== National Republican Russia (1925-19xx) == |
||
Modern historiography in Russia divides its national republican history into distinct eras, each named to encapsulate the period's defining theme: |
|||
* 1926-1928: ''Razdroblennost'' ("Fragmentation", Раздробленность) — the civil war era. |
|||
==== Background ==== |
|||
* 1928-1941: ''Vosstanovlenie'' ("Restoration", Восстановление) — the period of National Republicans consolidating power across Russia after their victory in the civil war. |
|||
In the 1920s, the [[European Economic Crisis]] hit Russia especially hard. Already plagued by famines in the 1910s, a series of crop failures and poor financial decisions by the Russian imperial authorities caused a financial crisis known as the Russian Depression. A massive exodus of rural peasantry towards urban centers occurred, with thousands of people entering Moscow seeking work and housing. This led to a strict and apathetic crackdown and directly caused subsequent violence. |
|||
* 1941-1963: ''Vmeshatelstvo'' ("Intervention", Вмеша́тельство) — the rise of Russia in global geopolitics and involvement in the Silent War |
|||
* 1973-1978: ''Pyatiletka'' ("Five-year period", Пятилетка) — the five years of power struggle during the Russian Lustrum |
|||
* 1978-197x: ''Demokratizatsiya'' ("Democratization", Демократизация) |
|||
=== Razdroblemnost (1926-1928) === |
|||
Several ghettos that formed in cities became hotbeds of republicanism and anti-elite sentiment, rejecting the notion of 'enlightened despotism' brought upon by Tsar Henry-Williams decades prior. By 1923, the underground political organization the Russian Republican Congress had accumulated over a million members and affiliates, with several million more being sympathizers. By the winter of 1925, the situation rapidly deteriorated, with violence now being targeted against the imperial family and the highest officials of state. |

==== Russian Revolution (1922-1928) ==== |

{{Main|Russian Revolution}} |
|||
On December 3rd, the winter palace was surrounded by protestors who had originally congregated in the area to participate in a bread riot. The Russian aristocracy, including the Tsar himself, had fled for other cities and their holiday homes days prior and were unharmed. After two days of riots, the protestors broke into the Winter Palace and declared the end of the Romanov monarchy. Days before Christmas, the Russian Republican Congress declared the first Russian republic and the end of imperial rule. After a week of tensions, most soldiers of the former Imperial Military agreed to serve the new republican administration. |
|||
The Russian Revolution of 1925 marked the end of the monarchy and the establishment of the Russian National Republic by the national republicans after the storming of the Winter Palace. Triggered by economic crises and widespread discontent, the revolution led to a brief civil war between liberal and national republican factions, as well as multiple breakaway states on the fringes of Russia. The nationalists, under Anastaze 'Ozero' Muromsky, consolidated power through authoritarian measures, overcoming resistance from the liberals' Tricolor Army and securing victory by spring 1928. |

=== Vosstanovlenie (1928-1941) === |
|||
The newly formed Parliament of the Republic was deadlocked a month after the Storming of the Winter Palace. The liberal republicans, inspired by the ideals of Dutch republicanism and British liberalism, strongly opposed the national republicans, more commonly known as the Vosstanists (from Russian восстановление). Several frontier regions of Russia further heightened the urgency of the situation. One of these movements eventually became successful, creating the nation of [[Turkestan]] a decade later. |
|||
In February of 1926, the first elections were marred with controversy. The Vosstanists walked out of Parliament, declaring their formal opposition to the liberal republicans. After a series of negotiations with military and Cossack leaders, including General [[Mikhail Orlov]], the national republicans formed the Russian National Congress, accusing the Parliament of being an illegitimate institution. On the nineteenth, the Congress elected the revolutionary author and politician [[Ozero|Anastaze 'Ozero' Muromsky]] as Chairman of the National Republic. |
|||
In response, Parliament gathered their sparse military regiments and militias into what became known as the Tricolor Army. Several regional leaders sided with Parliament, fearing that Congress would centralize the state and deprive the former viceroyalties of their autonomy. The Black Sea region, the Baltics, and several other regions populated by ethnic and religious minorities provided men for the Tricolor Army. |
|||
The Vossatanists consolidated their power by enacting several social, martial, and economic programs, alleviating the worst effects of the famine and the economic crisis. Using authoritarian methods against dissenters and insurgents, they managed to confine the Parliamentarians to southern Russia by the summer of 1926. The Parliamentarians appealed to the Ottomans and the United Kingdom for assistance, but were given no response except for Finnish revolutionaries in the far north. By the winter of 1927, notable figures of Parliament left the country. By March of 1928, all major insurgencies had ceased. |

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]]. |
