So, you remember Rule the Waves, right? Good. Because we're not doing that. We're playing Crisis in the Cremlin...

purge all jews ASAP

He did the right thing. Mentioning other boards is a bannable offense.

And off we go. Our first choice. Odd, usually there's more background events. Guess they only trigger if we start in 1985.

Looks like I shouldn't have mentioned other boards. You can always look up developers' changelog on Steam.

...

Can we just multiple or just one?

Just one, as the choice will determine the leaning of the ruling party. Oh, and the choice was Romanov. Hint: going full liberal is a bad idea, AFAIK.

You have only two good choices. Guess which.

Going full stalinist?

If Reformist is just economic reforms, then reformist. Otherwise conservative.

Good choice. Can we save the Eastern Block or is it railroaded to convert?

I'd go reformist. All the others are too lefty for me.

We can save it, provided we make the right decisions.
Special Comission for economic reforms under Abalkin formed! Let's see if this was the right choice.

G U L A G

Here's how the interface looks like, by the way. Each turn is half a month.

CONGATULATIONS, YOU'VE PLAYED YOURSELVES

soviet_election.png

unlikely

I am crying and laughing at the same time.

BRAVO

The leadership was about 80% Jewish IIRC.

I'm just gonna save veryone some time and move on to the next event. Time for some (peaceful) political purging!

Remove Stalinists

No, remove conservatives. Go full Stalin

Ironic. Do it.

That was during the bolshevik era. Something that ended before the fall of the soviet union.

1990s Post-Soviet aliyah - Between 1989 and 2006, about 1.6 million Soviet Jews and their non-Jewish relatives and spouses, as defined by the Law of Return, emigrated from the former Soviet Union.[1] About 979,000, or 61%, migrated to Israel. Another 325,000 migrated to the United States, and 219,000 migrated to Germany.

Second biggest place for jews to run to was USA. Third Germoney.

Peacefully organise, otherwise you'll nurt yourself by making others angry. That and everyone that was worth purging is already gone.

Purge stalinists.

Actually, do this. Keep shit smooth until you can purge the moderates

No, Kill everybody

Purge Stalinists.

Made me giggle.

You can only pick one. This is Soviet Union, after all.

STALINIST PURGING STATUS: IN PROGRESS

Fuck, wrong image.

So we choose a party to support?

Thats retarded. At least ban the Stalinists

Meanwhile, let's adress our budget and weep bitter tears.

Well, it's more of a leaning. Remember, there is only one party - Communist party.

Repay debnts

Reduce bureaucracy. If it's not possible, then raise taxes.

Take out some loans

If we're gonna repay, then how much? Same question for the loans.
Meanwhile, here's our Spending Screens.

Put 30 into KGB, take out 30 for UN

...

...

Put 40 into religious organizations, 10 into cultural enlightement, 20 into atom technology. Take everything away from (((arts and films))) and put 30 into food.

No wonder this country's falling. Halve intellectuals, every diplomatic spending and (((cultural enlightenment))) whatever it is. Remove capitalist film import and invest into computerization, KGB, soldier's living and housing. Most options seem to be pointless honestly.

Done everything except
Because currently we have 0 money to spare. Also, raised the taxes by 2%.
Moving onto the next event.

A bit too late for that. Will do that next turn after the event.

Forget loan repayment, increase oil production by 30% and do this

If I'm reading this right we're losing 7 hundred million to corruption, but we're spending 70 hundred million to fight against corruption.

Decentralize.

Work with OPEC hajjis to keep oil prices high

We can adress this after the event. Both KGB and Corruption Fighting reduce corruption, but each one differently. That's all I can say for now. I wonder if I should throw a Steam guide for this game your way.

Fucking arabs. Work with allies.

Decentralise the economy.
Rossiya too bolshaya.

Is it this one?
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=918552096
It has some helpful information.

Yep, this one. I wonder how comprehensive the Frenchie (this one steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=921262970 ant the other two) guide is.

Only Stalinists and Moderates seem to be not completely idiotic. Trotskyites are a joke, Conservaties are sitting ducks, Reformers and Liberals are literally CIA agents. Purge them all.

t. NKVD "Interrogator"
We are coming for you.

Right then, last vote to tip the scales. Decentralization or slowing down oil price drop?

Slowing down pil price drop

*oil

Try to slow down.

