The Admiral, the Pharaoh and the Snake
In the spring of the year of our lord nineteen-hundred and sixty-four, on the 16th day of May, the Red realm or Irkutsk under the Phoaroh and the Brown realm of Magadan under the Snake, went to war with each other for the dominance of the Russian Far East and Siberia, the two wicked leaders fighting over their ill-gotten gains. Unbeknownst to them, the Divine Mandate of Siberia led by the Father was preparing for war, and there could only be one realm left to the dominate the Far East of Siberia, and the Father would make sure that that realm was his own holy realm, and not the realms of the wicked and evil or the misguided and apathetic.
Still, before the Father could go to war with the Pharaoh and Snake, who were too distracted in their war with each other and ignorant of the power of the Divine Mandate, there remained one small obstacle to overcome, the fiefdom of the Admiral, once in the service of the navies of the Red Empire who found himself trapped in the Kamkatchka peninsula. On the 20th day of June, the Father led his soldiers of Christ against the despotic fiefdom of the Admiral. After one month and eight days of war, the admiral surrendered his false nation to the father, after which he was allowed to live in peace, provided he took no arms against the government of the Divine Mandate, which he agreed to do.
With the admiral having surrendered, it was now time for the Father to bring the sword and the wrath of God to the wicked realms to south. On the 10th of October, the Father led his armies against the wicked realms of the Pharaoh and the Snake. As both realms were much too busy send each other’s men to be killed in battle against one another, they were left completely unprepared for the invasion of the righteous and divine armies of the Father. On All Hallows’ Eve, the Pharaoh and his armies and assassins surrendered to the divine will the Father. Soon afterwards, the Simon of Buryatia, that young sailor of only a quarter-century years old, was freed from the dungeons of the Pharaoh, and in the cathedral of Verkhneudinsk, was given absolution by the father for his good deeds to the people of Buryatia in spite of his atheism and misguided belief in the false prophet. Afterwards, the Simon continued to live in the city, donating his money to charity and helping the common people in any way that he could.
After more and more weeks of bloody and brutal battles in the freezing cold and unforgiving snow and tundra of the Siberian taiga, on the 6th of December, armies of the snake surrendered armies to divine will the Father, with the Snake himself having fled the city of Magadan and disappeared into the wilderness, where he lived a meager life of survival and religious contemplation until his death, as we was allowed to do according to the forgiveness of the Father. With that, the other realms of the Siberian Far East were all defeat at the hands of the men of the Father, and the Divine Mandate of Siberia had finally succeeded in unifying the region, as was according to the will of God.
After the wars had ended, on the 29th of December, the Father tried to offer the Pharaoh repentance, but he refused and instead tried to kill the Father with his secretly hidden handgun, only to be stopped by a young child who threw a rock at the head of the elderly Pharaoh, after which the mob of peasants threw more stones at the seventy-three year-old despot, killing him, much to the chagrin of the Father, albeit still happy his live had been saved. In the following year of nineteen-hundred and sixty-five, the Father freed the Belshazzar of Chita from the dungeons of the Snake, met with him and allowed the man who was no more than a prisoner of the White Armies of Chita to return to his true home across the Pacific Ocean, in the far-away and mysterious land of Australia. Afterwards, the Hamman of Amur was brought before the Father in his chains, yet the Hamman spat at the Father and denied him three times. The Father than met privately with Hamman. It is not known what transpired during that discussion, but afterwards, a repentant Hamman walked away a grief-stricken and remorseful man how had been forgiven for his numerous evil acts by the Father. Hamman then lived in obscurity and poverty on the outskirts of his old capital of Zeya, living a live of piety and praying for forgiveness from God for his past hatred and evil actions.
