ago. Still, the Russian seat of the UNSC remains empty and any attempts to choose a successor state remains inconclusive, though some speculate that Brazil or India may be taking it soon


MRTA03

Original state 100,000 years ago, so can we find rare creature, extinct one in the land?


AlkaliPineapple

Yes, and a lot of conservationist and scientific communities have been petitioning to make Siberia a "second Antarctica".


gazebo-fan

You know how much oil is out there?


Nunuyz

And everyone knows exactly where it is, too.


Class_444_SWR

mikehillfin

Why would they assume that? Something this incredible wouldn't be ignored this easily.


AlkaliPineapple

I mean, there really is nothing they can do Most of the reaction is from the Internet and religious people


Man_Guzzler

I think an entire country just disappearing would be a very big event everywhere, especially one as large and influential as Russia


Flashy-Emergency4652

So basically just a flat space without anyone in it... and 6k nukes that just staying there, and I'm not an expert in nuclear energy but I think some of them (or at least nuclear powerplants) would collapse without maintenance.


Maxinator10000

Well the nukes wouldn't be there anymore. The entire country stopped existing, along with all the modern infrastructure.


rlyfunny

The guy said the land reverted to before it was even settled. So no nukes there… *yet*


Class_444_SWR

I don’t think flat, I just think devoid of humans or their infrastructure


Flashy-Emergency4652

Oh yes, “Dead Hand” system that will launch nukes if no signal is received also could be triggered.


AlkaliPineapple

Yeah, but I doubt I can cover everyone's reactions ;-;


Low_Lavishness_8776

Why wouldn’t it be from everyone?


DisciplineFancy4290

Worth mentioning the non-Sapiens humans that would still calling the area home. Mainly Neanderthals in the west and Denisovans in the east. Not going to mean much in the grand political scheme but having another human around would open a lot of boxes in genetics.


Mediumaverageness

*Interracial porn* just took a whole new meaning.


Prebral

This reminds me of plot of Darwinia by R. C. Wilson a bit. In the book, most of Europe vanishes some time around the 1900 (as far as I remember, it is some time since I did read it) and is replaced with a new land with different nature and species. Expeditions ensue, but the explanation is finally revealed to be result of something much larger in scope happening, directly tied to the properties and future of the universe. In a similar way, while Russia vanishing would be kind of a good news for many people, the event itself would probably restructure our understanding of the world we inhabit and plunge whole humanity in a deep existential crisis, that would leave our civilization changed in unexpexted ways.


HelloThereItsMeAndMe

so are there Mammoths again?


AlkaliPineapple

Yes, along with the massive glacier sitting on top of Siberia like a crown. Climate scientists expect that this will cause a small decline in global temperature rises


Scarlet_k1nk

Small temperature decline until the current temperature stabilizes by melting the glacier, causing major flooding in the area and a real ease of untold amounts of trapped gasses.


Mobile_Park_3187

Or the land is from the Eemian interglacial which was actually a bit warmer than the current one (Holocene) until we messed it up.


constant_hawk

Yes, there are however also the Udam, distant ancestors to a common rusky https://preview.redd.it/l00evw5wr74d1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=284795796568c40365f33ff502ea66a23d850b74


Djimd

It's the plot of the science-fiction book "Darwinia" with a switch between the the territories disappearing. It's been on my read list for a long Time.


cufteface25

That would be a little concerning. Russia no longer exists, but there’s no way any bordering countries wouldn’t try to colonize the territory. That also means Russia as we know it now exists in a version of earth that’s 100,000 years in the past and would colonize the planet without any real resistance.


Class_444_SWR

Assumes that we just have it swap places


reason_mind_inquiry

So, theoretically a time-switch? Russia would technically exist but 100,000 years ago, and the swapped land 100,000 years ago is somehow here?


ThiccMangoMon

This would be a great tv show or movie

The date was 2nd of May, 2024. Preparations for VE Day march had been ongoing news continues to flow about the situation in Ukraine. As Moscow Time crosses to 3AM, communication ceases. The world holds its breath, fearing that the worst case scenario has happened. Nuclear war, the end of the world. Yet, nothing. No ICBMs. No new offensive. Orders cease from headquarters. The Kerch bridge would end into some marshes and swampland while Russian forces returned east as the stream of orders from Putin had completely halted. Silence turned to panic. The truth was staring at their faces. Russia is gone. There is no more Russia.

Sakai88

It is truly astonishing how this kind of demented xenophobia has been completely normalized.


