1918? that's a bit after the ww1. the civil war between reds and whites. now that i think of it, the modern civil war would be much more in the regime's favor. if we take today's russia for an example - the governmental structure are much more developed and backed by modern surveillance, with several power structures ( cop, omoh, ceha, etc) much more militarised and better-funded/equipped than the active army. however, if the ukr-rus conflict survivors were to join arms in a revolt, they'd have a fresh combat experience advantage over the feds. that being said, with information spreading at the speed of light, other countries can use the unrest as a chance for a power move. what do you think? is it possible for the regular people to get their country back in the modern day without other powers intervening? with tech and warfare far more advanced. not to mention nuclear threats. who will control the nukes after the revolt?
Russian Federation
