National History
Months after the Russian invasions of South Ossetia, a schism was brewing within the Spetznaz organization. About a fourth of them were still loyal to the old USSR, and not to this extravagant, democratic Russia. They were lead by Sergei Yurinov, the son of a KGB operative who taught him the gloriousness of the Soviet Union and the evils of the West and of Capitalism. He detailed how they needed not to invade other countries but to reclaim their own, and this would no happen without action, and only they could achieve this through revolution. Yurinov made many speeches in Moscow for around six months until the other faction inside the Spetznaz organization reported him to the police, and he was jailed for 2 months. During this time, he was torture by the leader of the opposition in the Spetznaz, Leon Breshkovsky. He decided to write a book, detailing his ideas of a new Russia. The memoir was titled “The Bear’s Teeth”, and it described Yurinov’s vision of the rebirth of the USSR and the “Three Stage System”. Yurinov also wrote how he was appalled with the citizens who allowed Russia to join the West, and how they should be ashamed but “taken care of”. Also in this book, Sergei blamed the Afghani’s and Muslims as the unknown usurper of the USSR. He vowed if he escaped from his cell and freed Russia he would rid the Earth of them. One last point of this book was that he would clear Europe of the remaining Monarchs and Democracies. A few of his most loyal guards decided to break him out. They blasted out a wall with C4, incited a small prison riot during the dinner period, and freed him from his high security containment cell. They sprinted away to an unassuming truck; Sergei had his memoir in hand. He surrounded himself with only his most loyal in an abandoned fallout shelter outside of Moscow. It was a large enough place, as this was where Stalin planned to hide if a nuclear war with the US happened. They planned a coup, including where they would kill Medvedev and Putin after they had burned the Kremlin. It looked as if nothing would stop them. On a freezing Christmas Eve, him and a strike team of Spetznaz soldiers stormed the houses of Breshkovksy, and quickly executed him. Afterwards, they quickly were transported in two strike teams, one to the house of Medvedev and one to the house of Putin. As a strike team of hackers linked them into national television. Millions of Russians watched as the gas-masked figure of Yurinov held a silenced PB pistol to Putin’s head, and pulled the trigger. He then gave a short speech, detailing his plan to reinstate the old USSR and to “reeducate” and “take care of” the ones who brought this appalling Capitalism to Russia. In a brash move, Yurinov stated himself to be the leader of this Spetznaz, and declared the city of Moscow under martial law.

Under control of the capital, his soldiers forced the populace to build an enormous capital building on top the smoldering ruins of the Kremlin. Then, after this fortress was build, he had all the many of the old killed for letting the great nation fall to the grip of the EU and the US. Hundreds of thousands of bodies were left burning in the outskirts of the city. The youth that remained were forced to memorize his book and repeat it five times. They were brainwashed into his new state, where only the leaders were the ones who could think for themselves. Then, in another public address, Yurinov declared the revolution a success and that the city of Moscow would forever be known as the nation of Spetznova, named after the liberators and patriots that lead to it’s birth. Moscow was declared New Stalingrad, and the armed forces were all branches of the newly formed Elite Spetznaz Police (ESP). Secretly he knew that his nation was no match for the enemies he had declared, so he decided to apply for membership to The Democratic Order. He pledged his neutrality and allegiance, as they would protect and aid his country. Premier Sergei Yurinov then built up his defensive armies. There are many planned branches of the military, but only two are in existence. These branches are the Spetznova Strike Team (SST) and the Worker’s Defensive Army (WDA).