OH BOY GUESS WHO IS PISSED

Shit, guess we got the good option after all.
Fuck China

When do we reclaim rightful Tsarist Communist clay in the far east?

It hurts to read. I hope it's intentional to imitate "Яussiаи аксент".
Also fuck the West and the Maoist backstabbers. Your "Four Pests Campaign" led to 40 million pointless deaths.

It's a Russian game originally. I assume the translation was done by Russians.

Now might be as good of a time as any to introduce you to our Academy of Sciences, where GLORIOUS SOVIET SCIENCE is conducted and we pay science points andmoney to implement those breakthoughs. The hourglass means that we choose one of the paths and the second one becomes available later, while cross means that it's either or.
I do suggest we only plan for now, because this turn we didnt make any money. That means we'll be paying directly from our gold reserve.

Goddamned commies.

Kek

We either get some good agricultural methods so we don't have to rely on Ukraine for food or we scare the world shitless with hypersonic nukes.
For fuck's sake why is soviet internet so far down, next to walking on Mars?

Well that makes sense you need to be able to build a rocket before you put people in it.

Speaking of space…
NEW EVENT!

Why? Also I vote for selective breeding eugenics, lol, PCs and CCTV in that order. Space is a waste.

What choices?

Aaand I fuck up yet again.

Not when you have
3rd choice, worst case the debris hits us, best case it atracks our foes.

Probably due to the fact that our foreign relations worsened.

Start MIR2

2nd or 3rd, see if it lets you equip it with lasers or something along the way, I want to shoot the Columbia down again.

If we can afford it, further modernization to keep a cutting edge advantage is never a bad thing, so 3, unless it really can't be afforded. I assume the historical route would be 1 or 2, which will probably do us more good in the short term while damaging our capabilities in the long term.

It's literally 1986. So much has changed over two years? Voting for MIR-2, put some laser rays on it and show Reagan who's the boss. That film import money should be spent on cool weapons.

I though we were supposed to be self-sufficient.

Congratulations! Another decisive step towards the bright future! The laser rays are coming. Possibly. Probably.

...

And now, we take a look at our Council of Ministers. We've got 20 political power to spend and each minister costs 3 PP to install, so choose wisely.

...

...

Do we only get to pick one guy from each picture? New to this game.

Well, those are ministerial positions, I can safely say yes. One minister per position.

Avoid any who want to introduce western values or be friendly to USA or China.

This.
There is any kind of option to globally genocide Chechens too?

Gotcha. This is going off the assumption that I can only fill six ministry positions:

(In order of the pictures)
Party Course
Current Ruler or Party Course
Soldiers Living Standards
Soviet Education Style or Simplification
USA Restraint
Goods' production or Light Machinery
Army Strengthening or Fighting with West
Subsidies or Market Econ
Party Course
Moderate Reforms or Current Ruler
Economic self management
Direct Interference

Can you be a bit more specific? What minister for which position do you want me to put?

fuck yeah, man i do love this game and the devs are constantly updaing the game, fixing bugs and adding more events, especially for endgame which im upto.

Heres a picture from my game, year 2010 and the Second Cold War is in full swing, the CSTA (Collective Security Treaty Alliance led by USA with President Trump in power) vs USSE.

It Depends user, gotta be careful as some ministers will bleed the country financially with policies they pick, want me to pick some out for you?

Yeah, green = position
red = minister to fill above position
from my post here

Is it worth the five bucks on steam or is there a better place to buy it user? Also, is there a Third Reich simulator anywhere?

Just to clarify, options that are greyed out cannot be picked at the moment. Not with the current policies, that is.

In my opinion, YES! one of the best five bucks ive spent on gaming in a while, check Kinguin and g2a for keys for the game as they have it pretty cheap last time i checked.

Third Reich wise? none that i know of, but the devs for kremlin are working on adding Right Wing events for the game, it has a base for it but it leads nowhere, letting the economy go towards capitalism, going democracy then voting back into dictatorship turns the USSR right wing.

NazBols are ingame, but as stated earlier they dont do anything yet as there are no events ingame for it.

That makes sense. What does red mean?
Rephrasing my choices
Intelligence Directorate
Ministry of Industry
Ministry of Defense
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Ministry of Internal Affairs

Red outlines are selectable options, black outline is chosen person/button, gray is either selected or unavailable.

