Viktor Grishin was considered an alternative to Gorbachev to succeed Chernenko. However, in early 1985, he dragged the ill Chernenko to vote, which was considered cruel, ruining his chances. Suppose he hadn't done this and was chosen to replace Chernenko. He was a Brezhnevite. Would he have tried to use force to suppress the 1989 revolutions? Would the Soviet Union have been able to last until 1992, the year he died in our timeline?