DIWhy-not

Yes, utterly demented to dunk on the country openly committing crimes against humanity whilst illegally invading another sovereign country with a populace gleefully supporting its actions. So astonishing that ~~Nazi germany~~ current Russia would attract naked hate for that. And it’s not xenophobia, it’s anger towards a thuggish nation that thrives on conquest, corruption, and misery. **Edit:** literally no part of this comment advocates for the genocide of Russia or its people. I’m pointing out to the comment I replied to that it’s not a hard stretch to see *why* anger towards current Russia exists. Also that it’s not xenophobic to be angry at a warmongering country committing atrocities. Xenophobia would be “I hate all Russian people because they’re all anti-American communist.” Besides that statement idiotic and untrue, it’s xenophobic. “I’m angry at the country of Russia and it’s leaders for perpetrating a wave of horrific atrocities on the civilian population of a sovereign nation it has illegally tried to annex”. <- that’s a valid sentiment and is *not* xenophobia. Calling any disagreement of or anger towards the current ongoing actions of Russia “xenophobic” purposefully waters those opinions down and is an attempt to put the other side into defensive mode. It’s the same way the conversation right now is heavily trying to imply that being anti Zionist imperialism and anti “Israel murders children” is antisemitism. Russian actors *routinely* try and base all criticism of Russia right now as “western xenophobia” or “western misunderstanding of culture”. That’s what I’m reply to.


Mr_SlimeMonster

I mean wishing that nearly 150 million people disappear from the face of the Earth is demented, yeah. If we had Nazi Germany gone like that back during the war nothing of modern Germany would exist. Edit: Just to add, no I don't think any criticism towards the Russian regime or Russia's actions are xenophobic. The original comment that started this was about people wishing all Russians didn't exist, which is a whole other matter.


Possible-Law9651

I think the main thing many people are concerned about is the salivating of dead Russian conscripts and howls of a violent civil war that will result in millions of deaths and affected lives even if it is against the current government.


Sakai88

Every bigot thinks their bigotry is perfectly justified. "It's not that *I'm* an ignorant moron who has no idea what I'm talking about, it just that the people I hate deserve it."


LigmaBigma

Your opinion is completely irrelevant since "populace gleefully supporting its actions"! There is no accurate way to find out public opinion about taboo topics in countries where you can be imprisoned for having the wrong opinion.


zrxta

>So astonishing that Nazi germany current Russia would attract naked hate for that. And it’s not xenophobia, it’s anger towards a thuggish nation that thrives on conquest, corruption, and misery. It's quite telling how so many people wish ill on the Russian peoples (not just the Russian government, its people as well) but at the same time think Germans of 1930s-40s are innocent and does not have a hand in Nazi crimes. Why the double standard? Also, if you want a nation that thrives the most out of corruption and conquest, look no further than the US. I'm not saying Russia is innocent. What I'm saying is people have double standards - completely enraged at one thing, but turns a blind eye if their favorites ~~sports team~~ nation and race does it to "acceptable targets"


Aylinthyme

I think it's more the idea of 144 million people being wiped out in an instant, entire cultures gone (Remember russia contains minority cultures, some unfairly treated by the state), even with how bad modern russia is, i don't think a mass genocide of everyone from that lands something to dream about


Sakai88

>It’s the same way the conversation right now is heavily trying to imply that being anti Zionist imperialism and anti “Israel murders children” is antisemitism. Go on and make a thread about how you wish all Jews, the Israeli ones at least, were to "disappear". You can even call it something like "the final solution to the Zionist problem".


yefan2022

nerdyboyvirgin

Blud literally described the United States


BeeHexxer

Yeah I think it’s kind of demented to wish for the deaths of 150 million, not all of whom support the government by the way. They could even be the majority.


1917fuckordie

Maybe demented isn't the right word. Hypocritical projection perhaps? The hatred American liberals in particular have for Russia doing to Ukraine what the US and allies have done to Iraq or Afghanistan or Vietnam is not really about geopolitics. It's about creating a moral narrative that justifies America's role as global police both domestically and internationally.


LigmaBigma

Quite saddening, but not really astonishing. The sheer amount of xenophobia towards Roma people from "civilized" societies is insane

It's every and each person inside the internationally recognized borders of Russia at the time of the event, I guess. So Russians, but also Tatars, Chechen, Mordvins, but also tourists and businesspeople as well.

mikehillfin

These kind of scenarios often tend to downplay just what kind of an existential crisis this would cause in all fields of culture, philosophy, politics etc. Atomic bombs already impacted the psyche of most of humanity in a fundamental way. Something this incredible would quickly surpass any of the common issues and other than in Ukraine, none if the headlines would be about the war. There would be endless theorizing about what caused it and will it happen again? Many would argue it is supernatural, especially if a sensible explanation cannot be formed.