After the wars for the Far East, the Father began consolidating his expanded realms, instituting new laws and reforms which upheld the values of pluralism and religious tolerance, even for those denizens of the divine mandate who were not of the Russian Orthodox Christian faith, and which instituted the ides of the Great Writer of Tolstoy and his ideology of Christian Anarchism, albeit within the framework of the divine state as a form of socialistic Christian communalism on a small-scale in local communities, with some inspiration from the theories of Kropotkin as well. It was also during this time that the Father began to prepare for a new series of holy wars for the reunification and divine purification of Russia. However, one small problem remained, and that problem was the machinations of Pavel, a long time companion of the Father who helped him in his rise to power and who was secretly plotting behind his back. After the Father found out about his duplicity, Pavel, who became known to many as Judas as a result of his actions, was reprimanded by the Father for his two-faced plans, but in the end, the father forgave Judas for his plans against him. Unlike the Judas Iscariot of old, Pavel was still allowed to work with the Father, on the condition that if he plotted against him again there would be more severe punishment.
The next realm that the Father was planning to conquer was the Central Siberian Republic, led by the Solomon of the Central Republic, a medievalist, linguist, scholar and writer from the old city of Petrograd, now under the evil claws of the Germanic Eagle. Solomon was not a bad man, but rather a misguided man who ruled over an impressive republic not unlike the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judea, a realm of scholars, learners, scientists, artists and musicians, but still a realm of atheistic, bourgeois, corrupt and cynical elitism that cared much more about the needs of the intellectual elite of the republic then the needs and wants of the average people who were far removed from the ivory towers of the elite. Thus, such a state needed to be shown the light of God, even if by righteous force for the greater good.
On the last day of May in the year of our lord nineteen-hundred and sixty-nine, the Father declared a holy war on the Central Republic, and their leader Solomon was not surprised by this new war for the fate of Siberia and Eastern Russia. Still, the armies of Solomon could not stop the advance of the divine armies of God. Over a month after the war began, the capital of Tomsk fell to the divine armies, after which the government of the Central Republic fled to the west to the city of Krasnoyarsk. Weeks later, on the 26th day of September, not long after the fall of the cities of Kemerovo and Krasnoyarsk, the Central Republic surrendered to the Divine Mandate of Siberia. That same day, the Father meet with Solomon in Krasnoyarsk, had an amicable discussion and came to an agreement that Solomon, his colleagues and all their followers would be allowed to live in peace in the city of Tomsk so long as they took no action against the Divine Mandate. It was also agreed that the Four Salons that once governed the republic would be allowed to exist as private institutions that worked for the scientific and cultural benefit of the Divine Mandate and its people.
The Red King of Kazakhstan
In the west of Russia, the Caesar of the Urals, a well-meaning yet misguided republican leader, was locked in a desperate war with the Red Goliath of Western Russia, a former general in the armies of the Red Empire and a harsh tyrant who ruled according to the teachings of the false prophet. While this war continued, the Father was planning for a new war against the atheistic and dictatorial realm to his south, Kazakhstan, led by the Red King, another former general in the army of the Red Empire, who ruled his realm with an iron fist according to the teachings of the false prophet.
On the 19th day of December, the Father declared another holy war against the false red realm of the downtrodden people of Kazakhstan. The red armies of the Kazakh warlord, long tired by years of unending war, were no match for the divinely inspired and righteous armies of the mandate and their Father. Less than a month after the war began, on the 15th day of January in the new year of nineteen-hundred and seventy, the red kingdom collapsed and surrendered to the Father’s will. One week later, the father celebrated his thirty-fifth birthday and year of life, and this was the perfect gift for such an occasion. Meanwhile, the Kazakh people, who mostly followed the religion of Islam, were allowed to practice to their faith in peace, whereas their religion and all others were persecuted under the rule of Red King and the followers of the false prophet. After being held in captivity for several weeks, the Red King of Kazakhstan was given absolution by the father and was allowed to live in peace in his native land so long as he did not rise up against the Divine Mandate, which he agreed to do.
The Caesar of the Western Republic
In the year of nineteen-hundred and seventy, only two realms remained to contest the control of the free lands of the Russian nation, the Divine Mandate of Siberia and the West Russian Federative Republic led by the Caesar of the Western Republic. Caesar was a well-meaning leader and was not a bad man, but he was nevertheless a drunkard and a spiritually misguided and naïve leader who ruled over a corrupt and flawed republic. The Father knew that only one realm could rule over the free lands of Russia, and he knew that it was God’s will that the Divine Mandate rule over all of Russia. As a result, the Father began planning for war against the Western Republic for the following year.
