Post-Russia

Post-Russia was a short-lived post-leftist state in western Russia that tried to overthrow the rationalist provisional government of the Union of Russia.

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'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.

"There is no way we can salvage this situation for our people. If we want to end suffering in Russia we might as well end Russia itself!" - Leader of Post-Russia, off-screen 2085.

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.
