What's the status of Alexander Shlyapnikov, Sergei Medvedev, Alexandra Kollontai, and Yuri Lutovinov?
Alexander Shlyapnikov: leading a Trade Union, rising within the overal Trade Union organisation, also leader of the Workers Opposition originating Soviet Union Worker's Party and it's Russian subbranch the Russian Worker's Party
Sergei Medvedev: leading the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry (Narkomtiazhprom) aiding in some of the Ural and SIberia colonial and industrial city building projects.
Alexandra Kollontai: has helped greatly in reforming bureaucratisation and to much centralization by aiding the creation of more internal SSR autonomy and the mid-section SSR subdivision. while also still being critical of some aspects of the New Economic Policy she does not find ideal.
Yuri Lutovinov: a memebr of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), Ukrainian Communist Party (Bolsheviks), the Workers Opposition and the Council of Trade Unions, working hard to protectindustrial wages and direct the New Economic Policy so they would benefit the Workers most.
 
If there's one thing we should *do is have Crimea be an "Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic" since there are other ethnic groups like the Tartars, Ukrainians and the like.

Had to look up the map again, it is seperated from Ukraine, so we could make Crimea a ASSR easily even without map changes, after all even the Volga Germans got theirs.
 
Looking at the map myself, I think that once the civil war is finish in Mexico we should invest and supply them as to counter their economic dependents from the US and increase positivity towards the left. Also I think you give Mexico the turquoise green color* since I dislike that color.

Yeah leftist Mexico could be a powerful ally in Central and Latin/ South America in general. :D
Would be a good base of operations when more socialist revolutions erupt in South America. Also, we should work to improve the situation of the French Communists, and see if we can split off some of the SFIO to merge with them. Popular Fronts may ally with us but in the long term wont sustain and the liberal elements remain our enemies. Looking at French electoral history, if we work to stunt the growth of the radical right in France (preventing Italian fascist and German nazi influence would be key here) and position ourselves as an alternative system when the Greta depression hits, we could change popular support from a popular front in the 1930s to a CGT-PCF-Left SFIO Government. This would be a delicate needle to thread but our success and influence in Europe combined with the havoc the Great Depression will create could make it possible. It's important to note, however, once France or Germany goes decidedly socialist or communist or anarchist or whatever, it's pretty much the last chance we'll get in the near future, so the two need to happen alongside each other. With one of them in our sphere the capitalist powers will REALLY begin gearing up against us, and if one comes to us and the other doesnt, the socialist elements are probably gonna be purged in a last ditch effort (assuming this doesn't spark a revolution itself).

Following this, we need to raise wealth, both to stuff the pockets of our allies, fund communist opposition in our enemies, keep our bloc afloat, and use it for strategic bailouts for future allies when the time comes. This may be illegal depending on how much knowledge of the future we get to use in this TL, or at least very cheeky, but here goes:
We short sell before the great depression.
By buying a fuckton of stocks, short selling them to time it with the collapse of the US economy, the largest the world has seen, we will be able to raise an enormous amount of capital we can reinvest safely into our insulated and separate sphere of influence, enriching everyone within it. If we use this capital to purchase industrial equipment and technology abroad on the cheap as everyone is collapsing due to the depression, we can use this ephemeral capitalist stocks-wealth to create serious, material, bread-and-butter, steel and radios and furniture for the Comintern Bloc. This will give us untold influence, boost our economy tremendously, and have the populations of the world toiling in capitalist squalor in the great depression look on in envy at our quality of life and stability. We can also use it to fund communist parties, who during the depression would be poised to take power due to mass discontent with capitalism. We can justify it in canon with an Soviet economic institute of economists and intellectuals who predict a imminent collapse or something.
Is it against the spirit of the TL? Probably, I doubt it would be implemented. But a cool idea nonetheless.
 
That would need some foresight and the ability to buy these assets, and doubt we would be capable of doing so.

Also a map I'm working on takes much, much longer then anticipated, so a little more time before the next update sadly...
 
British Soviet Split
osu_british_soviet_split_by_sheldonoswaldlee_dg0spn4-fullview.jpg

While in the United States the first experimental motion picture instead of the electromechanic TV system is transmitted by Philo Farnsworth, and the Australian Parliament changed from Melbourne to Canberra, the Soviet Union was more interested in the British raid on the Soviet Trade Delegation in London, under suspicion of supporting the local Socialist and Communist Parties, as well as even more radical left-leaning groups and movements in the United Kingdom. At the same time Soviet Propaganda uses the Bath School Disaster, which saw a school official attach children violently, killing 45, viewed by many inside the Soviet Propaganda Machinery as what happened to the human mind inside a Capitalist and Imperialist Education/ Propaganda Apparatus. Calmer voices within the Soviet Apparatus meanwhile publicly explained their worries for the victims and their relatives, hoping the Untied States would have the same guarantees of financial security, injured Soviet Workers and their loved ones could benefit from in chase of work related accidents and death. Quickly said program was adopted by the Socialist Party of America and the Communist Party of America respectively, who tried to instrumentalist the incident to really for better psychological and physical healthcare for workers and labor forces everywhere in the United States. Thanks to the Treaty of Jeddah, the United Kingdom recognized the authority of King Ibn Saud over the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd, allowing them to get one step closer to an Untied Arab and Arabian Peninsula Nation State. The Soviet Union was quick to chime in that if the British truly wished to respect the Arab people in their diplomacy and agreement, they would give over the rest of the Middle East to them, like they had agreed upon during the Great War in support for their aid in the War against the Ottoman Empire, a speech that resulted in a much better Soviet-Arab relation overall and the increasing rise of Arab Socialism and Arab Communism, which would mix with pan-Arab Nationalism all across the Middle East. Saudi Arabia itself, while a Kingdom also proclaimed to be a People’s Republic in the hopes that they would support the Pan-Arab Nation Idea across the Middle East and North Africa. Inside the Soviet Union meanwhile, the ethnic Russian, Tartar, German, Bulgarian, Jewish and Polish divided Crimean Peninsula, was turned into the Crimea ASSR. While Charles Lindbergh flies across the Atlantic Solo nonstop in the Spirit of St Louis, from Paris fo New York, the Soviet Union focuses much more on their friends in Asia, when the Gulang Earthquake hits Gansu in northwest China, killing over 40,000 and leaving many more homeless and without foot and other basic supplies. Close to the Soviet Border from Mongolia and East Turkestan/ Xinjang, local Soviet Union Red Army forces, after questioning for United Chinese People’s Republic approval aid local Chinese authorities and forces in the rescue and reconstruction work. As a result of the United Kingdom operations against the Soviet Trade Delegation, results in the British cutting all official diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union on the grounds of espionage and underground agitation, while at the same time also striking heavily against Socialist, Communist and Trade Union parties and movements across the British Isles.

While not overall untrue, the British accusation and actions have put us in a bat spot inside the United Kingdom and Europe, what should we do?
A) Protest Diplomatically
B) Expell British diplomats and other personals as well, cut them from operating and investing in the Soviet Union, even if this deminishes our own rebuilding and economy.
C) Let's try to calm down the situation diplomatically.
D) Accuse a British Group within the Soviet Union of something equal and have a fake trial to blame the British too.

Let us try a combination of (A) and (C) comrades, but we must be prepared to use (B) if needed.
 
A&C) Protest for attacking the Trade Union but try to calm down the problem, but if both of those options doesn't work then we go with D.

*Also you forgot to mentioned the Crimea ASSR.
