It is featured in Call to Battle 2 as the setting for most Eastern Front maps.

History

The Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic succeeded the provisional government that was established after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. After a bloody civil war, the RSFSR became the USSR, encompassing multiple Soviet republics such as Ukraine and Byelorussia, instead of a single republic.

Following Vladimir Lenin's death in 1924, he was succeeded by Joseph Stalin. Stalin conducted the great purge, which saw the executions of several Communist Party members, high-ranking officials of the Soviet Army, and people deemed as "enemies of the state". The former became a key factor of Soviet casualties measuring in the thousands during Operation Barbarossa.

In September 1st, 1939. The Soviet Union along with Nazi Germany invaded Poland, partitioning it between the two and beginning the Second World War. Prior to the invasion, both countries signed a non-aggression pact that would later be violated by Germany's invasion of the USSR in mid-1941.
