First Images of Moscow Released in Twenty-five Years

Moscow, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics]

Over the past twenty-five years, the international community has been denied the opportunity to see within the city wall of Moscow - capital of the U.S.S.R. At the end of this year, the Political Bureau has decided to release the first images taken after the systematization programme has began. We hope that over the next hour, you all will enjoy the first glimpses behind the Iron Curtain since the end of the Cold War.

The Systematization Program

At the end of the Cold War between the Eastern and Western Blocs, the Federative Central Government of the U.S.S.R. began a program of systematization. It was first employed in Romania as a way to modernize the country but failed; however, it has not failed within the Soviet Union.

The key goals of the Systematization Program is the destroy all remnants of the pre-socialist era in order to remove all things considered to be hierarchal, inherently capitalist or imperialist, and anti-communist nostalgia. In Moscow (the centre of the program) this is being completed by the use of systematization walls.

Systematization walls are mobile destruction units placed inside a city wished to be destroyed and rebuilt. Each day they move and destroy buildings, statues, etc. of the previous era and leave it behind so that collection units may find it and use it as an alternate fuel source. The walls are fueled by massive internal combustion engines; the drawback is, this causes a thick haze at times to blanket Moscow - usually in the late evening hours.

The Kremlin

Due to the Systematization Program, the Federative Central Government has been forced to move out of and back into a new Kremlin. As seen in the image, the Kremlin is a massive, hundreds of stories tall government building housing every Commissariat, Praetorian (Premier) living quarters, the Political Bureau, and other government groups. The only four things not housed within the Kremlin are the KGB headquarters, GRU headquarters, Supreme Court Juridical Complex. and Supreme Soviet Legislative Complex (they are housed in the “out-skirts” of Moscow. Consult with image).

Due to the effectively centralized government housings, the Kremlin is heavily guarded at all times by Red Army personnel, Red Air Brigade forces, and Militsiya. Within the compound are numerous KGB guards whom are suspected to be heavily armed. Also, the entire city is under restricted airspace. Any non-government aircraft that enters the city is immediately destroyed without further question.

”New City”

“New City”, as it is known, is the second stage of completed systematization. It houses mainly administrative buildings, government offices, ambassadorial complexes, etc. Some housing does reside within “New City”; however, they are sparse and on the out-skirts.

“New City” is one of the most clean and crime-free areas on earth. It is considered to be prime real-estate and heavily sought after by wealthy, non-Soviets. All of “New City” is located near the Federative Central Government complexes - this is not by coincidence. Due to the necessity of government officials to be near work at all times, the only housing areas within “New City” are for government officials.

On the inner-outskirts of “New City” is the second systematization wall (the first being located around the Kremlin). It constantly moves inward, toward “Old City” (see below) in order to systematize what remains of Moscow. It is part of a two-prong systematization project that is labeled Stage Three.

”Old City”

“Old City” is the only un-systematized area of Moscow. It remains a buffer zone between the Kremlin and “New City”. Currently, “Old City” is the final phase in the Moscovite Systemization Programme that will allow it to move to the rest of the Soviet Union. It is the hope of the Political Bureau that this program will be successful and a great victory for the U.S.S.R.

“Old City” is filled mostly with un-relocated (to Grey Sector; see below) public housing families as well as the empty, former government buildings (KGB headquarters being one). Due to their proximity to the Kremlin and the massive array of government buildings, “Old City” had to be Phase Three so that records and the like could be relocated.

Crime is a mild problem in “Old City”, but not a major crisis. “Old City’s” only major difficulty is hooliganism committed by adolescent men. Several arrests have been made in-part to vandalism and suspicious activity. Yet, “Old City” is still a safe place to reside in until systematization is complete.

Grey Sector

The Grey Sector is entirely industrial complexes and public housing. It is - by far - the largest sector within Moscow, consuming nearly sixty percent of the total area. Militsiya forces heavily patrol this area as it has the highest (yet low compared to the rest of the world) crime rate in Moscow. With the development of new modes of transportation (electro-magnetically floating aircraft, all-terrain walkers, etc.) the Grey Sector has been the main testing area.

