CHRONICLES OF SAMARA:


There is no serious historian who talks about the Dark Nuclear Age without at least mentioning the Grand Confederation of Samara. The reader of this book, without prior knowledge, will probably ask the question: "Why was this state so important?" Well, we must start from the beginning, which brings us to the Great Nuclear War of 1963. This book won't talk about war -- but we must say that when the war started, in the city of Samara there was a Secret Congress of Eurasian mystics and occultists. Their names before the war were totally unknown, yet they managed to take a decisive firm grip on the law of the USSR. As we all know, the Soviet Union previously had atheist policies. This Congress wasn't very important at the time, but they still held it because of one strange occurrence: the Chairman of the Congress (or "Wise One" as they called him) had a prophetic dream of iron rain and a firestorm that would kill millions, and thought that for this time of judgment, he must assemble the cultists of Eurasia in Samara. He always trusted his dreams, and he did it without any idea of what would happen... but just as he opened that Congress, war started and in a few hours, most of the world was torn apart by nuclear war.

Sadly, old texts that speak about harsh times and the twenty years of nuclear winter are long gone, and so we must assume from oral records and old stories. What is certain to us, is that command over Samara was in the hands of the local branch of the Communist Party, and that through violence, they established order. For several years, they held their position in the city. But their power was destroyed because of two fatal mistakes. Firstly, they did not try to expand to the countryside where they could try to grow food (despite the opinion of my professor and friend A. Chaimsky, the conditions of nuclear winter were not nearly as harsh as we think today, and recolonization would have been possible) to attempt to survive large famines. Secondly, the Communists' stubborn refusal to change the government of the city to something more popular led to a falling out with the people of Samara.

These two key factors were the cause of communist downfall to a new, rising faction: the Order of Oprichnina. But we shall talk about the Order of Oprichnina in the next chapter, "Dark Star Rises".
