Thus, The Soviet Union Sent Everyone To the Gulag!
Fellow comrades, united in the struggle! Gather around, because I will tell you the history of how the Soviet Union came to the Falmartian continent and liberate its oppressed brothers and sisters from the imperialist Saderan Empire!
Fellow comrades! What I will say is the truth and only the truth. If someone tries to convince you other than the truth, he is a Capitalist Imperialist Agent! A CIA for short, working for the capitalist pigs! They are to be immediately reported to the KGB! Ah ha ha ha! Got 'em! Ha ha ha!
Well, after my failed attempt in trying to impersonate a Russian Communist, lets begin. In mid-1948, the Soviet military began the blockade of west Berlin, cutting off all the transportation of supplies to the Allied-administered city zone. In what can be argued to be the first battle of the Cold War, US President Harry Truman and the Western Allies, was determined not to let the Soviet Union win this battle, and along with the British, organizing the mass airlift of food and fuel that the city needs, frustrating Soviet efforts to blockade west Berlin.
And after less than five months into the blockade, the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin, announced his willingness to negotiate about lifting the blockade, due to an attack by a 'perfidious imperialists.' This caught everyone by surprise, as they thought that Stalin will persist in his fruitless attempt to blockade west Berlin. And who are these perfidious imperialists who attack the Soviet Union? No one is madly anti-Communist enough, to directly attack the Soviet Union. So who or what is Stalin was talking about? Well, what the Allies didn't know initially, was an event that changed the course of history: the GATE incident.
Two days before Stalin made his announcement, in Red Square, the heart of Moscow and the Soviet Union, a building of Roman architecture suddenly appeared, much to shocked surprised onlookers, soldiers and civilians alike. Then, out of the structure, the Saderan army came charging into Moscow, and begin its orgy of looting, raping and murdering against people of the Soviet Union. And they broke into Lenin's Mausoleum, burning Lenin's carefully preserved body when they found no valuables.
I can hear the Soviet fanboys and fangirls just… autistically screeching right now (REEEEEEEEEEE!)
Stalin was in one of his many dachas when he heard the news of the attack on Moscow. When he heard the news, he was enraged, angrily ranting on how the capitalists were able to attack the heart of the Soviet Union, believing it to be retaliation for the blockade.
Meanwhile, the attack was reported to the Red Army's Moscow Military District, whose reaction was confusion, who initially disbelieved that a hostile army had attacked Moscow, let alone a hostile army had attacked Moscow through a magic structure. Eventually, they organize Red Army Moscow Garrison, with the mission of driving the Saderan army out of Moscow, and back through their structure.
The fighting was harsh and brutal, with both sides throwing men into the fray, but eventually, the Red Army drove back the Saderan back through their structure, due to having better weaponry and due to being more experienced in fighting in close-quarters, in urban areas. The dragons that the Saderans brought along, were shot down by Soviet fighters.
Out of the 200,000 Saderan soldiers that went through the GATE for slaves, loot and glory, only 20,000 was able to escape, with 40,000 of their compatriots being captured.
Some Saderan soldiers were shot out of hand by Red Army soldiers, as a punitive response for all the atrocities committed by the Saderans. But for most Saderan soldiers, they were sent to the infamous Lubyanka Building, to be tortured for information by Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), the successor to the notorious People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD), which I strongly consider it a fate much, MUCH worse than death.
Because the MVD, uses the NKVD's brutal torture and interrogation methods from good old 'My Himmler' Beria (Stalin did say that Beria is his Himmler. Except a bit more… rapey). The MVD forcibly extract information from the Saderan prisoners through whatever diabolical methods that even the Spanish Inquisition (nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!) got nothing on them. Even the most strong-willed and most resistant of Saderans broke under these extremely brutal torture methods, such as:
- Having their hands dipped into boiling water, with the skin pulling off like a glove.
- Having small parts of their body getting cut or shot off.
- Having rats eating through their intestines.
Yeah… it wasn't a gentlemen's game, was it? I hope you are not eating something at the time and if you are, I hope I didn't put you off from eating it. Moving on, the MVD manage to attain and learn information about the Saderan Empire from the prisoners who broke. They now know about its culture. Its language. Its society. Its government. And its military. Once all information from the Saderans were both broken and expended, they were sent to various Gulags in the Arctic region, where they will die, either from the cruel guards, the bitter cold or the exhausting work.
And for some, there was an even more terrible fate, with some Saderan humans and all Saderan demi-humans that were captured were sent to be tested by scientists, being infected with chemical or biological agents, to see how well they handle those agents. None of the Saderans, survive such procedures.