White with red borders - available for this position.
White with black borders - currently occupying that position.

And now, with the positions approved, we move on to the next event. PLANNING!

Just downloaded it, which difficulty is harder, Hard or Solzhenitsyn? (defaulting with those two because achieves can be opened in them.)

In order from lowest to highest difficulty: 19Q4, Utopia, Normal, Hard, Solzhenitsyn.

Heh, solzhenitsyn it is.
Ride the tiger, fully expect to be lined up against a wall and shot by some faggot trotskyist.

Thats it.

Good luck comrade user, make Stalin/Trotsky proud! Also just beat them to the cake first, put them in a mass grave in siberia before they doit to you!

I ran over rebels with tanks in 1953. Bahahaahhaah. This'll be fun.

Reminder Dear Leader knows best.

Not really sure whether demands are high or low so lets just keep it the same for now.

Leave it the same, unlock the finance department and change your five year plan when you get the chance.

And the economy didn't come crashing down yet. Amazing!

Guess what? We're at DEFCON 3. I hope you've got a plan.

Detente, too early to saber-rattle.

build up the USSR before pissing off the USA too much.

US is of course the main threat.

Reagan the movie actor? Phwagh. USA main threat, Reagan no problem.

You absolute madmen.

Time for stats. Even with my limited experience, I can say that it's not pretty.

...

Heh. I just realized I can legalize Stalinists. This just got interesting.

Now, however, comes the time when I leave. It's 4 in the morning and I really want to catch some sleep. Worry not, I'll be back tomorrow at around the same time. We can finish our current campaign or start a new one, whatever you wish. Thank you all and see you later.

Goodnight comrade.

World Revolution is still going friend, also Spain is a Soviet Democracy.

CSTA is led by Trump who went full fascist, so the second cold war is going, President Trump will make Earth Great again.

Hehe. I'm trying to make Russia go full fascist too. If the game allows it, I'll find a way. Already put down some protestors over "muh authoritarianism."

Opie you need to bring the USSR into direct conflict with the west and ensure Mutual destruction via thermonuclear exchange in order to create the conditions under which true communism can exist

t. Posadist

You can but as i stated earlier it doesnt lead anywhere yet, youll just get some cosmetic button changes and thats it.

Trotskyists everywhere.

You can but as i stated earlier it doesnt lead anywhere yet, youll just get some cosmetic button changes and thats it.

Is it me or 8ch is shitting the bed again?

Yep, codemonkey must be fixing bugs.

Pretty sure it's just you

Bumping

Looks like 8ch is ok now, gonna dump a few screens.

I can't even imagine how this campaign would have turned out.

Either way NATO and the US collapses, with ron it happens immediately but with Trump it slows down until the CSTA forms.

Frig. Tough game. Is anyone else trying this on solzhenitsyn who's been able to make it to, say, 1987 at the very least?

start on easy and learn the game user, thats how i did it.

If only. The biggest thread to Trump's opposition so far has been feral Dodge Challengers.

Can anyone explain these three buttons and what the difference is between each, aside from changing the prospective budget? Also, how do you pass the budget through after you select all the ones you want to fund?

Left is heavy investment into research, middle is anti-corruption and law and order, right is maximum profit from the economy.

Gotcha. And how do you finalize the thing? Always feel random when I manage to progress the events along.

What do you mean finalize? the budget? allocate using the calculator into areas where you want investment and make sure you have 0 or as close to it as possible. dont put too much money into things as that helps boost corruption.

Gotcha, thanks bud. That just made game a billion times easier.

No worries fam. dont forget its always a good idea to retire opponents due to ill health.

Heh, no worries about that. Ironically had my best run on that svetzblatz difficulty as a Stalinist (run 2), so arranging their retirement will be a most simple matter.

Alright, OP is back and has a question for you - do you want to continue where we left off or start anew? Seeing as we significantly lag behind in industry, I suggest the second option. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide.

May as well start over I guess. We didn't get very far.

Alrighty, should I create a new thread for it or will you be fine inside the current one?

Let's use this one until we hit bump limit.

Once more into the breach. Most of you should know the drill by now, but just a quick reminder - we're back to the basics. Let's not cock it up, eh? Anyway, pick the starting year.

'85

85. What difficulty did you pick m80?

Normal, as usual (if this word is applicable in this situation). One more reply and we're good to go.

