Another Russia

Another Russia is a timeline where the unrest of the Dissenters March and Project 31 lead to a full-scale coup and the overthrow of Vladimir Putin.

2006
The Dissenters Marches escalate, various officials within the Russian government begin doubting the Putin Regime as he becomes more and more brutal and after respected Russian economic minister denounces Putin's crackdowns as violating the constitution. In Novorossiya, Nazbol volunteers shift the nascent nationalist state slowly towards the dissenters' cause. This also occurs in much of the army.

2007
Vladimir Putin is attacked by Liberal Democratic Party forces in the street. Zhirinovsky had begun to doubt the regime in 2006 and had secretly rallied his supporters for a Beer Hall Putsch style coup. Putin's forces descend on the LDP and virtually wipe them off the map, sending their scattering remnants towards the Naitonal Bolsheviks. In November, marches escalate and finally the chief of the riot police refuses to respond. The military finally sides with the revolutionaries as a small drizzle of guns and advisors comes in from the American embassy. Putin flees to his loyal enclave in Chechnya led by Ramzan Kadyrov. Meanwhile, the Idel Ural Movement joins the Dissenters. By January 2008, Another Russia has seized full control over the government, forming a coalition. Massive infighting occurs in Ukraine between pro-Putin, revolutionary, and Ukrainian forces. Putinite troops, driven from Russia, capture Kiev in a mad dash to survive. They are quickly destroyed in NATO intervention, leaving Revolutionary Russia, under the leadership of President Garry Kasparov and Prime Minister Eduard Limonov. This new government rushes to completely take over all government apparatuses of the old government. Limonov announces the Russian National Revolution and begins to consolidate power with the help of his nationalist allies. Frozen conflicts begin to reignite with the lapse in Russian pressure. Georgia launches an invasion of Abkhazia and south Ossetia, but Russia intervenes in the second Russo-Georgian War. Already facing heavy dissapproval from the west, the new Russia invades Georgia, nearing Batumi, before making peace with Georgia. This internationally agreed upon border and an end to Russo-Georgian tensions gave a positive image of this new Russia to the west.
