Politics in Modern Russia
After the collapse of the socialist regime after World War Three, the LTA forces installed a provisional Russian government headed by Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov who had the unique distinction of being the legitimate heir to the Russian Imperial Throne and a major force in the exiled Russian community. Once order had been established in Russia, a new constitution was ratified by the provisional government that, which after heavy-handed political maneuvering by Alexei, saw the establishment of a Republic government with a strong executive branch. While several political parties remain banned in Russia, for the most part the country remains politically free and voter turnout high. While socialism remains a powerful force in Russia, the centralist party, United Russia dominates current political life in Russia.[/QUOTE]

Map of Russia (http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/commonwealth/russia.94.jpg)

Russia's defense has been divided into three sectors. Western Homeland Command covers an area stretching approximately from Moscow to the western borders (of Poland, the SU, and Belarus), Central Homeland command is approximately from Moscow to the Urals, and Eastern Homeland Comand is from the Urals to the Pacific.

Units moved during the Siberian Crisis have been returned to home bases.

Russian Foreign Relations

Since WWIII, Russia's role in world affairs has been subdued. While in a defense pact with the USA, Russia has not been a part of any of the multitude of global alliances emerging post-war. Once one of the world's largest arms exporters, the market for Russian arms is now much quieter. Even in the United Nations Russia has been fairly quiet. Belarus, one of the members of the Union that did not leave after the war, is on its way to separation, with independence arriving in a few years. There are groups that want independence for Caucasia and Siberia, and these matters are the subject of a heated debate.

I agree.

Military updated, economy to be posted shortly

The Military announced massive expansions to the Army and Air Force Reserve forces this year, better enabling the country to respond to any attack. Reserve Air Force units are primarily light ground attack planes, for countering invading land forces, while the majority of army units will be flak and garrison troops. In addition, each Homeland Comman is recieving a secondary Command Group to support them.

Egypt has accepted Russia's offer but offers to pay a full point per oil point. We were already paying 1.5 points per oil from the Federation (greedy bastards) and would feel as if we are cheating you after your extended hospitality. We are ordering only two oil points, as hydroelectric and nuclear power supports a large portion of our industry and we already have an imported oil reserve. Once again, we thank you for your assistance in these times of trouble.

(OOC: Meant to do this a while ago, Alexei has been ruling for 20 years or so)

Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov, Russia's long-standing Prime Minister, has announced he will be retiring in 1964. Svetoslav Roerich, Prime Minister of the Cabinet, has sought the role. However, Benedikt Subbotin, a young member of United Russia, is currently leading in polls. Subbotin, who fled to Europe with his family at a young age, studied classics in England before returning to Russia at the end of the Third Great War. While some criticize him for leaving Russia, others recognize the immense contributions he has made to the education system, helping restructure it. He would be the first Prime Minister, and one of the few high ranking government officials, to be educated in a free society. Only the youngest Russian adults can say the same.

Roerich has stated that Russia needs to maintain Alexei's course, which is countered by Subbotin's statements that the time for rebuilding is over, and that Russia must now take a more active role in establishing itself as a great country again. The Siberian crisis, Subbotin claims, illustrates how far Russia has fallen, as has the failure to reintegrate St. Petersburg. Roerich believes a more moderate course is the safest option, to prevent another terrible war.

the Hellenic Empire is seeking a formal military alliance with Russia, and is requesting sizeable military aid for next year.

Belarus is getting 40 points this year and the new Caucasian states are getting 23.

Belarussian build to be posted soon. Figure Caucasian groups use it to help destandardize infrastructure from Russian status. All major infrastructure is being changed, largely being translated into native languages. Government buildings need to be renovated and expanded, and schools need to be adapted into local languages. In addition, independent security forces are established. In game terms this equals 3 Garrison Units and 5 Reserve Light Infantry divisions. Much of the equipment is Russian, though American and British manufacturers provide some material as well. Weapons imports from SCT and CSPS nations are denied.

The Duma votes to temporarily increase spending for 1964, fueling debate in the competition for Prime Minister. Subbotin supports the increase, saying the temporary economic harm is neccessary to provide for Russian defense, which has been substandard since the Third Great War. Roerich believes that too large an increase will only provoke actions from hostile powers.

The Duma, now located in Perm, discusses the state of the war, and the state of the nation and world. Pressure grows to fight the war to the finish with the Scandic Union, but a significant number of voices call for just the return of Petrograd and annexation of the Russian parts of Kazakhstan.

Continued Scandic ownership of Petrograd is renounced by nearly everyone in the Duma however, and the demand that the Scandic Union give up its nuclear armed missiles is a main demand as well.

Meanwhile, with nearly 2 million civilians dead because of the war, a sizeable element in the Duma wants nothing less then the total dissolution of the Scandic Union.

Threats by the FNS create a stirr as well, and sentiment is that the Latin Americans are a long way away (as far as their army is concerned) and their supply links run through Russian territory.

