The Death of Russia - TL

Pending approval by @Sorairo in case changes are needed. Until then, I'll consider Komi and the Uralic states as wiped out.
This is perhaps the first map I regret ever making.
Also, minor correction, it's Gdańsk, not *Gdánsk. The acute accent is over the n
 
Given that thousands of nukes fell in Russia, a full list would almost be impossible, but certainly anywhere that had an OTL population over half a million has been hit, and a good chunk of towns below that.
The map should just paint everything west of Ural in dark green than. European Russia had become mega chernopyl in a single day.
 
And one final thought not related to the US, how did the Romanians manage to tick of *anyone* in this conflict that Constanța got a nuke?
Them joining NATO I presume + the Romanian irredentist claim to Moldova, which both regimes probably considered their rightful land
EDIT: Also Constanta is probably important militarily for NATO military projection into the Black Sea

As I read that last chapter, I kept seeing the opening of Apocalypse Now with "This is the End" by The Doors playing. If there was ever a song that fit this beyond horrifying situation, it's that one.
 
Italy got off lightly, with Cagliari being the only major city hit but, Lampedusa, today that's where most illegal migrants land, that won't be an option TTL; Meloni-chan's ATL teenage self is probably having a field day. And having to rebuild Cagliari, well... we can barely rebuild small towns leveled by earthquakes here, let alone a major city lit up by a mushroom cloud. Someone will surely try to profit off the devastation brought by the nuke, in less than legal ways - it's Italy, it goes without saying.
 
I just realised that Rokhlin won't be able to bring Komi the hundred friends that he wished for it.

Well, while Rokhlin is kaputt most likely, we can't say for certain that Komi won't be revieved, if that can be treated as a hope spot. Hell, I think they and the Uralic nations will receive a bulk of the initial cleanup and reconstruction aid. The damage has been done, yes, but I think they can be brought back from the brink

The possibility Rokhlin dies makes me wonder who are lesser figures within Lebed's government and military, considering that we haven't seen much of his subordinates aside from Rokhlin and a few mercenary leaders.

Speaking of Lebed's government, will it eventually be recognized as the legitimate government of Russia, or will it remain a Siberian state?

I guess it won't have enough funds and/or economic power to do so the same way that UNTAR/UNPAR will have. Besides, Kaliningrad is still the "legitimate" government, however useless that fiction may otherwise be.

Well, in theory Lebed's Alexander complex dictates that he would aim to be recognized as the owner of West Russia, but KalininPushkingrad has a prior claim as the successor of Yeltsin, so I think he'll have to settle for Siberia while European Russia is on paper part of Nemtsov's government, de facto under UN administration
