== Personality ==
Post-Russia is indifferent, pessemistic and detatched. Scholars from the first half of the century would undoubtedly had described him as an "edgy emo doomer". This is further noticable in his quote upon declaring independence ''"Insurrection. Yay..."'' whilst looking incredibly unenthusiastic about it, - a statement that is most likely meant as post-ironical.

==== Goals ====

After seeing the failures of the policies of the [[Union of Russia]], he, along with the [[Russian Commune]] had enough. Unlike the [[Russian Commune]] however, Post-Russia did not attempt to rectify the [[Union of Russia|Union's]] mistakes, but instead embraced the hopelessness of the perpetual suffering for the average UR civilian. Instead of fighting the oppression, they thought it better to just give up.

==== Ideological Significance ====
Post-Russia's post-leftism can be traced back to old schools of anarcho-nihilism that arose from Russia's Nihilist movement in the 1860s. Scholars often label its ideological and phillosophical reasoning as "proto-annihilism" due to its similarities to other similar movements in Spain and Finland and due to the role it played of developing [[annihilism]] as an ideology.

== History ==

==== Background ====
''See more: [[3rd Russian Revolution]]''

Yevlogiy Pyotr, who was the current leader of the [[Union of Russia]], was shot in a riot by a starving peasant in February 2085. With his only successour Ignat Pyotr deemed too young to rule, the rationalists and the conservative socialists declared a coaltion government which had already fallen apart by March. Following this, the [[Russian Army]] mutinied and many break-away nations started arising and amidst this chaos so did Post-Russia.

==== Insurgency ====
On the 18th of May, 2085, Post-Russia declared his insurrection, but his morale was very low from the start, due to his ideological presumpositions. On the 2nd of June his territories had been consolidated as the rationalist anocratic government had completely lost control over the region, only maintaining a foothold in Sarov to the north. On the first of June his armies managed to capture the Polish occupied city of Penza, declaring it his capital. He also sent out a small force in hopes to capture the Erzyan capital Kuznetsk, though by this point he had already past his peak.

==== Downfall ====
The [[Republic of Russia]] who had joined the war back in May had by now mobilized an army to cross the radiated wastelands along the Volga to the east. The army met up with a Polish one who had just encricled two Post-Russian battallions in the south, and following this the [[Republic of Russia|Republican]] forces broke through the Post-Russian lines, the [[Russian Army]] captured and Penza and on the 30th of June Post-Russia capitulated. Historians often argue wether a higher morale, as in, more akin to that of [[Aggressive Annihilism|aggressive annihilism]] could have saved the state, however, considering the overwhelming number advantage held by the [[Republic of Russia|Republicans]], this is thought to be unlikely, especially if [[Republic of Russia|the republic]] would choose to put in the effort.
