Justinian the Mighty Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) With Slavorussian oblasts regaining independence from the NC fallowing Slavorussia finds itself in dire need of a strong and capable leader to bring new light to the country. The murder of former Slavorussian Premier only minutes after he signed a document that effectively surrendered the entire Slavorussian Empire and all its assets to NC invaders, has created a void in the Slavorussian government. German investigators officially classified the Premier’s death as a suicide, caused by the failed defense campaigns in the north and southwest. One official comment was that, “Mr. Belyakov‘s inability to lead the country and the reality of his impending arrest and trial for crimes against the Slavorussian people drove him to murder his wife and himself. Case closed.” Vladimir Belyakov, had a long and distinguished career serving his country, but his life was cut short before he could peform his greatest duty as head of the Imperial Government. He had served as Deputy Premier to former Premier Viktoryia Kolesnikov. When Lady Kolesnikov resigned, for health reasons, just one day before Slavorussia was invaded, Primier Belyakov was left to defend the honor and integrity of not only Slavorussia, but all of Europe. His untimely death has left the government without a strong leader, but several newcomers have announced their candidacy for the vacant office in the wake of German withdrawl from Moscow. One of these men is Dmitry Medvedev. A relative newcomer to the Slavorussian political scene, Medvedev was elected to 1 term in the Imperial State Duma in 2000. He was later appointed to several positions within the executive branch of government, including Deputy Prime Minister, in early April. Born in St. Petersburg in 1965, if elected Medvedev would be the youngest man to serve as Prime Minister in over a century. Running as a Liberal-Democrat, Mr. Medvedev seems to be the most likely choice for to fill the office. Prominent Slavorussians like, Prince Andrius Radziwill of Lithuania, Former Premier Viktoryia Kolesnikov, and several members of the Imperial Family have publicly endorsed Mr. Medvedev and made contributions to his campaign fund. Medvedev’s main competition in the upcoming emergency election is the Communist party’s Gennady Zyuganov. A devoted communist and one of the country’s most outspoken Anti-Nordic Confederacy proponents, Zyuganov aims to restore the people’s faith in the government. While many of his campaign promises are similar to Medvedev’s, he says the difference is “He (Medvedev) is a rookie, he has no idea how to run a government. I have nothing against Mr. Medvedev, but he‘s just not experienced enough to run this country during what is definitely its darkest hour.” With a very short time to campaign both candidates are going to have to work hard in the next few days to really stress the core values of each campaign platform, a task that is easier said than done.

Justinian the Mighty Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Liberal-Democrats Candidate: Dmitry Medvedev Slavorussia’s Liberal-Democrats favor liberal positions. Candidate Medvedev and his party favor laborers and labor unions, much of there recent legislation was aimed at these two groups. Medvedev is opposed to unregulated business and finance, support the progressive income tax laws. He believes the it’s the government job to work toward ending poverty and social injustice. If elected Deputy Medvedev plans to overhaul the social security system, patching the holes left by former administrations for decades. That includes streamlining the healthcare system to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy. He also supports new government funded programs aimed at improving the nations education system, and giving tax cuts to universities who accept a wide variety of ethnic students. Medvedev says his foreign policy will change dramatically compared to past administrations. He says he will end the “ethnic alliances” Slavorussia has been so accustomed to take part of in the past, fearing ethnic alliances only lead to wars, ethnic cleansing and violent retaliatory attacks from the loosing party. However when questioned if he had any plans to build relationships with Nordic nations, Mr. Medvedev did not comment. Communist Party of the Slavorussian Empire Candidate: Gennady Zyuganov Like the Liberal-Democrats the Communist Party favor liberal positions. They are self-proclaimed friends of the proletariat, heroes of the working class, and enemy of the bourgeoisie and Aristocratic class. Although small the communist party is appealing to the strong Anti-Nord sentiment burning throughout the country. Gennady Zyuganov, the party leader, believes the government should control all trade and business within Slavorussia, and then equally and fairly distribute the wealth to the citizens. Zyuganov describes his foreign policy as “tough but necessary.” He says if elected he plans on putting pressure on western nations to take action, real action to preserve the smothered cultures of Europe from being eliminated by enemies of freedom and peace. When asked who were the enemies he referring to he simply stated “Nordland.” Zyuganov’s says that Nordland is watering down the continent’s cultural and historical identity with a quasi-Germanic ideology that has no place in most of the regions Nordland has conquered, Slavorussia most of all. Both candidates agree that the key issues are national defense, especially in the wake of the invasion. Both Medvedev and Zyuganov say they can strengthen national defense measures, expand the army, air force and navy, while keeping government spending at reasonable levels.

Justinian the Mighty Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Communist party candidate Gennady Zyuganov, has taken some heat from his own party today for his comments about the NC occupation of Slavorussia. Mr. Zyuganov told Channel One reporters during a press conference that, “They (Nordic Confederacy) are animals, devoid of any human emotion or any sense of integrity. They‘ve brutally murdered hundreds of thousands of Gebivans, Andonians, Alvonians and Slavorussians for their own purposes.” He later stated that Novak and the Eastern Reich are puppet states created by Germany and other Nordic powers as an attempt to oppress millions of Slavorussians. He even went as far as to call Nordic leaders, “demons who plague the world with their evil and backward ideas.” Several communist party leaders who were also at the press meeting were visually uncomfortable while they listened to Zyuganov’s rant about Nordland, some even left the room. Communist leaders later asked him to retract his comments, and offer an apology to the Nordic people, Mr. Zyuganov outright refused. He says he’s not the least bit sorry for his comments. He’s only stating what other everyone in the country, and much of the world is thinking, and to offer an empty apology would just be more of in insult.

