Russia

Russia was a pre-conquest state on Earth. Russia can trace its history back over 1,000 years to the Kievan Rus, and has expanded east under the Russian Empire. In 1917, a communist revolution took place and overthrew the tsar, establishing the Soviet Union. The leader of this revolution, Vladimir Lenin, was a direct influence on Kan Kut'o hundreds of years later.

In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed dramatically, resulting in its constituent nations separating.

History since 2020 and collapse
In 2022, a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, one of the breakaway states, was launched, to disastrous results. Russia was sanctioned by most of the world and its economy suffered heavily. The following turmoil resulted in several of Russia's federal subjects breaking away.

Caucasus and Pontic Steppe
The Pontic Steppe was the first to leave the Russian Federation. The perennially separatist area of Chechnya was the first to leave, followed by Dagestan to its east and Ingushetia to its west.

The republics of Adygea, Karachay-Cherkessia, and Kabardino-Balkaria, as well as Krasnodar Krai, seceded to form Circassia.
