Комитет сверхъестественное исследование
Founded during the Napoleonic Wars as a way to combat Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the неестественным армии (in English, 'Unnatural Army') was the secret to the failure of the French invasion of Russia. Alexander I, fearing an attack from the French, ordered his men to search the Russian Empire and uncover those with talents and abilities unnatural to the normal human being. These 'Unnaturals' are what we would call Supernatural creatures - things like orcs or dwarves. United, these creatures proved to be a match for Napoleon's army, and the French Empire soon fell. After Napoleon's death, the Unnatural Army found itself without a cause. To further protect the existence of Supernatural creatures, Alexander I ordered the Army to wait in the tundra until further notice. After the Emperor's death in 1825, the Unnatural Army was forgotten, and Russia would not see the return of Supernatural warfare until after the October Revolution established the Soviet Union. A certain Vladimir Lenin ordered the grouping of Supernaturals into an army to serve under the ideals of communism. After Lenin's death, a short-lived revolution between Josef Stalin and Leon Trotsky took place, resulting in many deaths for the Russian Supernaturals. Stalin would hesitate to trust anything but normal humans until sometime close to his death in the 1950s.
Afterwards, the U.S.S.R. fell under new management, one which formed the Комитет сверхъестественное исследование ('The Committee of Supernatural Investigation') as a way to counter the United States in the Cold War. Several American agencies were reformed into the single 'Paranormal American Service', an antagonistic organization that nearly wiped out the CSI during the 1970s. As the Warsaw Pact countries fell to democracy, the CSI struggled to maintain a presence in the world. However, the fall of the Soviet Union finalized the end of the Cold War-era CSI. In 2000, the Committee of Supernatural Investigation was reformed by the Russian government as a way to match America's use of Supernaturals in science and warfare. Today, the CSI operates worldwide, competing against major Supernatural agencies in other nations. Recruits from all across the old Soviet Union are accepted, based almost entirely on whether they can pass a few simple tests; those who are completely incompetent are killed after failing said tests. The CSI is one of Russia's most well-funded government agencies, and has several top-secret bases across the frigid Russian landscape.

To the naked eye it is an abandoned warehouse in Volgograd. But in reality, it is Tunguska Hill, the headquarters of the Committee of Supernatural Investigation. The base stretches far underground, and holds a vast array of technology, ranging from Medieval Times to the Post-Modern Era. The most advanced Soviet techniques and technology is being researched and expanded to best fit the Supernatural world.
Hidden underneath this Old Believer church, The Baron's Nest is an old Soviet bunker used by the Cold War-Era CSI. The bunker is outfitted with modern-day resting and training facilities, but lacks the state-of-the-art weaponry and technology that Tunguska Hill offers.
In the wilds of Siberia, Stalin's Tip is a CSI research center. Equipped to handle any situation, the bunker houses spy technology to keep tabs on other nations and their Supernatural programs. The bunker is also used for dangerous experiments, and houses some of the strangest agents in all of Russia.

Posts should be a minimum of four lines, though I won't be too picky about it. Other than that, feel free to comment on ways to improve your time with the CSI.
This is where the CSI places its fun facts of the week, comrade. If you make a fact that I find amusing, it might go on the list.
Fun Fact #1 Originally, "Stalin's Tip" was a government-run homosexual brothel; hence the name of the installation.
