-----------------
Its the midst of World War 2, and Iosif Stalin's hubris and desperation is at its max. The Germans have deeply penetrated the lands of his glorious union, and everything has slipped from his grasp following the staggering defeat at Stalingrad. Foot by foot, his entire life's devotion is falling into the hands of the seemingly unstoppable invaders. All he can do is watch, and rely on his generals and advisers to slow them down.
However, he had fallen out of favor with his generals and advisers. In secrecy, the great General Vasily Korzh had taken control of the Red Army and the Palace Guard to put an end to the vile dictator Stalin. After the successful coup d'état, he quickly began plans to stop the incoming war machine. In the coming week, his advisers had put together a plan to ambush a massive German force at the industrial town of Molokovo, and do a quick push against the German lines. At the sound of a single word, there would be a tremendous push from the great cities of Leningrad, Moscow, Molokovo, and Rostov, aimed to create a panic and a quick retreat from the Eastern Front.
On August, 1943, this plan was put into action. A German force of 300,000 had begun pushing a town with very little resistance. When they had thought they had won ever so quickly and begun to celebrate, the hidden Soviet force attacked in the midst of the night. This began a three day long battle where the German force was slaughtered. Their general had wisely called a retreat. Once word had made it to Vasily that the Germans were pulling some troops from the northern part of the front to the southern, he called for the simultaneous pushes. Confused and pressured, the Germans put up a valiant defense, but it was not enough. City by city they began to fall back. This allowed for the Soviet front to get smaller and smaller, and the Red Army started to get more consolidated, and soon enough they were at Berlin. The war was soon over.
Vasily Korzh's strategic brilliance and bravery won him the support of the people. In the years following his victory against the Krauts, he began to revitalize the Union, attempting to restore Lenin's vision of a nation led by the working class. He also continued the industrialization of the Union, almost doubling the throughput of the Siberian mines and factories. With greater steel, and as a result greater weapons, the Soviet Union was once again something to fear.
In strict competition against the capitalist country of the United States of America, the Union made great strives in the areas of Mathematics, Sciences, Politics, and Culture. When America claimed containment against the states of Korea, Vietnam, and China, the Union sent supplies, men, and money to counteract the capitalist involvement. Asia was almost completely shrouded in communism. Only the freeholds of India and Japan remained free of it, but there was always a plot going on in those countries.
In the early 1960s, Vasily grew infirm and finally passed in July, 1963. The people of the Union mourned, and parades held in his honor. In the coming months, they were to decide a new General Secretary. Viktor Korzh was to take the role, the 26 year old son of Vasily. Viktor had gained the control of a nation who supported his father, and now it was his turn to gain control of the people and continue on the golden era.
