Background

War
On the 3rd of June, 2075, the RSFSR declared war on Komi after the he had obstained from responding to prior ultimatums. By the 29th of June the Red Army had marched north long the Northern Dvina river and captured Bereznik.
Foreign Intervention
On the 16th of July Udmurtia joined the war on the side of Komi, and he also managed to convince the not so enthusiastic Republic of Russia to join as well, after the Republic rationalized that he would have to conquer RSFSR sooner or later anyway. With his morale taking only a minor hit since he had anticipated the possibility of the Republic joining, the RSFSR continued his advance until he reached the defended river Pineaga where most of the army of Komi had been stationed along. He then split his army in two, one consilidating the south of Komi, particularly his small land strip south of the Northern Dvina, including the Russian m8 highway for supply. The second army group meanwhile, marched north, capturing the village of Belush'ye and subsequently cutting the Komi Republic in two on the 6th of November. Due to this, Komi would lose control over his eastern lands which would fall under the control of Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and the Republic of Russia, the frontline vaguely following the Pechora river.
White Offensive
Over the course of the following winter, the Republic of Russia would launch the White Offensive, pushing Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic back considerably. This offensive also included a few minor encirclements, one in the village of Khodovarikha, one in Volonga, one in the entirety of the Kanin Peninsula and one in Tsenogora, where a quarter of the initial northern army group was crushed due to being unable to cross the Reka Mezen' river. In total half of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic's northern army group would be lost, around 60 % of them taken as POWs and the rest getting killed. Two smaller encirclements would also be made in December and January, one in Koida and one in the forest west of the village of Pinega.
In 2075 the RSFSR went to war with the Komi Republic and RR eventually agreed to join in and help Komi, on Udmurtia's insistance, claiming he would have to conquer RSFSR sooner or later anyway. Nonetheless, RSFSR made steady advances against Komi who quickly collapsed, but afterwards the Republic of Russia began rapidly advancing on him, controlling RSFSR's core territory by 2076, only to get outsmarted as RSFSR sent armies through the radiation and encircled half of his army. RSFSR did, however, make perhaps his only tactical blunder in the entire series here- he agreed to peace and gaining a massive amount of land in exchange for letting the Republic of Russia's armies return home safely, only for the Republic to immediately declare war again and make hefty advances in the east until grinding to another stalemate by 2077. There, the Republic went through the radiation himself, cutting off most of RSFSR's land from Kotlas. However, RSFSR was preparing for this, encircling the army sent through the radiation and getting the Republic to accept a peace deal in which he was able to get control over Komi Republic.