Red Square was locked down, with tanks, machine guns, artillery and aircraft creating a security area that's always on high alert.
After some long ranting and regular updates from Moscow, Stalin quickly came to realize that it wasn't the capitalists that attacked Moscow, as the capitalists didn't equip their common thugs with spears, swords and shields (He wasn't stupid to realize this), and the thugs aren't half-human vyrodoks (beings that are abominations both to god and man).
A few days later, Stalin made a speech over the radio, that their great nation was attacked by imperialist invaders, who, like the Fascist invaders that attacked the Motherland a few years, were intended to enslaving the Soviet Union. The Western Allies were confused at Stalin's statement, who eventually found out the GATE, but can't do anything about it, due to being deep in Soviet territory, apart from the secret intelligence.
The Red Army assembled an expeditionary force, and the leader of the expedition is Marshall of the Soviet Union, Ivan Konev, the hero of the Soviet Union that along with Georgey Zhukov, capture the Fascist stronghold that's Berlin.
Upon arriving through the GATE, the Saderan Army attacked. When asked about what to do, Konev simply told his tank battalion to "run the bastards over!" Thus, Soviet steel and oil crush Saderan flesh and blood, as Saderan man and beast scream as they are both crushed under the threads of tanks.
And over the next few days, the Red Army consolidate their positions, before going on the offensive. The Red Army was like a charging steamroller; As the open plains of Sadera, the Red Army was in its element. Italica quickly falls, and the Red-Army basically controlling the city. And Pina and Bozes were captured alive, with whom… well Beria had his way with them as part of his interrogation, before sending them on their merry way to Vorkuta Gulag (I will let you imagine… WAIT. DON'T.)
And the Red Army quickly took territory and cities like as if there's no tomorrow, taking it left, right and centre. Emperor Molt, in a desperate bid, to stop the Red Army, ordered the execution of dozens of captured Soviet citizens that were in Saderan cities that were about to be captured by the Red Army, stating if the Red Army continues its offensive, the Saderans will continue to execute more captured Soviet citizens. He really is that fucking stupid at this point? Like as if the Soviet Union cares for a few executed civilians? (as good old Joe says himself: "One death is a tragedy. But a million deaths is statistics.")
But of course, the Red Army wasn't going to miss out a propaganda opportunity, with cameramen and journalists (Soviet-approved of course), send photos and stories about how Soviet citizens were being executed by these savages, enraging the Soviet people.
And Stalin actually ordering Konev to speed up the offensive. And Konev doesn't mind playing by the rules the Saderans made for themselves. He ordered hundreds of captured Saderan nobles and their families to be executed by NKVD firing squads, with the heads being dropped in front of the Saderan Senate by air, with a note in Falmartin stating that if the Saderan Empire keeps killing Soviet citizens, the Red Army will continue to execute three Saderan nobles for every executed innocent Soviet citizens, whether the Saderan nobles were guilty or not.
And Saderan soldiers were sent to Gulags, where they spent for the rest of their meaningless existence.
And the mood among the pro-peace faction, became increasingly fatalistic, as the Red Army marches ever closer to Sadera, despite all efforts to stop them. They deplored Molt's stonewall attempts to surrender. There was even an attempt coup by the pro-peace faction but was crushed by the Saderan loyalists.
When the Red Army arrived at the gates of Sadera, they fought with the same ferocity as they did at Moscow, Leningrad, Stalingrad and Berlin - giving no mercy to anyone, soldier or civilian. The people of Sadera, beseech to their gods to save them from this 'Red Army'. There was no reply, and soon, the Red Army had taken the city, and captured the entirety of the Imperial Saderan Family, being captured. Some tried to resist, but they were shot down. They were placed in the Sadea's Imperial Palace's cells, prisoners in their own home. (Ironic).
Meanwhile, there was of a dozen cases of Red Army soldiers murder and/or rape (with Konev constantly trying to crackdown on such behaviour), there were still hundreds of cases if Red Army soldiers robbing and/or assaulting Saderans, who didn't accept the simple fact that they lost the war.
And Stalin heard the news of the capture of the entire Imperial Saderan family, he believed that the members of the Imperial Saderan Family, will attempt to escape (which some tried to, but failed) and cause trouble for the Red Army, something that the Soviet Union did not want. In order to prevent such a course of action happening, Stalin personally ordered Konev, to execute the entirety of the Imperial Saderan Family. Konev complied, but ordered the NKVD to conduct the executions, so that the 'honour of the Red Army was not stained.'
