Born in 1973 in Minsk to a Russian family Georgiy spent much time reading and living the standard life of the typical soviet but his life in Minsk wouldn’t last long as Family moved to Moscow to try and get a better education but like many others his family was arrested only days later for supposedly having anti communist views and taken away to a gulag which deeply hurt Georgiy, and shaped many of his future views, yet later in 1989 he joined the military briefly but had to leave after a injury. Then in 1991 when the soviet union fell he quickly began getting into politics more and soon he’d become a well known politician but it wouldn’t be till the complete collapse of Russia till he got the recognition he has today. Setting up a small militia in Tikhvin, Georgiy led many campaigns to capture Karelian and Ingrian land and soon he’d taken over a large chunk of land but he still was not satisfied and pushed towards St. Petersburg. In the famous battle he led a massive charge with infantry units and one tank which they’d stolen from the former military. In the end Georgiy’s forces won over the small Partisan units in St. Petersburg.
now years later with the rebirth of the new Soviet Union and with a strong sense of new soviet expansionism the new Red army has been given order directly by the Marshal of soviet union, Pankiv Nikolay, to invade the ‘’Rouge northern militarist north.’’. while Georgiy’s army is not very efficient it does have an advantage has the terrain and forests protects them from large offensives but knowing this general Valery Gerasimov requested that he’d be given the newly formed winter units and much winter suited motorized units as possible. This would help him both with the terrain but also the climate as both Karelia and Ingria are known for their heavy winters.
Not too long after the order and the units being organised the red army charged into the north with high speed taking villages, cities and large regions with little resistance. Pushing as far in as to Pskov and taking several of Georgiy’s forces by surprise. Around 17,000 enemy troops where supposedly captured when the red army took Pskov and around 14,000 captured in Veliky Novgorod.

**Uprising in St. Petersburg**
Since the beginning of the war Pankiv Nikolay where in close contact with Russian communists in st Petersburg and have sent secret supplying missions to the communist partisans there. Now with the enemy being confused and unorganised Pankiv has given the request that the partisans in st Petersburg rise up and start a revolution which they accepted.
Soon St. Petersburg which had been generally unguarded fell with resounding victory for the communists and soon other towns nearby also rose up. Now having to fight on two front the enemy is split and forced to fight on both a stretched and long border but also with guerrilla forces in St. Petersburg. All this continues to contribute and allow the large success for the red army.
Pankiv Nikolay has also sent a ultimatum to Georgiy which states:
‘’By request of my cabinet we’ve concluded that this war between us will most likely result in many deaths but this can be halted if you where to surrender. We guarantee you your life and in return we wish that you’ll halt your forces and officially step down along with your militias and troops. We will welcome any surrender with mercy but if you do not surrender we can not promise you nor your troops safety or mercy.’’ -General secretary of CPSU and marshal of the soviet union, Pankiv Nikolay.

The red army continues its advance but in the government they wait for a response from Runov Georgiy but only time will tell.
During the invasion musicians from Moscow came to higher the moral and one song frequently played was "Красная Армия всех сильней" or White Army, Black baron as its known in English. Its song comes from the times of the Russian civil war but it still is well known song today especially among the troops.
‘’I
White is the Army and Black the Baron
That want to restore the old Borists throne
But from the taiga to British seas
The people's Red Army's at the peak of strength!
Chorus:
Let the Red Army
Take in its journey
A bayonet with its hardened hand,
And now we must all
Unstopped by walls
Go into one last deadly stand!
II
Oh people's Red Army, let's march on our way!
The Rev-Mil-Council calls us into the fray.
For from the taiga to British seas
The people's Red Army's at the peak of strength!
Chorus
III
Flames and fires worldwide we seek to ignite,
Razing down churches and prisons in tide.
For from the taiga to British seas
The people's Red Army's at the peak of strength!
Chorus’’

ST PETERSBURG REBELS PERSPECTIVE
I am Ivino Yovonivich. I am 32 years of age, but rather I Iook that I am 40. Looks can be decieving.
I studied chemistry in the St. Petersburg university, and quickly took a job at a chemist. I felt betrayed, all my skills, my education, and I was being underpaid. It was a betrayal, of the highest order in my opinion.
The revolt, oh, it was seen as a dirty workers revolt. However, I was like them, not appreciated. Did I live in a slum? No. However, we were kin.
I had my fathers rifle, and had taken the time to train with it, and was a decent shot.
When I first signed up to participate in the revolt, I was viewed with skepticism. I was a chemist, why would I revolt? I must certainly be a spy. However, my speech, convinced them otherwise, and I was initiated as an officer in the revolt, a 2nd Lieutenant for that matter.
My new men, 20 of them to be exact, were skittish. Yes, when faced with fancied marching songs, then marched forward with courage, with no problem. However, I saw something inside them. They would certainly run away at first shot. I decided to make an inspiring speech, and upon telling the other lieutenants and captains of my plan, 600 men were gathered so I could speak to them.
"Men, I remind you all of why you are here. Why you face the enemy on the opposing feild. Is it for coin? No. We do not fight for some that is, oh no no. We fight, for what will be. We fight, for our future generations, our children, our grand children, to make this world a better place. That is why we revolt, and risk our lives today."
The soldiers responded in a resounding "Hurrah! Hurrah!", and with that I knew that these each of 600 men would fight as if they were 10 men.
I was invited to speak to other soldiers, and the morale of the entire army dramatically improved.
