West Russian Revolutionary Front: Difference between revisions

The Great Patriotic War against the fascist invaderinvaders cost the Soviet people everything, and then some. The Nazis employed unimaginable cruelty in a crusade against Soviet civilization itself, to the extent where no single man or woman couldn't name someone close to them who had been cruelly torn from them by the hands of the Hitlerites.

In the muddled anarchy after the collapse of central government authority, the remnants of the Red Army in the west reorganised in the city of Kuybyshev under the leadership of Grand MarshallMarshal Alexander Yegorov. Across the former territory of the Soviet Union, loyal Red Army units flocked to his banner, including the Sixth and Ninth Armies under Marshals [[Mikhail Tukhachevsky|Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky]] and [[Georgy Zhukov|Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov]], respectively. With these powerful mechanized forces and an alliance with prominent political figures, the newly formed West Russian Revolutionary front was able to exert authority over all of the shattered remanntsremnants of the Union which remained west of the Urals.

In the late 1950's, with the [[Greater Germanic Reich|Reich]] paralysed by the deadliest economic crash in history, and the Red Army only becoming more eager to avenge their defeat, Frand Marshal Yegorov had decided that the time had come to launch [[West Russian War|Operation Suvorov]], the liberation of all Soviet lands currently occupied by German forces. Despite [[Lazar Kaganovich]] refusing to commit the forces of the [[West Siberian People's Republic]] to the operation, the Red Army's advance was swift and brutal. Stalingrad was liberated on day 28 of the operation, prompting an attempted coup by the [[Schutzstaffel|SS]] under [[Heinrich Himmler]]. Spurred by the infighting within the enemy's ranks, Red Army troops reached the outskirts of Leningrad and Moscow by day 40.

Riding high on this wave of success, few had noticed the cracks that had formed within the Front's political structure over the years. The exact cause of the disintegration of the Front during the West Russian War remains unknown, with theories ranging from an attempted seizure of power by [[Mikhail Suslov|Suslov]] to the breakdown of the critically overextended command structure. Facing threats to the security of the military leadership in the face of a renewed German offensive employing the collaborationist forces of the [[Russian Liberation Army]] and [[Vladimir Romanov]], the government was relocated to the city of Syktyvkar. Following the political turmoil, and the string of defeats at the hands of the enemy, the [[Komi|Republic of Komi]] seceded from the Front, and the subsequent string of defections and secessions marked the end of the West Russian War and the death of the West Russian Revolutionary Front.

Zhukov is a popular commander who received fame and admiration amongst his men from the Civil War to Operation Suvorov, leading the liberation of Stalingrad together with Marshal [[Bauyrzhan Momyshuly|Momyshuly]]. While Zhukov is fiercely loyal to the communist cause, his clique has attracted the attention of some reform-minded figures such as [[Alexander Yakovlev]] and [[Nikolay Ryzhkov]], along with many of the hardlinerhardliners unaffiliated with Tukhachevsky's faction such as [[Sergey Akhromeyev]].