Family group by family group, the NKVD using DShKM heavy machine guns, began the execution spree. All members of Saderan royalty were executed. The men. The women. The children. None were spared.
The NKVD's DShKM heavy machine guns, made the place of execution a bloody mess, with groups of members of the Imperial Saderan family, being forced to wait for their eventual demise, standing or sitting on the flesh and blood of their own executed. Hundreds of members of the Imperial Saderan Family were killed in the infamous episode, the Imperial Saderan Massacre, similar to the murder of the Russian Tsar and his immediate family in 1919.
And the last people to be executed were Emperor Molt, Crown Prince Zorzal and Prince Diabo, having witnessed the executions beforehand. Molt, in a desperate attempt, begged Knoev to spare their lives. Konev rhetorically asked Molt: "Did your soldiers give mercy to the women and children they raped and murdered? Did you give mercy to the Soviet civilians you ordered to be executed? And you expect mercy from those who you wronged and you call savages? You are nothing but a greedy hypocrite!"
Soon after Konev's dialogue of contempt, Molt, Zorzal and Diabo were executed. With the Imperial, Saderan Family was wiped out, and what remains of their bodies were burned and buried in an unmarked mass grave. And over the years, there are false pretenders that claimed to be surviving members of the Imperial Saderan Family (mostly being Pina co Lada pretenders, as the last known location was in Italica and because no one knows what became of Pina or Bozes).
And the Soviet Union quickly set up puppet communist regimes in Falmart, with a dozen nations being formed and loyal to the Soviet Union (more importantly, to Stalin himself).
And in the former Saderan nation, the Saderan people were often expelled from their lands, replaced with Russian colonists, with Stalin aiming to turn Falmart into a Soviet Russian paradise. And the Saderan culture, language and religion, are replaced with Russian culture, Russian language and the Russian cult of personality, with Sadera being successfully 'Russified' by Stalin's death in 1954. Emperor Molt was written off as an evil tyrant (a view that has some validation) who is willing to destroy and kill everything and everyone, to prevent their liberation by the Red Army.
And the KGB (MVD's successor), harshly crackdown on the Saderan religion, and as a result, nationalistic and religious Saderan terrorist organizations, with displaced Saderan nobles, former Saderan soldiers making up the rank-and-file of these organizations. They conduct terror operations and kidnapping of Soviet officials or their families, which the Russians responded harshly, with the KGB sending these Saderan terrorists, to Gulags in the cold Falmartian north.
The Western powers, through spies, found information about Falmart and it completely horrified them, that the Soviet Union, had the resources of two worlds, meaning that anyone that is a friend of the communists, will receive massive amounts of military aid from the Soviet Union, and that… that terrifies the west.
Knowing that the Soviet Union (and later, the Warsaw Pact), have an unmitigated quantity advantage, NATO focuses on technological quality of their militaries, making sure that their militaries, had some of the best equipment in the world. As a result, the technology that was only being implemented in the early 80s in the OTL, were being implemented in the mid-60s in this TL.
And the number of resources of the Soviet Union meant that they can generously finance pro-communist insurgencies, causing the Western powers to support anyone that was remotely anti-Communist (Rhodesia and South Africa are good examples, as they are still fighting pro-Communist insurgencies till the mid-2000s).
And when the Soviet Union collapsed in the early-2000s, due to decades of economical mismanagement (heavily investing in the military v. little to no investing in the civilian) it was violent collapse, the various demi-human and human ethnic tensions in Democratic Republic of Sadera (mostly due to Soviet interference), exploded in a jumbled mess that makes the collapse of Yugoslavia look like a civilized breakaway, causing the new Russian administration (Yeltsin) to intervene, only to fail to make any meaningful impact, with the extreme nationalistic Saderan nation, the Second Saderan Empire, to being begrudgingly recognized by Russia and the other Falmartian states.
In the early 2000s, a series of terrorist attacks in Falmart and Russia had mostly been linked to the Saderan Empire. Accusing the Empire of 'State-sponsored terrorism,' Russian strongman president, Vladimir Putin, along with various Falmartian allies, staged an invasion that devastates the Saderan nation and its people.
Today, Russia, despite the collapse of the Soviet Union and turmoil that followed in the 90s, is still as strong or even more so than ever, causing NATO to be on a constant alert against Russian aggression.
Sorry for the delay in posting this chapter. It's near my final Year 12 exams, so I'm more focused on finishing those... and I'm going to explore Warhammer 40K-
"DIE SCUM! NO PRISONERS! FOR THE EMPEROR! ARGHHHHHHH!"
