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

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.

{{Main|The Great War}}

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 Muromsky era (1926-1943) ====

During Ozero Muromsky's tenure as chairman, the National Republic of Russia was governed based on a power-sharing agreement between the political Vosstanist class and the military, led by the Supreme Commander of the All-Russian Forces, Mikhail Orlov. Muromsky's primary focus was on reforming and building the institutions of national republicanism within Russia, while Orlov ensured the enforcement of these reforms and the suppression of any resistance. Throughout the 1930s, Muromsky successfully established National Republican control, effectively bringing the nation under Moscow's dominance by 1940, with numerous autonomous national republics and nominally-independent sister republics being established.

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.

===== Muromsky's economic reforms =====

Economically, Muromsky was heavily influenced by his close associate, [[Aleksandr Kuznetsov]], who developed the [[Kuznetsovian economics|Kuznetsovian economic school of thought]]. This economic philosophy shaped Muromsky's policies, which included trade restrictions through tariffs, protectionist measures, and a strong emphasis on self-sufficiency. One of the most significant economic measures taken during this period was the nationalization of key industries. The government assumed control of vital sectors such as steel, coal, and oil, aiming to centralize economic power and increase production efficiency. Under state control, these industries experienced a significant ramp-up in production, which contributed to the nation’s rapid industrial growth and self-reliance.
