How is the White Russian movement (civil war faction) and White Γ©migrΓ©s viewed in present-day Russia ?

After the fall of Soviet Union, did the White movement have proper legacy and reception within Russia ? Like are they monuments or memorial ceremonies honouring members of the White Russian Army in present day Russia ? How do common Russians and Russian Government view them today ?

This OTL figure would be perfect for the Kaiserreich-verse: Boris Skossyreff, White Russian Γ©migrΓ© to adventurer to king

Boris Skossyreff was an incredibly ambitious man, possible Russian nobleman, who nearly became king. His story starts out with him as a Japanese translator for the Russian Military Mission for the UK, where he fled to as a White Russian Γ©migrΓ©. At least until he was until had been arrested for cheque fraud. Afterwords, he moved to Andorra where he attempted to embed himself in the local government by proposing many administrative reforms, though he was rejected and eventually expelled.

That wasn't the end of him, however, as he decided that he would declare himself king of Andorra in 1934, styling himself King Boris I of Andorra, claiming that he was doing this on official behalf of the French monarchy... despite there not being a French monarchy in nearly a hundred years. He also simultaneously declared war on the Bishop of Urgell and Co-Prince of Andorra.

And from there it only gets even weirder: the General Council of Andorra unanimously voted in favor of the new monarchy, thus making his position official. They were even set to drafting a new flag for the country that would represent its monarchical status and a whole new constitution for it. France itself collectively shrugged and respected their decision.

It was not to be, though, as the Spanish police arrested and deported him, which was an issue at first become he refused to travel in third-class, for a king should only have fist class, until they physically forced him to leave anyway, where he dropped off the history books until he died.

This is only a brief summary. A longer, weirder account of him can be found here. Like the Bishop having him arrested because the King wanted to open up casinos which he considered "links to hell". And the most of the Andorran population actually supporting his ascension.

I know that its fairly unlikely, but it would be really cool if the Devs added him to the game. I feel like it'd be able to accomplish a lot in the Kaiserreich-verse.

How did White Russian Γ©migrΓ©s get out of Russia at the end of the Civil War?

The background of this question is that there is a figure in my family who used to tell a lot of dramatic stories from his younger days, but there was this gap in his stories that spanned the Russian Civil War up until he wound up in Paris. I've read about some of the chaos at Novorossiysk. Were there other scrambles to get out at the end? Any recommendations for good first-person accounts of unimportant soldiers in the conflict?

Why is Russia called the Russian Federation?

From my personal understanding Russia in 1991 went from the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic to the "Russian Federation" however my research does not really make it clear who came up with the name or if the concept existed as a idea years prior among the hearts and minds of White Γ©migrΓ©.

And my research found nothing on Russian anti communists talking about forging a Russian Federation, Not in any poem, literature, or statements from N.T.S or any Russian organizations that sought to bring down the communist system.

So i guess my question is why is Russia called the Russian Federation and not the Russian Republic?

History flips. Mobs kept mobbin. They begin taking out the top working-class heroes of the French Revolution.

Notice how I said Bourbon Restoration at the beginning? It's the returned rich, the Γ©migrΓ©s doing it. The red scarf is wealthy "guillotine chic" -- it's the red hat that was poor French Revolution wear

What happens to Vlasov if Germany beats the USSR?

In NSB you can capture Vlasov (the russian defector) as germany if the USSR is stalinist, but what happens to him if you win against the soviets? Historically he led the Russian Liberation Army which was made up of captured russian soldiers and generals and White Γ©migrΓ©. So it wouldn't make sense for him to just stay as a german general after the soviets are defeated, realistically he would either be executed or lead a german puppet state in russia.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hyperborea: The Gates to Madness (Part I)

https://preview.redd.it/pm476x516st71.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a62af8511ec7b397042280eef043e944f72fd1ca

Between the time when the nazis drank USSR,
and the rise of the sons of Russia, there was a state undreamed of.
And unto this, Velimir, destined to bear the nuclear crown of Hyperborea upon a troubled brow.
It is I, Dreamscripter, who alone can tell thee of his saga.
Let me tell you of the days of high insanity!

We all remember Aryan Brotherhood and Hyperborea as very memey and yet pretty empty unifiers of Russia. Something that looks sketchy and unfinished - and that is understandable, considering the whole ideas they are based on already are detached from reality. But is it possible to make Hyperborea and AB if not realistic, but plausible, while keeping the unique and highly radical style of those unifiers? I can say "yes" - and that is why I made that post.

I am aware that Aryan Brotherhood is being reworked right now - but when that rework was announced I already have almost finished that proposal. Considering all efforts that I have put into it, I decided it would be better to publish it rather then to throw it into a bin. After all, it still may provide ideas and some concepts.

Due to the limit of reddit on maximum characters in one post, that text was divided into two parts. Second part is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/q996nz/hyperborea_the_gates_to_madness_part_ii/

I - Hyperborean Theory

Theory of Hyperborea appeared a long time ago. Basing on ancient Greek myths about some wonderous country far on the north – β€œbeyond the northern wind” (which is the translation of "Hyperborea" from greek) – French astronomer, mathematician and freemason Jean Sylvain Bailly turned it into idea about β€œancient birthplace of civilization”. During the 19th century several other thinkers and esoterics, including Antoine Fabre d'Olivet, Joseph Alexandre Saint-Yves, William Warren and many others – and, probably most famous of them all, esoteric Elena Blavatskaya – transformed that idea to its modern form: idea about mysterious continent on the North Pole, that was a birthplace of all white – or aryan – race, which was highly advanced and civilized. According to that theory, long ago the climate was completely different, and the region of Arctic was actually much warmer – but at so

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