85

This time, the number of options is 100% bigger. Now, which horse will you back?

Romanov. No point having a USSR without Stalinists, it's like having Germany without nazis.

Gromyko

We need huge experience. We need Gromyko.

...

Number 4 it is then.

And now, pre-game events proper. Should we be soft, harsh or extra harsh? I do remember this is the year Papa Stalin died, but I can't remember if the uprising was before or after that.

Can't afford to lose control of the GDR. Extra harsh, if I recall correctly that's the historical course of events too.

For starvation, I say soft. Not trying to seize power, just hungry.

Harsh. We need to maintain control of our buffer sta- I mean allies.

Transfer of power to moderates. Consolidate moderate power.

Congratulations, your vote was the desicive one. I wonder if we installed Honecker or someone completely different.

Honecker was a relative hardliner, and his time was around like 1980, so probably not. This might lead to a neutral Germany, who knows.

Three years later, Hungary starts to boil over. We're Khrushchev now (try and pronounce that, special challenge for non-Russian speakers). Same options as previous choice though.
Fucking hell, is Holla Forums shitting itself again?

No failure on our part, just power hungry traitors?
Run them over with tanks.

Run them over and teach them what communism is about.

One more vote and we're running over Hungarians.

>tfw hung aryan irl
Roll them over with tanks. Losing a puppet state in this manner would lead to the loss of your sphere and would eventually lead to total collapse.

Who dares oppose glorious communism? Let's run them over with tanks.

UNANIMOUS VOTE! WE'RE UNITED IN OUR DISDAIN FOR HUNGARIAN REVISIONISTS!

Now we have jobs available to clean up the bodies, communism DOES work!

Uh oh the West is horrified! Better watch out or they might make some UN proposals at us.

Such is the fate of those who refuse socialism

TANK YOU FOR PLAYING

REV UP THOSE FEDORAS

Dunno what to do with this. Nothing really changed, I reckon.

Let them to be. Fedora propaganda would piss of your people and the Poles. Relaxing the laws would lead to more revolts.

It changes the percentage of religious people in USSR.

Who ever said that an opiate of the masses was a bad thing? Weaken religious policy so we can use it for our own gain.

Seeing that there is nothing to see, we just shrugged and said "Okay, moving on".

Strengthen atheism for shits and giggles. Also if you can, post all your screens in JPEGs. I don't want to download on shitty Internet many megabytes.

A bit too late for that. I will, however, try to post in all jaypeg. Meanwhile, Prague Spring!

Round 2? Roll in the tanks!

Army.

Send in the troops.

Send the army. Again. Teach that burning themselves for democracy means nothing.

You really like East Germany, don't you? Unanimous voting again! Also, "minimal casualties"? What did they mean by this?

Wasting valuable calories, this is not the communist way

Cowards, they all ran away. Get him Ivan!

Traitors to Bolshevism can't be victims.

I like your thinking user.

Also from a while back, my Gorby Dead event.

Wasted potato calories comrade. Execution for wasting food.

(((Liberman))) reforms. What could possibly go wrong?

First option looks good.

...

Partial support.

First or automation. Also send that kike into a gulag.

Fully pass them. A strong economy leads to a strong state.

Gas Gulag the kike. Proceed with OGAS instead, so automatisation.

Changing my vote to automatisation. OGAS sounds pretty cool. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS

Automatisation it is. A fine choice. Вкалывают роботы, счастлив человек!

And here comes the fun part. Perhaps we should consider investing into one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism yet?

East Germany best Germany. If its not a National Socialist led Germany, I would rather East Germany any time over whatever bullshit the west had to offer.

Peaceful space race.
We set up giant laser from moon to zap capitalist pig dogs later

Peaceful spess race. Will it give any bonuses towards technology, like that PC infrastructure project or something like that?

The race continues. Peaceful is fine as a secondary option, but I want armed space race for the memes.

Militarized space race will help boost science output as OGAS is the last requirement for True CommunismTM

Отлично! Soviet internet and computerized central planning is worth the wait.

Voting for armed conflict. Shoot down their spaceships mid-flight then claim the Moon as yours. Space communist moon station when?

fuck off leftardpol

Besides Israel, the only other Jewish state is within Russia.

Peaceful or militarized. Either are acceptable

Changing to military conflict then. Let those (((porkies))) fry on our intergalactic space pans.