Indochinese military officials approach the Russian governemtn concerning the purchase of a Su-25 Close Air Support aircraft wing for use in the Democratic Republican Airforce.
Also of intrest is the Su-27 fighter currently under devlopment by Sukohoi. The Indochinese Airforce would be most intrested in purchasing these aircraft when they become available.

Russia in the Twilight Years
-1965: Duma and other government begins operating out of Perm. With nuclear power plants largely destroyed/damaged, conversion to natural gas begins. Hydroelectric plants are unable to cope with increase demand, and massive power shortages hamper reconstruction. Many damaged factories are scrapped to provide immediate employment. The government begins rebuilding and repairing factories. A hastily armed milita takes over most policing duties. Senior politicians are called to a constitutional convention, where the future of the Russian government will be decided.
-1966: Some government offices return to Moscow, blackouts become more infrequent as new power plants become available. The constitutional convention is forced to take a three month recess as debates heighten. Organized crime is on the rise, despite the best effort of the police forces. Jobless rates decrease, and national airline service is reinstated.
-1967: Russian shipping reaches pre-war levels in terms of tonnage, although with the return of St. Petersburg, greater emphasis on European trade is seen. Industry is at 85% of pre-war levels, although agriculture is lacking due to crop damage and radiation. The Army begins restoring itself, providing another source of jobs.
-1968:
-1969:
-1970:

OOC: I will be away for 2 weeks, so leave any messages for me in this thread. The constitutional convention will release its new structure in 1970 or when I return, whichever happens 2nd.

Russia is reminded that as a member of the EEC, it is, by default a member of the ESA and is welcome to share in the benefits (and donate!)

Assume the X-20 can be used by the ESA, as can Sverlodosk for now.

The Luftwaffe kindly asks Russia if it would move the buying date for the Su 27 up a year. With the current events, Germany feels that a fighter as powerful as the Su 27 is vital and waiting a year may have dire consequences.

To help with the decision, Germany offers production rights on the new MBT that is scheduled to come out in '73.

Nigeria uts in a pre-order for four Su-27 unit.

Germany and Nigeria, you orders are confirm( as of 1971, when I fully take over as of Russia)

Military plans and deployments for Russia (as of 1970)
replace remaining 4 T38 squadrons with Su27
replace T38 squadrons in reserve with Su22C squadrons
replace all Su22Cs in active service with Su27
add another 12 reserve pilots to man T38s (with eventual goal of replacing them with Su24s and Su25s)
provide fortifications for all airfields and army bases (to harden them from nuclear strike.. ooc units in hardened bases are only eliminated 50% of the time instead of 100% of the time)
add 5 reserve Be6 squadrons and 5 reserve pilots to Navy (1 each sea, 2 for pacific)
add 3rd generation SSNs, tech level 8 cruisers, destroyers and frigates to navy when available
if budget allows, form and equip several squadrons of Su24s for anti shipping mission for Pacific Fleet
NTC and Top Gun school planned for 1973, and more training money for elite units at that point

Other plans
Reserve units are in cities as indicated
50% of armored and mechanized infantry and all but 4 flak units and all 5 HQs made into reserve units (to cut costs and provide space for more active forces: this goes into effect in 1970)
remaining regular army to be in fortified bases as well as regular air force
convert all mechanized and armored divisions into corps as money is available

2 armored divisions, 2 mechanized divisions, and light infantry units and spetnatz will be in European Russia, remaining forces allocated in groups of 2 divisions, 2 flak brigades in Siberia, Maritime Russia and Kazakhstan

reserve units except garrison troops are in European Russia (1 division and 2 brigades per major city, with excess in Moscow and Petrograd, the biggest cities)

50% of fighters, including all Yak38s, and 1 AEW unit are in Siberia or Kazakhstan
Remaining fighter units are in European Russia, as are all bomber units, and transports and transport helicopters and all other air units.

The UIR as an ally of Russia (OOC: are you in the ToD? I think you got asked), and citing the conflict with fascist India and China, asks permission to buy large amounts of Su-27's in 1971.

OOC: I don't belive Russia took up that offer from ToD

IC: The Russian Government will allow the sell of Su-27s to UIR as of 1971, But we request to know the exact number of Su-27, you wish to buy.( In other words, you'll get them by 1972.)

I was not here when we were invited, though Russia would probably join.

Other events in Russia:

1968: The legislative captial is returned to St. Petersburg, with much celebration and fanfare. The judicial and executive branches remain in Moscow.

1970: Energy aid to China ends. Redistribution of troops means signifigant numbers of troops are in Asian Russia. While wary of growing Chinese power, no action has yet been taken. Constitutional convention reconvenes, proclaiming a constitution similar to that of the USA (and most successor states), with a President, Supreme Court, and two houses, one with equal distribution of seats by Oblast, one with proportional distribution by population. Regional councils, consisting of several Oblasts under central control, will follow a similar structure, with a governor, Regional court, and two houses.
