Description
As Germany, going down the democratic path, I need to complete 'Bulwark Against Bolshevism' and 'The Great Red Menace' focuses to progress down the Democratic path. But Soviet Union AI went down the non-aligned path, igniting a civil war, making the provisional government the de-facto real Russia, making them the target of focuses, not the soviet side. But 'The Great Red Menace' has a requirement for Russia to have the ruling party be communist. Even though all the flavor text, focus names change to represent the change in Russia to be non-aligned, that requirement did not go away, which locked me out of the rest of the democratic path, since I cannot complete that focus.

Steps to Reproduce
Start as Germany.
Oppose Hitler.
Go democratic.
Have Soviet Union go down the Non-aligned Path.
Russian Civil war starts.
Focus is locked.

It sucks, but it makes sense that you can't do the great red menace when there is no great red menace

But the focus will change name to The great eastern menace or something and the flavor text in the focus itself will change from Communist threat to Russian Imperialism Threat. Yet the requirement stays the same.

Yeah, that's pretty dumb, but Great Eastern Menace wouldn't really make much sense anyway.

What would make sense is not to check if the country is Russia, but if there is a communist major country. That way you could also go down the path after France flips communist.
