Just this morning Soviet tanks make their way into Azerbaijan. Civilians leave their homes to see that they are now part of a new golden age. A new Soviet Union has returned in their eyes. As Tanks and APC's pass in streets, civilians cheer, waving the red flag and singing the communist internationale.

Arise ye workers from your slumbers

Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We'll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

So comrades, come rally

And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction

On tyrants only we'll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They'll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We'll shoot the generals on our own side.

No saviour from on high delivers

No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E'er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we'll strike while the iron is hot.

Of course, how can there be a revolution in a troubled nation without counter revolutionary elements. Azerbaijani military outposts were destroyed quickly but many chose not to stand their ground. Many surrendered but still a few choose to challenge the might of the Hammer and Sickle. Shortly an amphbious landing took place near the city of Baku. Troops pour out of their transports as armoured vehicles fill the beach with tracks. Helicopters land in the country side, dropping their troops and firearms. The amount of Russian troops in Azerbaijan was phenomenal. The country is predicted to fall in days.

I've got to admit, it shows improvement if someone has to beg you for pictures these days. In anycase while I don't have much of a clue about whats going on, I've got to admit that given the lyrics and the description I think you've done pretty well without pictures.

OCC: Yeah.... this is the first time i got a demand for pics. Well... i changed my style but if people want pics, they'll get them... but not many.

A Journalist Diary of the fighting in Baku (Or rumours)

The Russians have decided to blow the crap out of Baku before invading. Rumors are grinding out of control, mostly generated, as far as I can tell, by journalists trying to come up with theories as to why the Russians haven't taken the city so far. The theories are the Russians are softening up the city before they send in their troops. Another theory is they are going to infiltrate at night with small commando groups and try and knock out the Azerbaijani fighters. Another theory is they'll send in more tanks in a better coordinated attack. I don't know which one is true, I guess we'll see in good time.

I have NEVER, EVER heard as much incoming shell fire as I heard today. It was coming in every five seconds or so. Heavy too. Not small arms. Big arms. Arms that you want to hug bears with. Grad rockets which come in forty round bursts, 150mm artillery rounds which are launched some 20 kms away, air-to-ground missiles launched from SU-27s. So what happens? I heard from people here the Russians have spread out their attack and are going after villages all over the province. It is only a couple of day until the fall of the Azerbaijani government.

END OF JOURNAL

Though Russian media claims there is no resistance, there is actually strong fighting in Baku and in other populated regions but since they are being pounded by Soviet weapons, there is no hope for the Azerbaijani army. The country side will fall shortly but soon Baku will be under the red flag. Generals in their war rooms already have champagne before the war is over. Vladimir Zhirinovsky is preparing to travel to the country himself. He booked his flight to Baku for next week, which he hopes is when the war is over.

President Zaitsev was monitoring this event and was quite happy. The Ratheian peoples were close to Russians, being of Slavic descent.

NEWS HEADLINE: RUSSIANS STORM BAKU!

The sky is full of smoke from burning rubble in the city of Baku. Once the shelling has stopped, there was a silence for a short while but the inhabitants could hear
tanks moving around the city. Heavy fighting is reported as columns of Russian
tanks and heavy armor try to push into Baku from several different directions.Thousands of soldiers and members of a pro-Russian
Azerbaijani militia are in the vanguard of the thrust into the embattled capital.
Despite this, some Russian field commanders claim the
Russian flag will be flying over Baku within days.

Meanwhile a senior Russian Cabinet minister met with a
Azerbaijani official in a russian controlled town to discuss the
fate of about 40-thousand civilians said to be trapped
inside the city.

In other news, Most of Azerbaijan has fallen to the Red Army. However it is believed that many civilians are fleeing out of the country. Little do they realise that Russian Forces wishes to better their lives.

Come now RF. We all know that you love putting in your pics don't try and fool us and oh yeah. START goin on msn again!!!

Hogsweat Puppet: Yeah, get your arse on msn!

By the way, nice job. I think your rep will vastly improve if you keep on like this. Great work ; )

With news of the fall of Azerbaijan, the Shah was pacing through the Palace of Persepolis in a clear state of worry. There was now no barrier between Parthian Iran and the massive forces of Russia.

A puppet? Where the hell did this come from?