Justinian the Mighty Posted May 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 The Slavorussian Imperial Flag once again flies proudly above the Ancient Moscow Kremlin, on the flagpole of the damaged palace. Around the fortress and throughout Red Square thousands of Slavorussians eagerly await a victory speech from their new Premier, Dmitry Medvedev. Premier Medvedev’s victory was a sign to many that Slavorussia was on the right path to recovery. Before the new premier takes the stage the is played, while on giant television screens digital versions of the Imperial Flag are proudly displayed. As the anthem finishes playing Premier Medvedev walks onto the stage. Sitting behind him are the Empress Regent and the rest of the Imperial Family, cabinet ministers, party leaders and the heads of the houses of Parliament. Premier Medvedev wastes no time getting to his speech. “Thank you, everyone! Today we have a fresh start, with a clean slate with new goals to reach. I’m very proud of this country tonight, and everyone who came out today to vote. During this election we had the highest percentage of voter turn out in decades. I think that sends a message to the world, and to our enemies that even though we are bruised and bloody, we are stronger than ever. We will not be defeated, or destroyed, because we believe in our collective might. While the rest of Europe is shrouded in darkness, oppressed by fascist dictators and their puppet states we will remain the bright shining star of democracy and freedom, and no force shall ever diminish that brightness. Tonight we can stand strong even in the face of adversity, we have proven anyone out there who wishes to do harm to us that the powerful voice of the mighty Slavorussian people cannot be silenced! Slavorussia was targeted for attack, because of our love of freedom. Our burning desire help spread freedom to every corner of the world, and share with every man and woman on the planet the God-given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our nation was confronted with evil, the very worst aspect of mankind. Without warning or just cause our country was violated by our enemies, and abandoned by our allies. The only nations to answer the call for help were those who’s love of freedom and democracy equaled ours. Our thanks goes to those brave foreign soldiers who fought bravely on the battlefields to defend one of the last beacons of freedom in Europe, and even after we had left the fight, they continued the mission for us. I’m speaking of course of Communist International, our allies in the former Northern Empire, Azerbaijan, Beijing Corp and Bosporan. Thank you to our other allies in the Melvin Republic, Glorious Aotearoa and Crimea Iso. It’s countries like these that keep hope alive in a cruel and unforgiving world. These countries had one thing in common, they dedicated themselves to a country thousands of miles away for one purpose, preservation of peace and freedom. Your contributions were not in vain, though the way may have been lost, the ideals for which you honorably defended were preserved. I won‘t sugar coat the situation, I wont try to confuse you or trick you into believing something that isn’t true. The truth is that the road ahead will not be easy to travel. With 90% of our territory occupied and our resources taken from us, recovery is going to be difficult. We also can’t continue to just rely on our allies in Russia, our destiny is now in our own hands, and what we do with it must be entirely up to us. The burden is ours and our alone, that’s why every Slavorussian, whether free, or occupied must stay strong. In the coming months Slavorussia will be transformed from 3rd world hunk of land we have been transformed into by our enemies, back to a 1st world economic and cultural powerhouse. I know we can do this, because we have overcome trying situations in the past. We survived the Time of Troubles, through two Bolshevik revolts, we survived the Soviet and Fascist rule in Slavorussia, and we will do it once more. The world will see the strength of our resolve and our enemies will tremble at our undying unity! Our national defense is the main concern of the government, to ensure the crimes of the past are never again carried out against the Slavorussian people. We will employ new military technologies for the defense of our borders, and the people living inside our borders. Our soldiers will have top line equipment at their disposal. We will call on the international criminals to answer for their crimes, and serve justice to these enemies of humanity. The enemies must be taught peace cannot be forced through gunpoint. Using tact and diplomatic prowess is the only way to create and preserve a long lasting peace. Forced peace is not real peace. Forced peace only leads to devastating vendettas that claim innocent lives in the process. The task ahead of us will offer new and exciting challenges. At times when it seems too hard to keep going, we will march onward. No obstacle will get in our way, no challenge will slow us down. The determination of the Slavorussian people demands that we succeed in our goals. It’s because of that determination that our empire grew to such heights, and it’s why our people are so proud. As long as we are united and strive toward a common cause we cannot be destroyed. As a single and unbreakable union let us march on into the dark unknown and bring light to those who live in the blackness. Good night, and God bless the Empire!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynneth Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 *A message to Slavorussia* Greetings. Despite differences between our two countries - Canada being Rational Communist, Slavorussia being Liberal Democratic - Canada would like to extend an offer of rebuilding-help to Slavorussia, in the form of monetary and material aid. While we obviously cannot send as much as we'd like - we are planning to build a moonbase and in the middle of preparations - we can send aid worth about 500-1,000 million per year (OOC: ~1 IRL-month in my scale). You will not have to pay us back in any way or form, other than a solid friendship. Regards, Angela Merkel, Chairwoman of Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Molakia offers its F1 Fighter to support Slavorussian Defense. While based on an older Design, the F1 is made for Defense, carrying more countermeasures against missles at the expense of manuverability and speed. Perfect for defending against higher tech planes, as the F1s low cost means you can buy to outnumber easily. We also offer various small arms to Slavorussia.