Grey Sector was Phase One (including the Kremlin) of the Systematization Program. It has been a success for the Soviet people and their country. With the implement of quickly built public housing and night-day (twenty-four hour) labor units (large groups of workers who alternate between day and night shifts), Grey Sector has developed far beyond the imagination of the Soviet people.

In Conclusion

As of now, the Systematization Program has been a resounding success for the Soviet Union and socialist countries around the world. It has been proof that Marxist land-theory is both reasonable and practical. It has allowed for more freedom of the people.

We leave you this evening with several more images of the highly advanced Moscow and thank you for tuning in to Soviet Broadcasting Syndicate Global and International. This has been Natalya Nemcova. Good night and good luck.

(OOC: Basicly this is my entrance into a mixture of modern tech and post-modern tech while remaining in the same year. My thread about "burning oil-fields, and Juche" was my exit from strictly MT.

I posted this for in order to recieve the normal feedback from nations ("I'm appauled, "I applaud", etc.) and basicly as a small introduction roleplay.)

(OOC: Bump due to last night's technical difficulties.)

{OOC: A definite tag. Awesome stuff.}

(OOC: You need to respon ICly, damnit! Lol.)

The Tocrowkian Reich finds the Soviet view of a "superior" Moscow disgusting. Why you would desecrate such fine examples of architecture, as the Kremlin and turn it into a bastardized, cyberpunk shadow of it's former self is a great mystery to us. Surely, there would have been other, less extreme options in removing the unwanted material from Moscow.

This is why we often question the sanity of the world's regimes. Especially those of Communists.


-Reich Foreign Ministry-

"Ha! These pics are obviously fake. All the communist nations we've seen have been nothing but rat-infested slums, mass graveyards, and pools of blood, festering with disease, crime, and corruption. These pics, though, appear to be of a First World nation. We certainly won't stoop so low as to let ourselves be fooled by this demon propaganda."

--Minister of Foreign Affairs Chong Moua--

Commissariat of Foreign Affairs

In times such as now, when nations around the world are on the brink of transcendence and the destruction of the pre-socialist, capitalist society one must understand that even the very way we live must be changed. Total and radical, revolutionary change from housing to flight must be changed.

Moscow is now going to become one of the finest examples of systematization in the world. Showing the international community that in a scientific, materialist society, progress is the flagship. With the systematization of the U.S.S.R. - and eventually the world - the division of labour will be transcended, revolutionary consciousness will run rampant, and the very prophetic things socialist philosophers described in the 19th Century will occur.

The people of the Soviet Union often question the true goals of the Reich (as well as the rest of the so-called equal, progressive states) and wonder whether they are simply a facade for fascism. I hope that the people of Tocrowkia would realize that their rulers are oppressive and counter-productive. They serve no purpose in society, and thus should not be allowed to exist in society.

Perhaps the Roach-Busterian Minister, Chong Moua, would like to keep his countries propaganda to a lower degree considering their own past with mass graves and genocide in so called "homelands" reminiscent of apartheid South Africa.

Perhaps the Foreign Minister needs to understand Marxist political-economic philosophy in order to understand the completely real images. I would invite the Minister to the U.S.S.R. but the nation of Roach-Busters is on Relations Level Negative Two (RL-2: all travel into the U.S.S.R. is banned). Thus, I must simply dismiss the military junta's propaganda for what it is: lies.

President Villian had a message broadcasted to Fascist Confederacy;

We laugh at your nation. You leftists can never resist such propoganda, making your self sound all good and mighty. But in reality, your people are sick and poor, your dictators fat and rich, and your political system corrupt and evil! Nations such as you make me sick! Nations such as you much be brought down before more nations governments come down with this disease!

"Why would I want to visit the U.S.S.R.? I'd rather eat dog shit."