We assure you that this revolution will harm no other nation. As far as you all should be concerned, this is a internal affair.

Yerevan

Ernesto Sanchez and his grand chairs sat in stunned silence as the news of the Russian annexation of Azerbaijan came filtering through. Sanchez spoke, a note of concern layering his voice.
'This is somewhat unexpected of our Russian nieghbours. We were neither informed nor prepared. See to it that the security agencys have many ground sources on the ground in both Russia and Azerbaijan.'
Aides scurried around, noting the Premiers wishes. The Marshall in Chief spoke up, his voice hot with indignation.
'This is nothing more than betrayal by our so called allies. Azerbaijan is on the verge of becoming a Russian vassal state, despite the fact that we have always professed our aim of Trans-Caucassian unity or independance.'
Sanchez deliberated, stroking his long thin beard as he stared hopelessly around the room. This had been the very last thing that he wanted to happen.
'Tell the waiting media that we are still formulating a responce. In the meantime, I will draft a telegram to the relevant Russian Forces command.'

For the attention of: The proper Russian Authority
From: The People's Premier Ernesto Sanchez of Momanguise
Subject: Azerbaijan
Security: Watertight

Sir, it has come to our attention that you have invaded and, according to our estimates, preparing to completely subjagate that country. It was thanks to our actions that you have taken ownership of South Ossetia, and our stated aim has long been either unity for the peoples of trans-caucassia or independance. You must grant the people of Azerbaijan indepandce following these actions. If you do not, then our reaction remains to decided but may be damaging to both our nations.

Yours,

Ernesto Sanchez

Secret IC:

Whilst the double bluff was taking place in Yerevan, the Momanguise army was preparing for action. Of course they had been prepared for this, no massive invading army can hide itself in this day and age from the big brother systems of intelligance. This betrayal by Russian Forces had not been taken lightly, and though war with Russian Forces was out of the question this action would not go unavenged. Twenty thousand of the finest soldiers available had been briefed in advance, and the counter invasion of Azerbaijan was now taking place.

The crossing of the border presented no clear difficulty, as the horde of Armenian and Georgian forces spilled across the most sacred of geo political constructs, that line in the sand that dived peoples and cultures from integration and equality. The plan was somewhat risky, to advance until they reached the Russian front line, then declare the occupied territory the Azerbaijani Free State, a democratic state under true Azerbaijani democracy. If all of Azerbaijan could not be saved, then some would. The Russian cry of 'For the People!' was about to be showed up as false as it really was.

This is an outrage! Zhirinovsky will not be pleased with momanguises actions! Azerbaijan is a province which is part of the new USSR. A United caucases is a false dream but a new and united USSR is a socialist paradise that is only a step away. Azerbaijani people will see this as a great event in the future because no longer are they taken advantage of capitalist markets. No longer is their oil part of International companies. The Oil is for the people. Socialism is our destiny!

In response to these actions, another 200,000 troops of the red guard in placed in Azerbaijan. This makes the number of troops in the country as a total of 450,000. Also the Black Sea and Caspian sea fleets are on alert. We will not engage Momanguise forces in the mean time but if they cross into Soviet held lands then they shall be eliminated.

Update

Baku has nearly fallen as tanks roll into the streets. Ground resistance is light due to the bombardments and Baku central will be under RF control shortly. The leader of azerbaijan Geidar Aliev, is supposed to be taken alive and put into trial for crimes against his people by supporting Islamic terrorism and Oppressing his people.

'The Russian responce is not unexpected. However, to our advantage, they have uttered a Fruedian slip and exposed their true intentions. Oil, gentlemen. This is the aim of the Stalinist government in Moscow, oil.'

There was an immediate flory of questions as the house of representatives erupted into unholy discourse of interceptions. A Georgian representative yelled above the babble and the houses cacophony subsided as he spoke.

'And if it comes to war? What then?'

There was an immediate cheer from the right hand side of the House which was countered by a great jeer from the left. Sanchez paused, waiting for the House to remember it's place.

'We estimate that the Russians dare not risk such a war. We could fight them into a bloody standoff in the Caucauss mountains, and after Afghanistan they will be unwilling to engage in such a quagmire. No, this will not come to war.'

