Hello, all. This is Solstron, the lead dev of the Second West Russian War and I will be bringing to you this week’s Dev Diary. This Dev Diary will cover some of the content being created in the Dreams of Federation update which aims to bring content to Vasily Shukshin’s Russian Federation.



**The Federation in the early 1970s**

Although the vast lands of Mother Russia have been united under the unifying banner of the Federation, this reunited land is not yet prepared to step forth and liberate the West from German oppression. Western Russia still hasn’t healed from the decades of warlordism and terror bombings by the Luftwaffe, the All-Russian Army is in dire need of modernisation and the Siloviks are still a major force in the newly formed and empowered Duma that seeks to halt the Reformist faction by any means necessary in order to maintain the corporatist system that for decades has benefitted them. President Shukshin will certainly have his hands full in his efforts to democratise the Federation.



**The Federal Duma**

While the All-Russian army fights in Iran, Finland and Central Asia, another war rages within the halls of the newly formed Federal Duma. Inspired by the Duma of the former Central Siberian Republic, the Duma of the Federation is split between the Reformist faction, led by President Vasily Shukshin and the Siloviks, led by Alexander Pokryshkin. Many reforms will require you to maintain both support and the majority in the Duma but be warned, although the Siloviks are out of power, does not mean they are powerless and they will do whatever it takes to keep their power. It will be up to you to make the Federation Truly United and Free.

Although a simpler form of government, you will still need to manage your majority, authority and support in both the House of Representatives if you wish to make Shukshin's dream of a free Russia a reality but do be warned, ignoring this could result in the Siloviks retaking power and leading to the collapse of both the Reformist movement and Shukshin's vision.

**The Reconstruction Era**

The story of Russia does not end with the recapture of Moscow. As the Germans are sent back West, it will be up to you to rebuild the broken lands of Eastern Europe and determine the destiny of the troubled region for decades to come.

Before the government can return home to their native Moscow, there is much that must be done. The West Russian Reconstruction Zone suffers from many issues that will need to be resolved before the Federation can return home. There exists a large language barrier between Western Russia and the Federation, the land is largely agricultural and the region has become war-torn because of the war of liberation from German tyranny.
