==== '''White Offensive''' ====
Over the course of the following spring, the [[Republic of Russia]] would launch the White Offensive, pushing [[RSFSR]] 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 [[RSFSR]]'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 April and May, one in Koida and one in the forest west of the village of Pinega. During this offensive Karelia would join the war as an ally of the [[RSFSR]] on the 21th of March, breaking the short stalemate between him and [[Komi Republic|Komi]] forcing [[Komi Republic|Komi]] to retreat back to just his capital of Arkhangelsk where he would hold out for a while. The [[Republic of Russia]] would push all the way into [[RSFSR]] propper, capturing the village of Sogra.

In total half of the [[RSFSR]]'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 July, one in Koida and one in the forest west of the village of Pinega.

==== '''Siege of Arkhangelsk''' ====
Lasting from the 5th of May until the 14th of September, the [[Komi Republic]] showed off an impressive defense, resisting both Karelia and the [[RSFSR]], albeit the southern army group of the [[RSFSR]] was by that oint more focused on preparing for Operation Turnaround than anything. It took Karelia until July to properly enter the city and even then, they were pushed back out again as [[Republic of Russia|Republican]] reinforcements arrived in the following month. Arkhangelsk did not fall until the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]]'s forces fell into disarray following Operation Turnaround.


==== '''Operation Turnaround''' ====
==== '''Operation Turnaround''' ====
On the 3rd of June, exactly one year after the start of the war, the [[RSFSR]] would use his southern army group to launch an offensive into core [[Republic of Russia|Republic of Russian]] territory, going through the undefended wasteland east of Kotlas, quickly capturing Kirov and spearheading north all the way to the Arctic Sea coast where he captured Chernaya, effecitvely rendering all the forces used in the White Offensive encircled. The [[Republic of Russia]] would manage to encircle Kirov and take back the city with the use of his local border guards in the region. This however did nothing to stop the western advances made the [[RSFSR|Red Army]] towards closing the encirclement and subsequently crushing half of the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]]'s military. In order to save himself from such a devestating defeat, the [[Republic of Russia]] sued for peace, in effect giving up much more land than the [[RSFSR]] ever occupied over the course of the war, his borders now stretching past the Ural Mountains, now all the war to the Ob River.
On the 3rd of August, the [[RSFSR]] would use his southern army group to launch an offensive into core [[Republic of Russia|Republic of Russian]] territory, going through the undefended wasteland east of Kotlas, quickly capturing Kirov and spearheading north all the way to the Arctic Sea coast where he captured Chernaya, effecitvely rendering all the forces used in the White Offensive encircled. The [[Republic of Russia]] would manage to encircle Kirov and take back the city with the use of his local border guards in the region along with forces from Udmurtia.
 
==== '''Treaty of Arkhangelsk''' ====
With the major advances made by the [[RSFSR|Red Army]] towards closing the encirclement and subsequently crushing half of the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]]'s military. The [[Republic of Russia]] decided to save himself from such a devestating defeat by suing for peace, which he did on the 28th of September, 2076, in effect giving up much more land than the [[RSFSR]] ever occupied over the course of the war, his borders now stretching past the Ural Mountains, now all the war to the Ob River. This peace did not last for long however, as the [[Republic of Russia]] only signed it in order to get his army back to safety. The war would as a result restart two week later, in the [[2nd Union War Continuation]].
