Chapter 1 - Death of Kerensky
After the victory of the white forces in the civil war, Russia began a period of rebirth and heeling. Country desperately needed modernization and a new political system. It needed peace and stability. It needed security...However, president Aleksandar Kerensky didn't manage to provide any of those things to the people of Russia, or what remained of it.

Kerensky died minutes after the assault, and the death of Russian president shook the world. One that was not surprised was Dmitri Pavlovich Romanov, who saw the opportunity, and already made plans for his next move...
