Oh, there’re swastikas even in the anarchist focus tree? This mod sure is a dark one
It's actually an anti-swastika measure, unfortunately.

Yeah.
On another note, I have an announcement to make. I'm hoping to get this AAR wrapped up soon - there's a save-breaking patch releasing on the 27th. But afterwards, I'm planning on doing another TNO AAR. It'll definitely be another Russian one.

Somehow, I think the truth will be more complicated.
Just a year ago, half of Siberia was under the rule of a military junta with a monarchist façade. We must not forget these people.
If anarchism is inherently doomed, why does it rule from Novosibirsk to Magadan?
It always comes back to Jews. You know that if it wasn’t for the Jews, you wouldn’t have bagels! Or hamburgers! Or this AAR!
Although I have to admit, this President Glenn seems pretty cool.
Capitalism works great for those on top.
This is why Stepanov failed.
We are ready. With the deployment of our newest tank divisions, we can easily overwhelm Colonel Onoprienko’s forces while still being able to fend off the Ordosocialists. In 75 days, we go to war.
At the same time, we must root out the poison that has seeped into the veins of the Black Army.
As the people command, Yuri acts.

Good chance of it. Right now, I'm debating between Komi, Samara, Omsk, Magadan, or the Divine Mandate of Siberia.
I've finished it, actually. At least, I've finished the Russia portions. It's just a matter of uploading them. I'll try to get the whole thing done today.

We will give those who abused their power a chance to redeem themselves.
We now have a skilled workforce that is the envy of the world!
This piece speaks for itself.
For anarchists, this is often the most vexing question.
Yuri’s instinct is to destroy the Council…
…but it is better to let it remain, although with less power than before.
Our military technology continues to advance. I present to you, the T-70 Makhno Main Battle Tank.
With the Black Army reorganized, it is time to liberate Kazakhstan.
The RNSR has opted to intervene… against Kazakhstan. They seem to be hoping to secure Kazakhstan before we can!
While we can almost certain prevail against the Ordosocialists with our existing forces, taking on Germany, Japan, Burgundy, and maybe even America will require more. The time has come for us to develop our own nuclear weapons.

This event is startlingly on the nose…
If you're taking suggestions, I'd be interested in seeing a Bukharina play through. (Although you may want something other than libsoc for variety's sake)
Not Bukharina. The Komi game I'd like to do would be Zhdanov. It also comes with a fun title: UltravisionAARy Socialism!
Fair enough. I would read anything.
Meanwhile, let's hope for a swift victory over the Kazakhs. Then onto those damned Ordosocialists.
The war is progressing well. The decision to rely solely on our mobile divisions was a good one. The few Kazakh divisions we are facing pose no real obstacle.
The chaos of the Middle East has spread to Iraq.
And now the Syrian Republic has declared war against the Italian-backed Lebanon and South Syrian governments. That will likely bring in Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Jerusalem.
The consequence of all these wars? An oil crisis!
It does feel good to be in Siberia right now, which is NOT dependent on foreign oil.
It seems Chairman Onoprienko chose to surrender to Premier Serov rather than us. Our troops will have to withdraw to the prewar border.
(Honestly, this is something I hope gets fixed. The proper outcome in this scenario should be a partition of Kazakhstan, not us giving up huge swathes of terrain).
The economic shockwave has reached the Reich.
In the aftermath of the Kazakh War, we should take a good look out who we will be fighting next year. The National Soviet Army has somewhere between 41 and 70 divisions, including leg infantry, motorized, and mechanized units (we currently have 63 divisions). They do not appear to have any proper armored units.
Unlike our previous foes, the RNSR actually has an air force. However, not only is the National Soviet Air Force much smaller than our own, with somewhere around 300 planes where we have well over a thousand, but their planes are all still prop-driven. Our jets will easily sweep them from the skies.
So, here’s the deal. All the Russian warlords share a gameplay mechanic for developing nuclear weapons, starting with theoretical development, acquiring uranium, refining it, and finally constructing a nuclear device. Following this path guarantees that you will eventually develop nuclear weapons… sometime in the mid-70s.
However, the Siberian Free Territory has another option. Basically, instead of just letting the scientists handle it, they can crowdsource a nuclear weapons program. This has a high chance of failure, but it can also produce results much sooner (although neither path actually gives you a nuke you can use in game, which is just as well, because deploying nuclear weapons means the end of the world).
If I were trying to be optimal, I’d take the former path. But for this AAR? There’s no choice. Let the people have a say in how nuclear weapons are developed!

Crowdsourcing nukes is absolutely the way this feels like it was always fated to end.
Big shame about Kazakhstan. If you weren't about to declare war on the RNSR anyway I'd be tempted to console it (if that is an option? don't know how that works in HOI but I guess it can be done), but I suppose it isn't the end of the world in the scheme of things.

The nuke crowdsourcing storyline was by far one of my favorite parts of the SBA playthrough. It's one of those things that's so stupid it's brilliant.

Hmm, how skilled a player are you? It'd be cool if you did one of the tougher ones then. You were thinking West Russia, right? I'm guessing the AB is out of the question for VERY obvious reasons. I haven't seen many folks do stuff with Samara, so that could be interesting.
Samara is on the list, although they're not particularly difficult from what I've heard. AB is out, as is Amur.
The key to a successful anarchist society is everyone helping everyone else. That applies to the development of nuclear weapons. We will find those with useful knowledge in every commune.
I only just now realized that Syria was in a faction. The Arabian Republic has invaded the Levant.
I have converted one of our infantry armies to mechanized infantry. We don’t yet have enough equipment to convert the other, but now most of our army is mechanized.
*insert spiderman pointing meme*
The Arabians advance.
And advance.
And advance.
Another faction falls.
The hope of two thousand years, dashed again.
(screenshot missing, but they conquered Jerusalem)
OK, where the hell are the Italians?

To break the chains of tyranny, we must start at the subatomic level.
We will acquire the knowledge needed to build a nuclear weapon by visiting the various communes. Each commune will give us a choice. Hopefully, I remember which are the right choices!
All for one, and one for all.
One cannot find plutonium in a mine, silly!
If we cannot trust each other, we will surely fail. Also, you live in fucking Norilsk, so you probably have brain damage.
(Seriously, Norilsk is messed up)
This one seems like an easy choice. Also, we should probably look into the Kemerovo junction. That area produces most of our coal.
But companions, is not nuclear fission classist?
Scientists are not the only ones involved in developing nuclear weapons. Others have their own expertise.
The next level of ground attack plane is here: the MiG-27 Archangel.

Reminds me of a Japanese communist text I once saw that justified the country's imperialism on the basis that Japan was in the 'proletariat of nations' and that colonisation was therefore class war.

The Baathists have nearly won. All that remains is Kurdistan.
Very important, considering the current efforts.
Some people clearly do not see the wisdom of our current path.
Iraq has fallen to fascism.
Succeeding the Ravager, I present the Yak-28PP Reaver.
This is not the time…
If we actually used these weapons, it would mean the end of the world. That would not be good.
All in means all in…
We are ready for the final Unification War.
They seem to think the same.
