Try this idea, a nuclear war in the early 1950's. At that time the USSR had very few bombs (later during the time America was upset over the "Missle Gap" the "Gap" was overwhelmingly in the West's favor). Assume that the Soviets collapse. A very likely scenario.

Doubtless, everybody would still demonize and resent the USA, but if Russia reforms in this world as in our own, the Europe of the 1960s might face a new Imperialist Crony Capitalist Russia. That would skew the culture in interesting ways.