We are sorry to hear such lies from what was once considered a truely progressive country. The reactionaries have unfortunately seized power in the unwanting nation of ViZion. I truely do feel for the Vizion people. Yet, such slander from Mr. Villian is unfounded and nothing but slander.

Perhaps the President (who's name alone is suspicious) would like to turn his critical eye on his own regime. The regime that allows torture - as publicly announced on a popular ViZion news network - is critical of a nation attempting to please there people? Quite hypocritical. Yet, we are not harmed by slander, and kindly dismiss the ViZion envoy.

Also, Chong, that is appearently a normal thing for everyone except the Demagogue J.L. himself.

EDIT: Oh, ya, and no, this isn't because Villian's going to attack... at least, that's not the plans as of right now... that's OOC info of course...

(OOC: Why, someone planning on invading me? XD Sorry if you were, I wouldn't respond due to the start of a new term with Tuesday. I'm probably going to be too busy with school to post too much more for awhile. But, if you're just interested, you can click the link in my signature for info.

Must a Roach-Busterian elite resort to such vulgarities? Is the public education in the Roach-Busterian Empire set at such a low standard, that an inernational relations Minister must resort to vexing another envoy? Appearently so.

While we are not pleased with "spy satellites", in this case we have allowed such inquiry without severe punishment due to the belief that these images are propaganda. Disbelievers, I am sure Red Tide would be more than pleased to produce satellite images of Moscow.

Moua, according to your own information, your Roach-Busterian Pest Companies removed all cockroaches and insect pests from the earth; yet you call us cockroaches. Appearently your pest companies aren't as successful as your propaganda proclaims.

Well then, appearently your own brainwashing works too well. According to defectors - as we call them - the Pest Company proclaims global pest extinction. I believe it is my fault for believing the word of any Roach-Busterian. Excuse my mistake.

To the Red Tide envoy, satellite travel isn't prohibitted, but the taking of images is. Normally, the Federative Central Government might engage an image taking nation for espionage; but due to the current political climate, this incident has been overlooked.

The Reich is hardly counter-productive. Our current, benevolent and just administration have jump-started the Tocrowkian economy, funded education and public health to previously unheard of levels, and has built it self a fearsome military machine.

Our people live clean, safe, happy and healthy lives. They love the Government, and it loves them. We do not murder our populace in droves for fabricated crimes. Our leaders do not stay up at night, writing down long lists of names of people to be killed on fallacious charges. We do not haul millions out into fields, give them five-minute mock-trials, and then shoot them. We do not export all of our food for selfish economic betterment, and leave millions to starve.

Can the Soviet Union say the same of it's past?

We think not.

"You are further confusing us, since space is international... well... space, taking photographs from space is perfectly legal. I mean, the USA did it to your country during the Cold War, and we ourselves have been doing it to you for quite some time... as, I am sure, have other nations at one time or another."

In response to the Reich's Foreign Ministry: can Tocrowkia say the same of its past? We know not.

To the Red Tidan envoy, space is international as we understand; however, taking images that can be used to undermine our populace's freedom is not. I truely doubt the Soviet population enjoy Red Tidan satellites spying on their lives. The Politburo asks that you cease the recording of our nation. This law was created after the fall of the United States.

(OOC Edit: RT, if you were thinking to find anything, 90 percent of anything relatively important is underground or in bunkers or hangers. Not to mention, the USSR doesn't honestly care if your satellites take images. Humor the Politburo and say you will. XD)

"We dont spy on your people, that would be stretching our resources to thin... just on things that interest and inspire curiosity in us... such as military formations, missile sites, recent city wide construction programs are key points too, etc. etc. We do not harbor any harsh feelings towards you. Despite our ideological differences we respect you as a fellow nation in this community... just... its not spying when the photographs are being taken from international territory."
End Message

OOC:Uhh... you do realize there are sattelites capable of detecting bunkers? I am not sure how this works... but I believe it involves bouncing radar waves off the ground and searching for irregularities.
