Following several months of a down spiraling economy, near daily protests, often with OMON just sitting around watching, things were looking pretty bad. Since the President had freed the economy, nothing good had come. Nearly all industries were taken over by a few choice people, and they enjoyed a nice lifestyle in some of the newly constructed cities. Essentially, you could say that there were 3 different groups; the average person who suffers, the military, who's ranks are filled with the former, and the rich and well off.
The rich people, with their money had built walls around their cities, to keep others out and protect them from the military, who now roamed around robbing people because they were no longer getting payed, food rationing was nationwide. Because they had no say in military affairs, they had bought private security; the best money could buy.
In Veblensk[1], a group of military officers stormed the government building and killed the president and most of the cabinet. At exactly 8am, they had a meeting with as many people from the city that could fit inside and the surrounding prospect. It was decided, that they would restore the real Soviet Republic, instead of the democratic mess they had to put up with for the past few years.
There were mixed feelings about the assassination; while some were happy that they would get to old government back[provided they could locate the old premier, anyway] others were upset, and believed the democratic regime wasn't given a chance. In some areas, such as the Kolgujev[greenish, tiny], Kavkaz[5] and North Drakovia[12] districts saw this as an opportunity to gain their independence. They were quick to have their local officials titled the leaders, and North Drakovia prepared to invade the Uzlovaya[11] District, as it fell within historical boundaries. In the Kolgujev district, members of their newly formed military were quick to fire on the federal forces stationed there, catching them by surprise. The out numbered troops, who had little idea what was going on immediately began a counter attack, mostly to hold their ground. They fired massed artillery into the city of Petrograd, killing thousands within a few hours. The Kavkaz district was more verbal about their intentions, and wasn't quite ready to fight off any attackers. They did say, however that they wished to remain neutral, and would take any refugees that would no doubt be moving in.
The units stationed in Kolgujev were able to contact the old GHQ, who simply told them to hold their ground until reinforcements arrived, however long that could be. Within a day or two, North Drakovian forces crossed into Uzlovaya. They were a division in strength, made up of people of Drakovian descent. They were bent on purging the others, the communist scum that had occupied their homeland and destroyed their culture. Red Army units evacuated as much of the Soviet population as they could and moved north into Uzlovaya, warning them about what was to come, and they prepared to defend the district at all costs. It shouldn't be too hard, since together with the Uzlovaya units they numbers at least 50,000, including irregulars and MVD troops. Unless the North Drakovians had help..
The divisions in Veblensk were preparing to assault the walled cities and take back the stuff that belonged to everyone; they also had lists of every person of importance, and would capture or kill them all. The other non separatist districts were in communication
