Bogdanov's Russia



In 1912, while the russian phisican and philosopher Alexander Bogdanov lives in an autoexile in France, the mysterious tzar's monk, Grigori Rasputin, dies assesinated (supposedly by a member of the Court, but probably motivated by foreign interests).

Bogdanov, known for his communist ideology, but also for his rivality with the Bolshevik leader, Vladimir Lenin; is called to replace Rasputin in the header of the Tsar's family.

The clever Bogdanov used this opportunity to take control of an unstable Russia, and carry out their unvelieable plans.

Another POD is William  II 's decision  to take charge  personally of  the international relations of  his Empire, priorizing his own familiar links over the interests of the most influential german people.