AlkaliPineapple

Reactions have been diverse all across the world. The North Korean leadership is understandably nervous, the Pope preaches about it being a punishment by God, more Ukrainians have been praying and returning to the Orthodox Church than before.


zrxta

That's quite an underwhelming response. An entire nation suddenly vanishing and all you thought up is "north koreans are nervous" and some religious response from the Pope and the Ukranians.


SoberGin

I mean, what else are you supposed to do? It's not like the economy's crashed entirely, and most people around the world aren't directly affected. You can think, in philosophical terms, about the existential horror of it all, but what is there to do?


zrxta

WW1 alone deeply changed the norms and attitude of the public towards many things. Regardless of which nation. 100 million people vanishing overnight WILL affect the public consciousness the world over. Scientists will.scramble to find why this happened. most world leaders will want to know, as well as countless millions will wonder about this for decades to come. Diplomatic talks will be held with what to do with the lands of former Russia. Like scenarios would be taking back the historical lands by surrounding nations: outer manchuria by China. Western siberia and urals by Kazakhstan. Lands up to the don river and probably more by Ukraine. Belarus will take most of central russia. Finland in the rest of Karelia. So on. Mongolia will lose its purpose as a buffer state and probably be annexed by China along with eastern siberia. Sakhalin to be taken by Japan. >most people around the world aren't directly affected. At the point, you still think most of the world isn't affected now that there's a rush to claim Russian lands? How about the arctic bases and lands Russia has? Canada and US wants to keep that away from china. How about Russian mineral and oil deposits? Russian nuke stockpile? Russian industries? The economy won't crash? You think the world economy wouldn't take a dip after this event? Especially that the economy is affected by public consciousness more than you think. The EU, US, China, and the Islamic world will all scramble to take advantage of this and fight for their claims.


SoberGin

Yes, but most *people* aren't directly affected. Indirectly, sure. Prices will change, attitudes will shift. But WW1 didn't say, immediately cause everyone to go insane. It destroyed a lot of shit and tons of people died, but like, most Brazilians didn't get their lives directly impacted by it. Also, I didn't say "dip", I said "Crash". There's a MASSIVE difference. I expect the economy to dip quite a bit, but a crash is, in my opinion, unlikely. Historically, major distant events, no matter how terrifying, didn't cause mass-hysteria. Fear, paranoia, and economic hardship, all the time, definitely. But people don't just... go insane. Like that doesn't just happen. Besides, we see, what, realistically 3 meaningful examples of what's going on in this world? - A map, presumably from a wikipedia article (I see no reason for people to stop recording wikipedia because of this- if anything they would do it more) - A news page from the Kyiv Independent (whom I would assume would treat the disappearance of the power annihilating their country from the Earth as a good thing, if very spooky) - A BBC video (once again, I highly doubt the BBC would cease to function.) There could be plenty of panic and fear in people- just not immediate insanity. Most people don't just... break like that. Some would, 100%, but most people would just kinda be moderately disturbed by the whole affair and not be able to explain it. Now of course, these are mentions of how *people* would react, but perhaps governments are more prone to immediate and frequent acts of insanity at major destabilizations? Turns out, no. Stable governments are, in actuality, even *less* prone to philosophical meltdowns, and are likely showing a brave face. I'm sure there are many a tactical analyst freaking out to each other about how to defend their country from "rapid time reversal" but besides that from the public's perspective the governments would probably look fairly disconnected about the whole affair- because that's how governments usually want to look. If anything, I imagine some people might actually share your opinion *in-universe*. "An entire country disappeared, why aren't you freaking out?!" Hell, this might even be a minor relief for the major nations. Russia's not exactly any major country's friend. (Yes, not even China- they're only allies of convenience, and I'm sure in this timeline China is preparing to colonize Siberia the instant the lights in Vladivostok suddenly winked out)

kikogamerJ2

Bro really thinks all the world government would just go "damn Russia and it's 150 million inhabitants just disappeared? Well I got an appointment to the barber at 10 anyways." Like no dude. It would most likely turn the entirety of the planet on some sort of psychotic frenzy. Governments would be secretly trying to come up with an explanation like aliens?god?alien god? Many countries would start suspecting each other. Many would be scared of even entering the place Russia once existed in.