On the 12th day of May of the year of nineteen-hundred and seventy-one, the Father declared war on the corrupt and spiritually wayward realm of the drunkard Caesar. weeks later, the capital city of Sverdlovsk fled to the west to the city of Vyatka and then to Arkhangelsk. Two months later, on the 25th day of July, outside the city of Arkhangelsk, Caesar surrendered his republic to the Divine Mandate. On that same day, the re-unification of all the free lands of the nation of Russia was proclaimed over the radio waves from the Father’s capital of Olomon, and the Divine Mandate of Russia was born through the will of God and his only son Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Soon afterwards, Caesar meet with the Father in his old capital of Sverdlovsk, now renamed to its old name of Yekaterinburg. Much like with Solomon, another republican leader, the two men had an amicable discussion and came to an agreement that Caesar and his followers would be allowed to live in peace in the city of Yekaterinburg so long as they took no action against the Divine Mandate. The Caesar accepted, and soon afterwards decided to leave Russia for a life in exile in the Great Republic, a free land, but a land full of men who were led astray by the lure of mammon and way from the light of God.
The Herod of Muscovy
In the years after the Divine Mandate had unified the free lands of Russia, and the Divine Mandate of Russia stood proudly as a new rising power against the Eagle Empire, the Eastern Empire and the Great Republic. Nevertheless, the Father knew that his work was not yet done, as the former heart of the once great Russian nation were still under the rule of the evil, wicked and villainous Eagle Empire, an empire which brutalized and oppressed so many of its denizens, with the people of Rus suffering under the cruel jackboot of their heathen Germanic overlords. In the lands of Muscovy, ruled over by the Eagle Empire, the lands not ruled over by the Germanic invaders were ruled by the Herod of Muscovy, a suzerain of the Eagle Empire who kept his ill-gotten lands as a part of the Eagle Empire in exchange for him remaining in power and preferential treatment for the Germanic invaders.
After the death of the Nebuchadnezzar of the Eagle Empire in nineteen-hundred and sixty-three, the empire began to fell apart and was fought over by four of the wicked leaders’ followers, the Bald Man, the Fat Man, the Architect and the Butcher. In the end, the Bald Man won the struggle and became the new leader of the Eagle Empire, after which he rebuilt the power of the evil empire and took back over their colonies in the east of Europe. In the months after the reunification of Russia, the Bald Man was dying from an incurable disease. Finally, on the last day of June in the year of our lord nineteen-hundred and seventy-three, the Bald Man finally died of his incurable disease, and he was succeeded as leader of the Eagle Empire by the Old Admiral, an old admiral in the navies of the empire who was an old, weak and feeble man who could not hope to lead the crumbling empire. Thus, the evil empire began to collapse, and as the empire was collapsing, Herod declared his realm as independent from the rest of the Eagle Empire.
Not long afterwards, on the first day of August, on the orders of the Father, the holy armies of the Divine Mandate of Russia, an army consisting of mostly infantry and cavalry, but still incredibly brave and ready to fight to the death for their righteous cause, launched a surprise invasion of Herod's realm of Muscovy, as well as the Germanic realms of Russia ruled by the evil warlord known as the Spectacled One, another suzerain of the Eagle Empire. This was a new Holy War for the final re-unification and spiritual purification of the Russian nation, a war that would cleanse the evils of the Eagle Empire from the Russian nation once and for all. With the Eagle Empire distracted at home, there was nothing they could do about the holy armies of the Father, even in regards to the Spectacled One, whose realms were officially still a part of the Eagle Empire.
