In 1932, Russia, along with [[Japan]] and [[China]], [[Russo-Corean War|declared war]] against the burgeoning empire of Corea. Ending in 1935, the war resulted in the annexation of [[Poeja]] and an assertion of Russian influence in northeast Asia. The same year, Russia entered the [[Great War]] in the spring of 1935 when the [[Ottoman Empire]] declared war against them. Russia joined the [[United Kingdom]], [[Portugal]], and others in forming the [[Factions of the Great War#Cordial%20League|Cordial League]]. In 1936, Tripartite League forces laid siege to the city of Kiev for months. Chairman Ozero was forced to sign the Treaty of Akmolinsk in 1937, granting independence to the new Orkhonist state of [[Turkestan]]. Also in 1937, the Russo-Ottoman Compromise created the [[Rumelia|Rumelian National Republic]] and made Constantinople a Russo-Rumelian condominium. Russia's claims were formally acknowledged in the [[The Great War#Aftermath|Congress of Amsterdam]].
==== Ozero
During Ozero
The era was dominated by revolutionary zeal and intense nationalism. While the political system allowed for a degree of democracy, it was strictly within nationalist parameters, limiting political freedom and ensuring that the National Republican agenda remained unchallenged. The period was also characterized by widespread conflict, marked by numerous wars and internal strife. The era was rife with racism and anti-Semitism, with discriminatory policies being systematically enforced against various minority groups.

===== Founding of the International Republican Coalition (1941) =====
{{Main|International Republican Coalition}}
Muromsky had long envisioned the establishment of a coalition among allied national republican nations, dating back to the early days of the civil war, with the goals of promoting regional stability, mutual defense, and safeguarding member states from external threats such as western imperialism. However, it was not until the 1940s, following Russia's victory in the [[Great War]] and Muromsky's consolidation of power throughout the nation, that he acquired the authority and legitimacy to pursue this vision.
Muromsky personally engaged with leaders from several national republican nations to garner support for the coalition. In 1941, the [[International Republican Coalition|International Republican Coalition (IRC)]] was formally founded, comprising 15 founding members spanning Eurasia. The creation of the IRC prompted a response from Britain and other Western nations, leading to the establishment of the [[Organization of Democratic Nations]], intended as a counterbalance to the growing influence of the national republican bloc.
===== Death and power struggle =====
===== The Summer of Blood (1943) =====
Upon becoming chairman, Orlov enacted a brutal purge of his rivals, a campaign known as ''The Summer of Blood'' (Russian: Лето крови). Widespread executions and arrests of his political rivals occurred throughout the mid-1940s, effectively eliminating opposition and solidified Orlov's dominance in the government.
===== Leadership =====
Orlov ruled as an authoritarian leader with a strong personality cult. He projected himself as "the embodiment of the nation's strength and stability", fostering widespread public support.
Despite his dictatorial leadership, Orlov allowed for more freedom in private enterprise and granted the autonomous national republics (ANRs) greater leeway, provided they remained loyal, a stark contrast to Muromsky's policies. He loosened some of the strict trade controls, promoting a slightly more open economic environment without fully abandoning Kuznetsovian economic principles. This approach facilitated a degree of economic liberalization while retaining overall state control.
▲==== Mikhail Orlov administration (1943-1947) ====
Orlov’s rule, though marked by purges and authoritarianism, was popular among the common people. Minorities, in particular, flourished under his regime due to the greater autonomy and rights granted to them, contrasting with the more repressive policies of the Muromsky era.
===== Demise =====
Mikhail Orlov's rule ended abruptly with his death in 1947, only ruling for 4 years. The party, seeking to move away from the intense personality cult of Orlov’s era, selected Semyon Kiselev as the new chairman. Kiselev was seen as the perfect candidate to succeed Orlov because of his more moderate and less controlling approach. His demise sparked controversies, with some alleging that he was assassinated by more moderate members of the National Republican Party to prevent them from being sidelined from power, but no evidence to support this was ever found.
