= Backstory =
During his lifetime, the Union of Russia's Communal Fascists failed to properly consolidate their power over the country, with conservative socialists, rationalists, post-leftists and the military having major political influence in the country. This proved fatal when the leader of the Communal Fascist leader was shot in a riot during [[World war III|World War III]], and with his only child being a seven year old, it became the final nail in the coffin for his stability.

= Political Factions =
(Note: Most of these factions can also be seen in the Union of Russia's article!)

=== Communal Fascists ===
The ruling power in the Union for almost all of its existence, the Communal Fascists ideology was a mix of conservative Communism and Fascism, with conservative totalitarian governance and economically socialist policies, with a state controlled market and outlawed private enterprise.

=== Anocratic Rationalists ===
After the leader of the Communal Fascists was shot and killed in a riot in 2085, the Rationalists would largely seize power over the country, instating an anocratic rationalist coalition government, but their policies aren't very well known. What is known is that they pursued more capitalistic economics then the Communal Fascists due to Rationalism's Keynesian economics. The Anocratic Rationalists tried to instate a freer market and re-legalize private enterprise, which led to the Conservative Socialist movement to rebel. They also tried to kick out the Polish government-in-exile and peace out with Germany, leading to his army turning against him and him having to fight Idel-Ural and Poland's army.

=== Conservative Socialists ===
The Conservative Socialists were significant in the communist elements of the nation. When the Anocratic Rationalists attempted to institute capitalist policies, the Conservative Socialists revolted as the Russian Commune, a puppet state of the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]]. Currently, he is the faction in control of Moscow, as the military of the UR revolted when the Anocratic Rationalists attempted to send them to deal with the socialists.

=== Post-Leftists ===
''See more: [[Post-Russia]]''

The [[Post-Russia|Post-Leftists]] briefly rebelled during the [[3rd Russian Revolution|Third Russian Revolution]], but his morale was extremely weak and he was hastily taken out.

=== Military ===
The military is fairly self-explanatory. When the Anocratic Rationalists tried to peace out with Germany, the military revolted, with support from the Poles that the Anocratic Rationalists were trying to kick out, alongside Idel-Ural and the Republic of Russia. Presumably, when and if the civil war comes to an end, he will unite with the Republic of Russia. If the war will end soon however is unknown.

=== Secessionists & Uralic Entente ===
As the war broke out, Erzyan Mastor, Vologda, and Tver declared their independence on the same side of the war. The secessionists received support from the Uralic Entente of [[Tatarstan]], [[Udmurtia]], and [[Chuvashia]], who wanted to weaken their western rival, with Chuvashia later directly joining the war in order to take back ethnically Chuvash lands. This did end up resulting in a currently unsolved border dispute between Chuvashia and Erzyan rebels, but after he annexed most of his claimed lands, Chvuashia left the war.

=== Collapse of the Communal Fascists and Socialist uprising ===
While the Union of Russia was attempting to convince Poland to using nukes against the [[Fifth Reich of Deutschland (AFOE: Collapse)|Fifth Reich]], his leader was shot and killed during a riot, leading to the Communal Fascists collapsing, and the Rationalists forming a fragile coalition to try to keep the country together. The Rationalists formed a capitalist anocracy, with policies to free up the market and allow private enterprise, which enraged the Conservative Socialists, leading to their revolt as a puppet state of the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]], with him marching on Moscow.

=== Russian Army defects ===
The Anocratic Rationalists also attempted to peace out of the war and kick out the Polish government-in-exile, which led to the Polish army effectively fighting for control of the lands their government-in-exile held. The Rationalists attempt to peace out with Germany enraged the Russian Army, who defected and rebelled with the support of Poland and Idel-Ural.

=== Post-Leftists, secessionists, and foreign meddling ===
As the Rationalists did poorly in the war without their army backing them up, the Post-leftist movement in the [[Union of Russia]] broke away, forming a short-lived state with weak morale that quickly lost. Erzyan Mastor, Vologda, and Tver would declare their independence trying to break free, and in order to weaken any future threats to the west, the Uralic Entente backed them up. [[Chuvashia]] entered the war and invaded the remaining Chuvash lands within the union before leaving the war, causing a border dispute with the [[Erzya Mastor|Erzyan rebels]]. Meanwhile, Germany advised the [[Republic of Russia]] to join in on his side, to which he refused and instead joined in against him, on the same side as [[Poland]], the military of the UR, and Idel-Ural. Around this point, the Rationalist government completely collapsed, as did the post-leftist movement.