Within just a few months, the divine Russian armies of the Father were at the gates of Moscow and Petrograd, the latter city under a new Germanic name. After more weeks of intently brutal and heated battle, the old Russian capital of Moscow fell before the light of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the armies of the Divine Mandate of Russia. Much to the shock of the surprised Germans, the soldiers of the divine mandate showed immense restraint, as it was the command of the Father to not hate thine enemies the way to do to you, as doing so would be an affront to the ways of Christ. A few weeks latter, Petrograd fell the divine armies as well. By the end of the month of November, the rest of Herod's wicked realm and the Germanic realms had fallen before the might of the divine armies of the new and holy Russian nation. Some time before the fall of the newly christened city of Volgograd, the Spectacled One died in battle, while Herod was murdered near the border of the remaining eastern lands of the Eagle Empire, perhaps by angry Russian partisans. Afterwards, with the Eagle Empire's colony of the Caucasus in chaos, with the revolt of numerous native nations against their oppressors', the newly-christened Divine Russian Army marched southwards to invade and conquer the ethnically Russian lands of the Caucasus, and then the Eagle Empire's holding of the Crimea, with both lands falling in a matter of months, with the Eagle Empire helpless to stop the divine will of God against their wicked and insipid evil.
By the end of the year, the final re-unification of the Divine Mandate of Russia was complete, leading to euphotic celebrations and religious services across the newly reunited nation. In his new capital of Moscow, the Father proclaimed a new era for the Russian nation, guided by the light and goodness of God and against the evil and darkness of Satan and his minions on Earth. Shortly afterwards, the justice of God was brought upon the Eagle Empire, as the long-oppressed Ukrainian, Polish, Byelorussian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian and Czech peoples rose up in revolt against their cruel masters. Within just a few years, thee long beleaguered peoples would finally find their freedom, and the Eagle Empire, an empire of the agents of Satan on Earth, was but a shadow of its former self.
In the Divine Mandate of Russia, a new era in the history of the nation has begun, with all of her citizens, regardless of ethnicity, race, religion, creed, class or occupation, looking forward to a new era bathing in the brightness of the glow of the light of God and all that is good in the world.
Footnote: Since the publication of this contemporary account of the re-unification of Russia, the Divine Mandate of Russia has become an impressive world power in its own right. However, unlike other world powers, the Divine Mandate of Russia maintained a strict neutrality in foreign affairs and renounced most forms of militarism, re-forming the Divine Russian Army into the all-volunteer Divine Russian Defense Force. The new Russian nation also stayed away from many of the activities of the other superpowers, such as the development of a Space Program and the development of Nuclear weapons. Over the years, the Russia nation became overwhelmingly agricultural, with major cities smaller than they were in the 1930s, with urbanization seen as a byproduct of the Soviet regime and with many Russian citizens proffering to live in autonomous rural towns, villages, hamlets and communes, many of which are run according to the principles of Leo Tolstoy's Christian Anarchism. In regards to societal issues, alcoholism also declined, with most Russians preferring to drink in moderation, seeing excessive drinking as a potentially mortal sin. Russia has also evolved into a nation where most citizens are able to provide for themselves and are reasonably well-off, but where almost no one is rich or wealthy. With the strong sense of community inspired by the Russian Orthodox Church, the autonomous communities and the strong sense of Christian Communalism, the Divine Mandate of Russia is arguably the closest thing to a truly Socialist nation and society, and ironically, even more so than the old Soviet Union. Religious and ethnic tolerance is also highly emphasized in Russian society, with the non-Russian ethnicities of Russia equal under the law and free to practice their own religions, be it Judaism, Islam, Buddhism or Shamanism.
After the death of Father Alexander Men at the age of 74, after forty-five years of rule on November 30, 2009, the Divine Mandate of Russia was reformed into the People's Republic of Russia, a democratic nation based on the principles of the Russian Orthodox faith, with Russian Orthodoxy as the state religion and with strict laws for religious tolerance, and the de-centralization of government, with the local oblasts, cities, towns, villages and autonomous ethnic republics having many local powers that the central government in Moscow does not have. The main political parties of the People's Republic of Russia are the Tolstoyist Christian Anarchist Party, the Social Democratic Party, the Menist People's Party, the Conservative People's Party, the Centrist Party, the Old Beliver's Party and the Kropotkinist Party. The People's Republic of Russia also continues to maintain a strict neutrality in foreign affairs, and helps to mediate many conflicts that occur across the globe.
Overall, with the legacy of the Father Alexander Men, the future of the People's Republic of Russia continues to looks to be very promising not just for Russia, but perhaps also for the world at large.
THE END