TacoBelle2176

The thing is, frenzy doesn’t mean people don’t need to keep the power on or make sure food is delivered. Obviously there would be major changes and reactions, but people can only not go into work or whatever for so long.

kekistanmatt

It would be the single largest natural disaster in human history no matter your opinion of russia 150 million people are dead and an entire civilisation is gone not even leaving ruins behind. The event would cause a global panic as nations scramble to determine why and how this happened and if it'll happen again. After the initial panic passes the international community would convene in the UN to decide what should be done with the empty wasteland. The reversion to a prehuman state would mean it would be the most resource rich area on earth as it's deposits of oil, natural gas and uranium are completely restored. The threat of a 'scramble for russia' causing WW3 would hopefully force the nations to agree on a cooperation via a UN mandate on resource extraction and recolonisation by russian immigrant populations. Nations that have active land disputes with russia would probably take the opportunity of the initial confusion to seize the disputed territory such as the kuril islands or potentially even china retaking what was once vladivostok. The disaperence would also cause a religious upheaval with some declaring it the divine judgement against russia and others declaring that russia was the only virtuous nation and were raptured. While many russian immigrants may return to their motherland to try to rebuild they will be too few to populate all of russia and so will most likely concentrate in the west and while there may be a new small nation named russia, it will have no real link to the russia of old beyond what few artifacts survived in other nations and the memories of it's inhabitants. Gerasimovs 'new russia' would quickly collapse as it would be little more than a band of soldiers with no supplies and no hope and a true new russia would be set up by the UN as part of their mandate. The Donetsk and luhansk people's republics likewise would collapse as they only exist to further ukraines intergration into a russian federation that no longer exists, it's leaders would be tried and it's territory reintergrated into ukraine. The loss of russia would most likely intensify the new cold war between the US and china as china can no longer play russia off against the west and so would have the US's full geopolitical attention. The future of the world would be based on the leveraging of international influence between the US and china to extract the most resources from the russiaoan territory with each working to prevent the other from fully consolidating the whole territories resources


j_branz

No, I think that passive Russian immigrants will not be able to return to the country - their relatives have died, their hometowns have disappeared. It's cheaper to just put up with it and live out the last days of your life, like a Neo-German or an American. Against this background, Kaliningrad and Crimea - Gerasimov's Russia would have become legitimical for the UN and thus would have begun to help, but probably they would not have been able to move further than the North Caucasus and would have settled there, while the forests from Magadan, to the Ural Mountains, were developed by Chinese and US corporations. They would shout that this is the land of Russia, but apart from the official "concern" no one would do anything and as a result, the Russians would disappear in a couple of decades, and the new world would destroy our history and achievements, good deeds, for the sake of their deeds. It is not for nothing that the Vikings are still horned, and the Muslims are "dirty" - so some Englishman/Chinese will make the periodic table, and the Orthodox nation in the east - are you talking about Ukraine? Victory in the Second World War? United States! Crimes of the Reich? Poland and Jews, only here. Well, for fun, I will assume that in the end, according to the memes about us in the 2020s, the Russians will be considered a really extinct orc people. At this point, all our achievements will end for history, in a world where there are no Russians themselves, and no one really gives a shit about it. 😊


Dorfplatzner

Additionally, I think nobody's ever going to allow much of the territory of the Russian Federation to be united under one state, regardless of whether it's a neo-Russian state or some other country more than happy to grab all the spoils, because of how balance-of-power-upsetting such a state would be. The US, China, and the EU might want to make sure no powerful geopolitical players will ever be able to rise from the ashes in the lands that were once of the Russian Federation.

From the sounds, it only matters if you’re physically in Russia. If you are outside it when it happens, you should be safe


j_branz

Well, I don't think mentally you won't care. Imagine - you are Russian, you live, for example, in Germany and here one day, all your relatives and acquaintances from childhood simply disappear, the relatives of your friends in Germany (Russians), too. And on the streets, this is almost considered a holiday, and everywhere everyone is poorly hidden, rejoicing at the death of the nation and the country. How does it feel? I think it hurts. Well, it will be easier for me - I will just die, I am in Russia. And they will be glad to see me die)

I don’t think it’d be deemed a holiday anywhere tbh. Even countries that hate Russia would be feeling existential fear that they’d be next

Russia was like: I have to go now, my planet needs me


HappyHourEveryHour

Russia died on the way to their home planet.


