A great rendition, but you need to show him swimming with horses, with no shirt or something crazy like that!!!

Good job on everything, and especially the face. You captured him perfectly.

Various extremists, mostly radical Islamist rebels from the Caucasus region. Russia in this AU also has got crisis regions in Turkestan and in what we know as Eritrea.

How advanced is russification in this universe?

It's quite strong within the core territories of the Empire. Poland and Finland are enjoying a large part of autonomy, so there is almost no Russification there by the beginning of the XXI century.

I can see this. Surprised he hasn't promoted himself beyond Lieutenant Colonel.

Well, lots of autoritarian rulers like to show modesty and humbleness in this sphere. Remember Hitler who stayed a Corporal? Of course I'm not saying that Putin is equal to Hitler (his regime is thousand times softer for sure), but the motivation of staying modest is the same here

Hitler appointed himself commander of the army in 1941 on top of already being supreme commander of the entire German military and SS. What modesty he DID have was not wearing a crazy uniform with a thousand medals on it like Goring did, despite having a large number of awards.

I spoke of ranks, not appointments Putin is Supreme Commander as well, but he still doesn't have a rank higher than Lt. Colonel and doesn't actually wear a uniform.

Thank you! Well, my page is dedicated to the AU Russian Empire, not the Soviet Union