Whilst the debate raged in the democratic heart of Momanguise, the army was enjoying remarkable success. The Azerbaijani army rapidly melted away, the slogan 'Rather our neighbours than the Russians!' being leafletted amongst such troops. In fact, these surrenderd soldiers were equipped with better weapons and sent back onto the front line, Azeries were more likely to negociate with their kin than with Armenians. The Azerbaijan Free State was declared, with the capital at Yevlax. Many civilians realised that they faced servitude under the Russians, and democracy under Momanguise. It was a stark choice, but an easy one to make. Cheering crowds greeting the five tank and motorised infantry divisions that entered Laki at mid afternoon, the limit of Momanguise expansion.

Accross the border, advancing Russian infantry could be seen. The Momanguise forces prepared for a battle, but were assured they would not be targeted. Nevertheless, reinforcements from Georgia and Armenia flooded the country, reinforcing the elite but small force that had stormed western Azerbaijan.

In the north, the border with Russia was closed. Even more soldiers stood gaurd, whilst a few meters away Russian conscripts kept a lonely vigil.

To: Russian Forces
From: HMD:RO
Code: CRIMSON

Comrades, our satellites have detected a Momanguisian presence in the area. They have established a "Azerbaijan Free State" based in Yevlax. A pre-emptive strike is neccessary comrade, neccessary, to the well being of the Azerbaijani people. We are requesting permission to land forces in Azerbaijan and erect our own bases alongside yours to combat Momanguisian Imperialism.

The lone Tu-160 locked in its flight path - Free Azerbaijani State, Yevlax. It cruised over, opening its bomb bays and dropping millions of packed leaflets. They read,

PEOPLE OF AZERBAIJAN
Your people are opressed by the Momanguisians! Only across the border comrades, do your brothers and sisters live in true Socialist paradise. The Momanguisians are tricking you - their intents are not the people of Azerbaijan but the vast oil reserves located in your nation. Luckily the Russians arrived in time to halt Momanguisian Imperialism! The Momanguisians will not be thrown off by democracy comrades, the only way is revolution! Rise up and the Russians and Hogsweatians will storm to your aid. For the people!
FOR AZERBAIJAN!

The Tu 160 flew off, its mission accomplished.


[OOC-Theres still time to shoot it down. Better not though]

The plane was allowed to pass, what leaflets which could be found were burnt. Meanwhile, trucks and jeeps with mounted speakers spoke against these blatant lies.

People of Azerbaijan! You have been told that we are here to conquer you, that we are here to deny you your freedoms, to remove your cultral identity! THIS IS A LIE! In 1991 you got democracy. For the first time, you were ruled by yourselves, Azeri's for Azeri's. Now, your brothers in the east have been brutally anexxed by the Russians again, whilst we, your cousins, ensure that you have those freedoms! You have your democracy! See these lies for what they really are!

Comrades of Hogsweat we see that another comrade wishes to spread the revolution as it should. Azerbaijan is meant to be socialist. They can not even rule themselves! After the fall of the USSR, Azerbaijan has turned into a weak, economically strained nation which is being victim to capitalist nations all over the world. Azerbaijan is being given salvation. Their people should realise that once this revolution is over, they will be living better lives with free education, clothes and food. They'll live the dream of the people. Oil is not a matter of concern because we can get by with our own oil disposits. If we live... what will happen to the azerbaijani people? They'll be subjucated by Momanguise!

You have clearly not followed RF history comrade. We are the hammer of the people for a reason.

Meanwhile

Russian guards stare at the momanguisians and are removing all of the citizens of South Ossetia to a safer place. The Congress of Soviets agreed that war shall come if a single russian was shot at by Momanguise forces. At this moment, Russian troops in Azerbaijan stop their advance as they meet the momanguise forces. It is peaceful but a scary peace. Soldiers watch into each others eyes as if already they are enemies. The Azerbaijani Military is claimed to be totally destroyed but civilian resistance still is a threat. The Russian army is planning to create their own militia called the "Red proletariat army"(RPA). These men will die for the communist cause.

This liberation of Azerbaijan couldn't have come on a more appropriate moment. The Caucasus has always been a region of struggle and war and we believe Russian Forces has done the world a favour by liberating the embattered lands. We must say Momanguise is being a burden in this unstable region and he better not oppose Russian Forces anymore, the results might be very undesirable for him.