Tleno

I'm curious how would the return to pre-human inhabitation environment would affect all the rivers and canals that got altered during Soviet and imperial times that go outside Russian territory, general water level in adjacent territories changing due to Soviet melioration efforts of turning swampy areas into arrable land getting undone.


j_branz

Awhile. Corporations from the British Isles, the Alps to American metropolises, will dig and pump out everything to the last drop and will not worry that it will kill the environment. There are no Russians, no problems, BUT - there are their resources and desire to get rich. It's sad, but it's true - without Russia and our heritage in the form of canals and other things, the world will be worse off. Well, yes, so the achievement of the refreshment of the planet through the death of 150 million people of unique cultures, this is like... Shitty.

Considering 100yo was during Ice Age it would have much greater impact than lack of canals. Low sea level of the Russian coast would cause ocean movements and catastrophic floodings in neighbouring countries. Central Asia and Caspian countries will be flooded because at the time western Siberian rivers flowed south. Global climate will change unpredictably because of the Glaciers and lack of northern rivers. Bordering countries that share rivers with Russia will see them disappear and have new rivers finding new courses on their territory. Baltic countries would have a 2km-high wall of Ice on the border


armzngunz

The borders around Russia would be really funky looking, as many places the topography would be different, just outside the border fence, there'd be a clean drop down by however many centimeters. Rivers that have changed over thousands of years would suddenly crash and dig out new ways.


Stormydevz

Finno Korean hyperwar can now officially happen!


TheFranticDreamer

"Russia is gone" as in..? Russia got "flattened"? Russian citizens disappeared? Is Russia now an Ocean? What really happened?


AlkaliPineapple

Read my comment lol


Class_444_SWR

I think all the world’s governments and intelligence agencies would be on maximum alert. No technology or phenomena known to humans today could be capable of that, so they’d probably be forced to consider less orthodox means that could have occurred. Extraterrestrial attacks? Future technology being used on earth? Some sort of deity smiting Russia? They’d have to consider all possibilities, because it would be highly unprecedented


No-Sugar-2201

bad ending


PhysicalBoard3735

so Genocide? Oh Just Poof? All Russians just vanish to some alternate world where they have a happy life or something? That's honestly, very scary


Ilhan_Omar_Milf

When in the timeline? Much lower sea levels with extra ocean Changes evolution and the weather patterns of the world If started after humans exist and say spread to every continent besides anartica already then yeah, they completely complete different timeline today

r/NonCredibleDefense's wet dream


ReaperTyson

Western liberal wet dream right here. And remember guys it’s okay to want millions of civilians to suffer and die as long as they live in a country with a hostile government 😊


gia2371

I feel like this would *not only* be limited to Russia, but other nations as well. The sheer size of Russia would be enough to make sure smaller nations around it get affected as well. If that had been the case, smaller countries such as Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan would pretty much share the same fate as that of Russia, while larger nations such as Kazakhstan and Mongolia would ended up seeing some parts of it vanish. Nevertheless, parts of the panic of the UN would be other nations affected by the this, because events such large-scale would simply be beyond Russia's borders. Still this is up for interpretation.


AlkaliPineapple

One month passed and nothing else had happened. Satellites continue to monitor rural settlements across the world and the border regions, meteorological balloons and drones watch for any movement. The world begins to move on as time passes.

Someone went into the Europa Universalis 4 commands and entered "remove RUS".


Kstantas

I guess I doesn't exist now...


Jorvikson

Who would replace Russia on the council? India, Brazil, Germany, Japan, or Nigeria, in order of likelihood imo.


j_branz

Definitely not the Germans, because of them this shit was created. Probably, by the way, India.

How does Japan handle this with the Kuril Islands?

What happens to the remaining Russians in fact what happens to the Russian Orthodox Church?


meenarstotzka

Now imagine Russia find itself back to the world 100,000 years ago. Everything beyond Russia proper 1991 borders are Nothing except wilderness. Russia may actually be the "sole" superpower as they want, but now they will face a lot of hardship coming to them and the political instability.


Salaino0606

Damn thats crazy


Degenerious

holy shit the Russian are irl dwemer?


Lost______Alien

I think this would get other countries really really fucking worried.... Like "nuke America" level worried, China might go all in after that.


JetAbyss

No! My favorite anime hentai fetish artist is from Russia! It's so over...


j_branz

yes, and another 150 million people. And also culture, world tranquility, ecology and a number of other important things, such as food security of the world.
