Sounds interesting, but I think that saying they were after the girl because "she was rich" doesn't seem to cut it IMO.

Maybe they got rich because he is the CEO of a major arms dealer that supplied much of troops that fought against the Soviets?

And remember, if you are going to mess with history, look up the real version first.

Do not use soviet-stereotypes to project how they would act in your situations; look at the stability of the government, economy etc. at the point in history you stage something, and see if you can get the statistics to back up your alternate-history.

See if you can find any events that could turn out differently, like ones where simple human folly determined the outcome.

I cannot wait to see how this story turns out; it seems like a very interesting idea.

No problem. If you decide to stick with this story, I'd be really interested in seeing your first chapter/prologue.

I like this idea and I don't think it's stupid at all. I'd think it'd be a very interesting read.

Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
