RA2 (and by proxy, YR) is implicitly set in the 1970s, since the ending cutscene for the Allied campaign shows a magazine cover that features a photo of Tanya's capture of Romanov with the date "31 July 1972". And MO is explicitly set in 1982, as the wiki article for the Third Great War shows. What I don't see ever explained is why the date was moved 10 years forward.

Perhaps more preperation? After all the allies were alot more stronger and well defended compared to vanilla ra2 that even the joint Russia-Chinese invasion of UK failed.

Three reasons. First is that Einstein is dead and without him there is no time machine
Second is that the Soviets and Epsilon are more powerful
Third, certain subfactions would not exist or have an army (Latin Confederation, Pacific Front, Scorpion Cell). Rather than have the USA and Russia be the face of the conflict as in the vanilla game
