Spasibo Tovarische. Also, do you know any famous Black Hundreds members? I've been searching for them but I can't find any info.I recommend to read - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Alliance_of_Russian_Solidarists You wrote a post about Russia forgetting to consult with Russian, it was a strange decision comrade
Thank you. I believe I'll also add Lavr Kornilov to that group (as I've read he admired the Black Hundreds)
The Black Hundred movement was not a single whole and was represented by various associations, such as the Russian Monarchist Party ( Iván (Ioánn) Ivánovich Vostórgov- priest of the Russian Orthodox Church, archpriest. Preacher, church writer, missionary, leader of the monarchical movement. Glorified in the face of the saints of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2000; memory - August 23, the Julian calendar and the Cathedral of the Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia.
Never heard about that. Considering that Kornilov (to the contrary to Black Hundreds's monarchist beliefs) supported the February Revolution, that would be strange; especially considering that Black Hundreds by 1917 lost almost all their influence.
I'm currently making an explanation for that in my revision, one that will likely make more sense than the Devs laziness.
Why? Anti-Semitism doesn't fit Savinkov's ideology (which emphasies anti-Syndicalism and cultural nationalism above anything else), and it wasn't popular among the right-wing intellectuals (at least, in the forms that were common, for example, among the Black Hundreds). Not to mention that many Jews fought for the White army, including Kornilov's regiment. (like Sergey Efron)
The White Army also in general caused pogroms, as did the Black Hundreds. Russia was significantly more anti semetic than Germany before WWI; there's simply no reason IMO for this other than to make people feel better about playing Savinkov, when the base game lets you be literally Hitler.
Well... in KR, Savinkov's ideology of National Renewal is derived from the ideology of Savinkov himself (who has a Jewish wife and worked occasionally with Jewish people, including the period of the Civil War) and his circle, as well as actual Russian right-wing intellectuals, who weren't the most wholesome people on the planet, but they didn't tend to express rigid anti-Semitic views. The National Renewal ideology with its focus on populism and appeal to peasantry has little connection to the reactionary organisations like Black Hundreds. There is a little reason for the upper circles of the NRPR to be anti-Semites.
I tend to agree with KR devs on that, since the Civil War in KR was mostly restricted to Central Russia with little Jewish population, the White Army didn't tainted its reputation with the horrifying pogroms in the South of Russia. The fact that the Civil War occured mostly in the regions with the dominant Russian population would make it more look like the war of Russians against Russians, who were mislead by Communists, rather than the International Jewish plot.
Ultimately, though, what's the difference? Nazi Germany had plans to Germanize the East that if carried out would have made Genghis Khan say "calm the fuck down". I also think you're missing the point of referring to Pogroms; the point isn't that they happened, it's that they reveal that Russia was extremely antisemetic. At best, Savinkov would treat the antisemites like Long treats white Supremecists, and turn a blind eye. At worse... if Wrangel and MacArthur can be turned into bloodthirsty dictators, and if Mosely can be made a Marxist, then Savinkov can surely be made an antisemite.
I can guess from the devs' posts on the topic this wouldn't include physical extermination on the massive scale simular that was planned by Nazis; something like "force and reeducate natives, send their children to learn Russian, and selectively punish those who rejects to acknowledge the superiorty of Russians".
Pogroms and other extreme measures agaisnt the Jewish population were condemned by the majority of the Russian intellectualls and the ruling class; I don't see any reason why Savinkov shouldn't do exactly that. Since it've been 20 years of Kerensky's rule, during which Jews were more or less integrated to the society of Russia and consider themselves as the citizens of Russia, the anti-Jewish sentiment would likely fade among the general population as well.
The particularly smart or well-connected or talented 5-10% (like Sakinov's wife) get Russian names and orders to publicly convert to the Russian Orthodox Church. The rest have to deal with periodic violence, but this are only allowed on a few days during Easter or Christmas, and supressed should they turn into full pogroms.
I don't claim that anti-Semitism would completely disappear from Russia, but rather it won't take extreme forms (like pogroms of Tsarist Russia levels or even Holocaust) and won't be a focus of the Savinkovist Russia.
We still have Pelley's America with national focuses of White Apartheid, Ungern's Mongolia with pillaging of lands and Codreanu's Romania with probably, well, anything that Iron Guard did IRL, but in the scope of the entire country. I think if devs actually wanted to make NatPop Russia genocidical, they would find a subtle way to emphasize the especially harsh treatment of the minorities without directly touching of the genocide themes.