SECRET IC: If we are allowed to exploit some of the many oil wells we are happy to support you in your endeavors and your military campaigns through logistical means.

Franck Gerlach,
Führer of National Socialist Guffingford

This instability that you talk of has only been exacebated by the actions of Russian Forces. We know that throught these actions, muslims everywhere have been alienated.

We want nothing but peace. Therefore, we will be holding a conferance will be held to discuss this. Please make it known if you wish to attend.

bumpo

Secret IC:

To Russian Forces:

Would you be willing to strike a trade deal? I can sell you the oil of Iran, computers, or automobiles, or pretty much any product at a low price in return for a non-agression pact.

As a kind act, i do not wish for nothing for a Non-Aggression pact. We should have peace whenever it is possible. Thankyou for the kind offer comrade.

BAKU HAS FALLEN!

The Red Army has entered the centre of the city where the main political building (Milli Mejlis) is. Soviet spetsnaz from Mi-17's quickly climbed down their ropes on the top of the building. When the main ground forces were at its gates,
explosions and screams were heard. A Guard of the Milli Mejlis was seen flying out of a window. Machine gun fire was the only thing that can be heard but in 5 minutes, the fighting stopped. The Doors opened and all of the political leaders marched out of the building with their hands on their heads, escorted by the spetsnaz. President Murtuz Aleskerov was among them. His face was covered in blood from broken glass. They were then told to line up as Russian soldiers stood in a line as well, facing the azerbaijani politicians. An officer in a tidy khaki uniform appears as if he is ready to give an order. The Officer yelled "READY ARMS" in his Russian language. All of the soldiers raised their AK-103's and pointed at the azerbaijani's. One tried to run away but the officer immediatly pulled out his pistol and shot him in the head. The rest of the politicians were crying or saying their last words to god. The officer resumes the execution and immediatly screams "FIRE"! All of the politicians were cut to ribbons. The officer walks up to the pile of bodies and checks their pulses. If any are alive, he places a bullet in between their eyes without any remorse.

Excellent! Azerbaijan is a liberated peoples state. We applaud your actions!


So can I have the bases?

Meanwhile, in Yevlax, a Popular Front government has been assembled. It has reiterated the call for talks with all affected parties, including Russian Forces and any other nation that feels involved.

Very well comrade! The bases will be in your hands!

Here is the map of Azerbaijan now

ooc: Will Russian Forces attend MSN? :)

Here is the map of Azerbaijan now

Also, this is not the final map. The Free State has no claims to the border with Iran. Also, it wishes to leaves 90% of the oil producing east in russian hands.

It was dark when the first AN-24's hit the runway of Mingacevir, soldiers spilling out like ants from an anthill. They proceeded just out of the city, where tents and a command bunker were established. Logistics officers ran around like headless chickens, attempting to establish some sort of working order.
Stationed in Mingacevir: 30th Political Division, 33rd GAO Rifle Division

The Tu 160's swooped in, their escorts waiting a while before proceeding to the next airbase. The two squadrons of 555 Death from above regiment [18 aircraft] stationed themselves at Sumqayrt, awaiting the 32nd Political Division to come and requisition the airbase officially.

666 Regiment, Flying Devils [45 MiG 29's] landed at Ali Bayramli and officially commissioned the airport there until an airfield could be constructed.

The 34th GAO Rifle Division established a base near the border and held their position.

Armour units will be en route in the following days.

The Mora Tauan Soviet Socialist Republic, after five days of intense debate in the Soviets on all levels, expresses its disgust and revulsion at this blatant act of Russian imperialism and the ruthless massacre of the elected represenatives of the Azer people. It has been decided in a joint session of the Supreme Soviet of the MTSSR, the Council of Trade Unions and the Supeme Soviet of the Civic Militia that Mora Tau shall intevene on the side of peace and freedom. The MTSSR is thus sending 10 000 paratroops to the Free Azerbaijani State to join with the Momanguise military in the defense of the Azer people. Lenin himself stated that revolution can never be imposed. Mora Tau applauds the actions of the truely socialist nation of Momanguise and awaits their permission to land in the FAS. The red flag shall one day fly over the city of Baku, but it shall not be a Russian one.