Be patient.

We seem to have a tie. One last vote to decide the fate of our orbit!

That's technically true, but the current Jewish Autonomous Oblast is only 0.2% Jewish.

MILITARY SPACE RACE

Changing my vote from either (>>13311893) to militarized.

I prefer this version.

Could the economy sustain the war? It would be a shitty ending if we lost due to starving peasants.

Even one kike is too much. Work him to death.

S P A C E W A R W H E N

BATTLE SATELLITES

It can, if we're smart with the funds. Perhaps some finance juggling will be required.

BATTELITES

We WH40K now, all hail the God Emperor!

B A T T L E I T E S

*Muffled ALLAHU ACKBAR in the distance*

...

TRUE GOMMUNISM ONLY

Support our communist brothers! We need more satellites.

Do we support them as guerillas or as cabinet members?

Fuck the Ayatollah, sever and support communists.

Guerrilla warfare. Even the highest sacrifice is needed for (((true communism)))

Guerillas. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

I think the rebels will be wrecked. Support (((islamic socialism))) and hope they will be our useful idiots instead.

If we let Islam gain influence, we'll be the useful idiots.

...

Not pictured: armed moderate rebels.

If we get the option to support Saddam then supporting the rebels will be worth it.

Fugg

I knew it. Fuck the Islamists. Invasion when?

Nyoro~n

Reminder that this chart was made by a bulgarian

Ah, Vysotsky. Soviet Union's best bard. Give a try to his songs, you won't regret it.

Linkin Park for edgy teenagers. I say ignore it.

Eh, he'll be dead soon anyway. Let him criticize.

This sounds like a bad choice but I vote for this one. Also thanks for those yaypegs user.

Unimportant in the grand scheme. Leave him alone.

No need to crack down on everything. Leave him be.

Let him be. Banning him would cause an outrage.

Another unanimous vote. So far you seem to like East Germany, music and East German music.

No problem, user.

Worrying.

Oh hey, didn't this one escalating was featured in Wargame: European Escalation? Pretty sure that's the one.

Massive debt and a clueless leader? Transfer to moderates, they can handle the liability.

Transfer power.

The army would do shit, transfer the power to moderates.

Moderates. Tanks can't solve a debt crisis. Yet.

Again? I would say tanks, but this time it wouldn't help. The army will be sufficient.

Can anyone of you anons download the whole thread and upload it to mega. This thread is very comfy and I'm phoneposting atm.

Let's hope Jaruzelski knows what he's doing. We did install him, right?

Does archive.is not work anymore?

Not that I don't like archive, but link rot and removal of content is something I want to avoid. Especially when shit is getting shut down.

Oh, Samantha. You didn't had to die like this. Maybe this time will be different?

She has a bright future as a Soviet sleeper agent. Recruit her.

Invite as tourist.

Let's see what happens if we try to recruit her.

She could be used as an useful idiot. Recruit her. We want war.

Recruit her and have her train at the olympic gymnast farm.

>the real samantha died in a (((plane crash)))
I would vote tourism, but recruit seems so much fun. She will lead the revolution in the future.

At best she'll go squeaky fromme mode, but that's only with Jewish blood.

Goddamnit, we lost her. WILL YOU STOP AT NOTHING, YOU MURDEROUS MONSTERS?!
Here is the point where we stop for today. Due to circumstances out of my control. Worry not, I'll be back tomorrow and we'll keepthis train chugging.
До свидания и спокойной ночи, товарищи!

F

F
See you tomorrow.

I hope there will be an event about Mathias Rust.

Meanwhile, feel free to skim over the guides posted in the thread. Some amount of consideration must be put into this game.

F, my little angel. Мы будем выиграть против империализма. Добрый вечер, товорищ!

F.
Она полетала не так хорошо. Кто станет следующим?
She didn't fly so good. Who is going to be next?

oh shit this thread is still alive

is it still going?

Yep. We might ditch it soon though, seeing as we're close to bump limit.

Damn ok, im the other Kremlin player from earlier in the day, want me to make a new thread and do a lets play while your out comradeOP?

Why not? No idea if alternating was ever tried before, but I'm willing to give it a try. You have my blessing. See you later.

Ill start a new thread then, later fam.

How superfluous.

New thread lads, help me build communism!
