Tomsk was ravaged by the Shturmoviki like no other city in Russia. Its beauty was smashed to rubble, and the rubble pulverized to dust. Yet, life endures, and small green shoots rise from the ashes of that grand old city. Based in the districts of the city that have not been leveled, amongst the local elites entrusted with rebuilding Tomsk as an imperial city were hundreds of former Bastillards - dedicated civil servants who secretly did all that they could to resist the influence of Taboritsky's Empire. With the fall of the Empire, a new government has been declared, and a new Republic swept into power - led by Alexander Zinoviev, the new Chair of the restored Bastillard Association.
With the Academy of Sciences completely destroyed, the surviving Modernists try to restore the building by activating a power plant for it. Although several die during the effort, the Modernists eventually succeed with this small victory, giving a sliver of hope that Tomsk will endure in the wasteland. When Tomsk fell to the Holy Russian Empire, hundreds of former Bastillards continued secretly doing all that they could to resist the influence of the Mad Regent. After Taboritsky's death, New Tomsk was formed and the Salons were revived, albeit much reduced and with only a shadow of their former power. Despite the seeming failure of the Salons and the abject horrors of the H.R.E, the idealism of Tomsk, even in its shattered state, proves impossible to destroy.
Should the player reunify Russia as the New Tomsk through arcade cheats, it will be known as the Third Russian Republic, focusing on rebuilding Russia through democracy like the old Tomsk before.