On behalf of the Mora Tauan Soviet Socialist Republic,
Christina Janke

Long live the solidarity of working peoples everywhere!
Down with Stalinism!
Down with Imperialism!
Down with Russia's oil war!

Because of the misguided fools in Mora Tau's defense ministry, the Peoples Socialist Republic has seen it fit to deploy the following into active service in East Azerbaijan.

60th Armoured
61st Motorised Rifles^
62nd Armoured
63rdth Motorised Rifles^
----5,000 Tanks, 4,000 ACPS, 28,000 Infantry

They will be transported by a huge fleet of C-5 Galaxies and AN-24 Cokes to Sumqaryt.

A pity that your men will be returning home in boxes. Sadly you even stand against your brothers. As far as you should be concerned, This is a russian internal affair. I demand that you bring your troops back for their own sake.

The Red Proletariat Army (RPA) which is made up of azerbaijani loyalists to the Russian system have been dispatched into Southern Azerbaijan. These troops shall use guerilla tactics against the momanguisians and get the masses to join the RF cause. These men wear balaclava's with red head bands and camoflague. Right now they slip into the mountains thanks to their knowledge of the land.

Mora Tau: Thank you for your support, but negotiations are ongoing. Whilst we hope that this will not come to war, I will bear your gesture of support in mind.

Also, here is my proposed compromise state.

Mora Tau, this will be your undoing. Your last warning :
DO NOT SUPPORT THE AZERBAIJANI FASCISTS

An official declaration was made today by Comrade Electorate Josef Dorsal.
"Comrades, the situation in Azerbaijan is worsening. Our allies the Russians have strengthened their military capacity as the foolish Mora Tauans deploy troops to aid Momanguise. The only way to resolve this matter is through strength - we must show the Momanguisians and the Mora Tauans that we will not stand for their fascist occupation of the people of Azerbaijan. They are halting the glorious liberation forces comrades. Earlier this morning, the House of Proletariat voted 253-47 for more troops to be sent in to Azerbaijan. We are currently awaiting a Russian response to deploy another 100,000 fighting soldiers to Azerbaijan. Thank you"
There was much clapping as the loved Josef Dorsal stepped off the podium, the Internationale playing behind him.

News Announcement, The Crisis is Over!

Concerted diplomacy has reached a succesful comprimise. The Free State's soverenty has been assured, a non-agression pact has been signed between the three states of Momanguise, The Free State of Azerbaijan and Russian Forces. In addition, the borders of all three have been secured, and this can be viewed here (http://www.smurof.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=264).

Thank you all who have pledged support, thankfully war has not been required. However, you gestures will remain close to my heart forever.

We, The russian government accept the proposal to stop our nations from going into a collision course. We believe in this deal our two nations have made. As we have agreed, the black sea navy will return to its shores but the russian troops will stay until things settle down more.

We all inhabit this small planet.
We all breathe the same air.
We all cherish our children's
future. And we are all mortal.

The Mora Tauan SSR is not quite so forgiving, however. We are keeping our 10 000 troops of the 3rd Women's Paratroop, 6 000 troops of the 8th Infantry Div. and 900 tanks of the 14th Cavalry stationed in the Free State until we are quite sure that this blatant act of Russian imperialism is over. We also demand that the Russians hold elections immediately in the Azerbaijani SSR so that the Azer people can decide for themselves whether they shall remain under Russian domination.

We remind the Russians of the Soviet National Anthem, which has been adopted by all Soviet republics, Russian-affiliated or not.

Unbreakable union of *freeborn* republics
Great Lenin has welded forever to stand (this is how the lines run in the Soviet Union region)
United in struggle by *the will of the people*
United and mighty our *Soviet* land.

Not dominated land, Soviet land. And must we remind our Russian friends that in Russian, Soviet means 'council'? Give the power back to the people!!

Comrade Christina

Who said that Soviet Lands were not dominated before hand? it was more like liberated in the first place instead of living in poverty and controlled by capitalists.

Though democracy throughout Azerbaijan is a noble goal, we simply lack the manpower to enforce such a demand. Therefore, Mora, as a trusted friend, let us not exacabate the situation.
