"n'ice to meet you!"

had an idea for another Soviet crossover... this time even more winter-themed : D Our wonderous teachers (alongside with Semyon Semyonovich cause I imagine he's organized the expedition in the first place lol) visit the north to make some pretty shots of tundra - that's when they encounter the locals, in particular, the main characters from a well-known Soviet cartoon "Umka" about a titular polar bear cub.

Assad Meetings and Visits That I Really Wanted to See:

Going to North Korea (DPRK) for a few days and meeting Kim Jong-un. They were pen pals for a long time (tbh I wouldn't be surprised if this continued) and given their awkward personalities and similar life experiences, there would be an instant bond. He'd probably get to see parts of North Korea that are very rarely seen by anyone else (and us in any official photos) and possibly gifted a portrait of Hafez and Kim il-Sung, and a new pet, like a horse

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro coming to visit with Cilia and his son. While Nicolas Maduro Guerra would be visiting universities and religious sites, Bashar, Asma, Nicolas and Cilia would be exploring Damascus and the souks. Maduro's exuberant, excitable personality would really shine through, possibly forcing Bashar to make a few awkward TikTok videos

I feel like Asma meeting Janja da Silva and Veronica Alcocer (Gustavo Petro's wife) would've been somewhat realistic

Visits to Central Asian countries and Abkhazia

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko coming to visit (no Umka though, although I think Zein would've loved Umka. How can you not love Umka?!)

The Alliance of Sahel States leaders dropping by - Assimi Goïta of Mali, Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso and Abdourahamane Tchiani of Niger

I was actually kinda hoping that he would've gone to that climate change summit in the UAE, but his prime minister at the time went instead

The big one, that I was really hoping for one day, was a Bashar al-Assad and Saif al-Islam Gaddafi meeting. I even had two dreams about it, including one rather vivid one just a month after Saif's NYT comeback interview

Bashar meeting Saif off the plane at the airport, the car ride to the palace, the public meeting, the closed-door meeting where things might get emotional, but replaced with laughter - and heck, Saif pretends he isn't shy and awkward but he is and always has been. Bashar might even try on Saif's bisht

Then they'd sign agreements and hug and raise each other's clasped hands into the air

Imagine Arab Summits with Saif and Bashar. Now there's going to be no-one
