    Would Russia have ended up more or less as industrialized if the Whites had won?

    Well for starters I'm not sure if you remember, but I don't believe the 2nd book is actually real.

    The Poles would always be suspicious of any Russian government. Question is if they could actually work together or if Germany manages to peel off the non-communist Russians and stick with the alliance. If even a less bad Depression happens Germany and Russia could do a lot of bartering. I...

    Depends on whether they got loans to rebuild. I'd imagine they wouldn't repudiate the war loans, which is why the USSR got cut off, so they might have a better chance to rehabilitate the country without resorting to extreme measures.
