Ivan Alexandrovich Serov (born 13 August 1905) is a politician and potential leader of Komi, as well as a Russian unifier. Serov served in the NKVD before the second world war, and became part of the Passionariyy Organization as an independent politician. He espouses the ideals of Ordosocialism, which combines Soviet socioeconomic doctrine with extreme Russian ethnonationalism, treating the bourgeoise, ethnic minorities and political dissidents with extreme prejudice. If he unifies Russia, he will lead it as the Russian National Soviet Republic, a totalitarian ultranationalist state with a completely centrally planned economy.
In-Game Description[edit | edit source]
Ivan Alexandrovich Serov is a man to which the term 'former' has often - and correctly - been applied. Former friend and political ally of Mikhail Suslov. Former supporter of orthodox Marxism-Leninism. And, now, former political contender. For having established firm control over the state as a whole, he is now in a position to determine its future.
That future is his own vision of the political philosophy of so-called 'Ordosocialism' - an eclectic mixture of far-left socialism and far-right nationalism, and one where Russian exceptionalism, in many fields and areas, is strongly emphasized. Although considered an inherent oxymoron by many, Serov is firmly committed, as least ostensibly, to ensuring its representation within the policies of the state.
Though none can say with certainty what the positions he intends to take will be, it can be reasonably expected that, under the tenets of Ordosocialism, they will include the formation of a strong authoritarian state, a dramatic increase in military expenditures, a rise in revanchist propaganda, and aggressive approaches to territorial expansion.
