To the East! We March!

“A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.”
- Vladimir Lenin
“In this time of confusion, worry and uncertainty. What we need is an alliance. An alliance of the holy. An alliance of the faithful. An alliance of those who still follows the true creed. A Catholic alliance.”
-Prince Xavier of Bourbon-Parma

Supreme Soviet
“We can finally put his body in a proper place.” They slowly lowered the casket. “The father of the Russian revolution must be respected” The casket is now being covered by cement. The undertakers are now shaping the burial properly. Originally, they first planned to put the body on display but Lenin's body was already decaying when they found him in a graveyard just outside of Moscow.
“What about the others?” Bukharin asked. When he said the others, the other Bolsheviks captured during the previous civil war.
“As of now, a few. But there are a lot of familiar names.” Genrikh Yagoda replied while shuffling the papers “It's all here in the records. Good thing that the Okhrana were organized. Names, date and time of the death sentence, which cemetery...” he showed the papers to Bukharin
“Give me some names that whose corpse were found?”
“Comrade Mikhail Kalinin and comrade Iosif Dzhugashvili too name a few. We will all bury them properly with honours, comrade.”
The workers were putting the final touches on the new mausoleum. This mausoleum will be visited by millions of Russians.
“All of the senior members of the party are gone then”
“I'm afraid yes” Yagoda looked away “Only the lower ones got the life sentence. We already freed them all and gave them the best care that we could.”
He then thought to himself “we tried to rescue them but... I guess it's better that they're now dead.”
The mausoleum is redesigned two times later. This granite mausoleum still stands today.

6th June, 1936
The HQ was busy. The new armies that were inherited from the Imperial forces was both gift and a liability. The Red Army grown a probably ten times its size in an instant and they need to rearrange the whole army's organisation. The nearest ones to be deployed over there to defend the border were turncoat Czarist soldiers. These could prove problematic as the Soviet army in the west are now being transported towards Chelyabinsk. Using the Trans-Siberian Railway, hundreds of thousands were transported towards the front. They finally gave him an estimate. After one month, the first ones will arrive and another month for the last ones. Tukhachevsky groan at the figures, they couldn't defend the border.
“Sir, we got good news. One of the officers have contacted us that there are 9 strong Imperial divisions nearby, they already talked to them. The commanders have immediately surrendered their armies and are willing to fight for us!”
“That's brilliant! How long is their distance?”
“They could go at the front for at least a week.”
A smile went out of his face. That will be enough to hold the Siberians for a month.
The Trans-Siberian railway spans from Moscow to Vladivostok. It will be put to the limit with the weight of the Red Army approaching Siberia.

5th June, 1936
An aide approached chairman. he handed four folders to him. Bukharin after sorting out the paperworks, opened the folders. One is from Tukhachevsky, it's a report with a couple of AARs attached with it. The report indicates that, after 4 months of fighting, the Red Army is improving but the goal is still far from reach. The officers are still on the drawing board and still testing. The field marshall remains positive that the experience from the battles against the Czarists and the future battles against the Siberians will help on developing a proper fighting doctrine for the Red Army.
The second folder was from the newly established Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The folder signifies that the implementation of using mechanical devices on collectives farms has now began. The details were all mentioned in the report. From the types of machines that will be used to it's distribution to the farms and later gather feedbacks about the said project.
The another one was from Kaganovich from the Ministry of Armaments, the report displays the upgrading of troop quality (just the design for now, not the implementation) meaning, each troop will receive a better training, clothes and equipment. Kaganovich also includes in the report about the creation of a proper sub-branch of military police in the army.
He opened the last one. It's from Litvinov. It has been gathered that Prince Xavier has invited Catholic nations into some alliance. So far, the sources have said that it was just an economical partnership. Although it is possible that it could evolve into a military alliance. Bukharin read on. According to the report, Ireland, Portugal and North Italy, which is the Papacy, have accepted. On the other hand, Austria has decline the invitation, prefers to still in German sphere. There aren't any formal treaties yet to make this alliance official.

Moscow. 7th June, 1936
The Kremlin Palace was full with guests. All of the foreign guests were, of course, from the International. Representatives from each Socialist nation or movement were present to recognize the Soviet leadership as the legitimate government of Russia. Outside the Red clique however, Soviet Russia is still an outcast. That didn't matter to Bukharin as he steps into the huge room admitting the huge assembly.
“Comrades, welcome! Here we celebrate the defeat of the ruling class. Those forces who continues to preserve the oppressive order. They are now gone! Then at the same time, we, of course, celebrate the victory of the working people.
We cannot be happy with what we have right now. It would be seem selfish that we will stay like this. We are free but the workers from our neighbouring countries are not. That is unacceptable. We liberate the former Czarist lands. No, not just the Russian lands of 1918 but all the lands of Russia. From Poland and Finland to Mongolian and Manchuria. We will export the revolution and liberate all of the oppressed of Eurasia!”
Some were shocked. Publicly saying such things could make Japan and Germany more uneasy.
“Enjoy the evening and have a great time.”
