Description
In the Russian Exiles path, despite having done the Approach Semyonov focus, Grigory Semyonov is not available as an advisor after reloading the saved game. I have had this problem on both 1.11.4 and the current version of the 1.11.5 beta. The attached screenshot is from my 1.11.5 game (with attached save); the focus tree of that game should show Approach Semyonov completed. Note Semyonov is in use as a general.

In my previous 1.11.4 game, I had hired Semyonov as an advisor successfully before saving and quitting, only to find that he was booted from the government - and not rehirable - when I checked back a while after reloading.

I have some suspicion that this is a more general character problem, since in the same game AI Turkey has locked itself out of its focus tree due to having started the Etatism path but not having Ismet Inonu as an advisor. Falangist Spain having issues with "Primo de Rivera is not the current country leader" might or might not be related to this. However, the only example I've personally confirmed is Russia with Semyonov.

Both of these examples occurred in Ironman saves saved locally (i.e. not to the cloud); I rarely play any other configuration. Also, in both of these examples I played from the beginning of the game to some point past the Approach Semyonov focus (in fact, to some point past the start of the Civil War) in the first session, without quitting and reloading. In the most recent one I first exited and later reloaded in the middle of the civil war. Just in case it's somehow relevant, in both cases I started the civil war by successfully completing The Hands Do, not by having Stalin's Paranoia rise above 90%.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Play as the Soviet Union, and go down the Exiles path. It may be necessary to do this as an Ironman game and/or with local save file.
2. While preparing for the Civil War, complete the Approach Semyonov focus. It may be necessary to do all this in the first session without saving, quitting, and reloading the save.
3. Continue preparations and start the Russian Civil War (by completing "The Hands Do" focus). It may be necessary to do this still within the first session.
4. Check whether Grigory Semyonov is available as an advisor. Optionally, hire him.
5. At some point after (4), save the game (automatically done on Ironman) and exit.
6. Restart the game and load the saved game.
7. Check whether Grigory Semyonov is available as an advisor.

Oh, forgot to mention in the original report: after I reload a save, every modifier that comes from a character now has no character name listed. E.g. Fascist Britain's Oswald Mosley war support debuff, on my first session will say "Oswald Mosley: -30%" (or whatever it's at after however many focuses I've done), but after reloading will just say ": -30%" (again, or whatever value it's at). This applies to stability, political power gain, and I think consumer goods factories, among others. Given that both of these are "something involving characters doesn't work properly after reloading a save", I suspect they're related.
