Seeing Paik Sun-Yup, I am also expecting Park Chung-hee, and a bunch of other Korean generals in the Manchukuo Army.
That said, I do hope the Korean officers defect in the event of the GAW. That and Korea deserves to be free.

Of massive intelect and they bring hope for the future of mankind!
Idea for a story/one shot map: Zinoviev goes to sleep one night in post-Midnight Russia... only to wake up as he was on January 1st, 1962.

No that's definitely her.
I prefer the Vasilevsky one. I get Olivia Armstrong vibes from her.Yes, and I love it.
But my favourite waifu is the one used for Suslov.
These mirror versions are really cool, although I don't think there would be that much ideological divergence for some of them. So Kruschev wouldn't turn the despotist Tyumen into socdems, just a more sane despotism.
Looking forward to it if you decide to do the other regions as well.
I did West Siberia above, actually, and Komi!
Also, would anyone be interested in a freeform, group-moderated RP based on this where the factions of Mirror West Russia and West Siberia send delegates to an All-Russian UN analogue and have to figure their shit out and do character stuff? I'll post the idea on the Shared Worlds relevant idea thread.

That sounds pretty fun. I think i’ll join if it ever becomes a thread.

A screenshot that someone just shared on Reddit, showing what happens if the Satan worshipping Brotherhood of Cain manages to reunify Russia after the post-Taboritsky midnight collapse:
.... I think that by this point, a lot of people around the world would start to genuinely question if perhaps the Nazis might have a point on the Russians being savages that cannot be trusted to rule themselves. With RK Moskowien/Speer's Paktkommission Russland being a freaking utopia of peace and stability by comparison.

This is a quote that would be very appropriate for this event:A screenshot that someone just shared on Reddit, showing what happens if the Satan worshipping Brotherhood of Cain manages to reunify Russia after the post-Taboritsky midnight collapse:

Speaking of the post-Taboritsky anarchy, what do you think happens to the Russian identity post-Midnight, especially amongst the younger generation and with the devs saying the idea of a united Russia is dead for the foreseeable future? Would there still be a shared Russian national identity? Or would the Russian identity evolve into something like how people from Morocco to Iraq would identify as Arab but also emphasize how they are Moroccans or Iraqis with regional identities being deemed more important by the younger generation?

As a Hong Konger who have seen some of my fellow HKers having this sense of extreme Anglophile as a reaction to their rejection of Mainland China, ignoring the fact that Hong Kong came under British rule in the first place under... Shall we say, highly questionable circumstances, or that there has been a policy of racism and discrimination by colonial government against the majority Chinese population in the colony, with there literally being 'Westerners/whites only' facilities and districts.... Or the way that some people in Taiwan such as former president Lee Teng-hui who grew up under colonial rule, with him being such a total Japanophilia to the point of being publicly proud of the fact that he was more proficient in speaking and writing Japanese than he was in Mandarin Chinese...
If we have a post-Taboritsky anarchy, combined with a Paktkommission Russland under either the Go4 or even pragmatic fascist Speer, the people living in the German parts of Western Russia might start developing a separate national identity, to the point that by the 1980s-90s, you might find them saying things like 'I am a Muscovite, not a Russian!' when talking to people overseas.

Well, it is certainly something that I think is fully in-character for the United States government to do. After all, it is the pragmatic and logical solution to what is going on in Africa, with OFN walking out of this having won their first post-WW2 conflict as an alliance. They have achieved their stated objective of defending South Africa from Nazi invasion, with the country now serving as a base of operation that will allow OFN to expand their operations in the Indian Ocean, not to mention bieng totally under American's political and economic orbit. Hence, the POTUS will now be able to focus on his domestic agenda, not having to spend further blood and treasure in Africa beyond guarding the now expanded South African boarder.
... As long as you don't mind the fact that Hutting is committing Khmer Rouge level genocide against millions of Africans, and will most likely devastate everything south of Ethiopia and north of Harare/Salisbury in a way that is on-par to what Tabby does to Russia.
But again, from a McNamara style pragmatist that only cares about numbers on a spreadsheet, he will say that:
(1) As terrible as Hutting's Reichsstaat might be, he is not part of Germany's Einheitspakt. Meaning that geopolitically, it will not be a threat to US national interests as it turns half of Africa into a giant void of madness and suffering. If anything, it will be a massive propaganda victory to discredit the any future anti-war movement or ciritsim of American foreign policy ('See? We could have won the war with a total victory, but those damn NPP hippies and their Yockey buddies forced us to sign a ceasefire, condemning millions of Africans to get murdered in mass graves. Which is why you should support [Insert US police action/military intervention here]').
(2) Even if all the OFN Mandates worked out in the best way possible and successfully decolonized, it was implied that much of Africa will still be a dysfunctional and chaotic mess due to the damaged done via the legacy of European colonialism under the British and the Belgians, the decades of Nazi rule under the RKs, and the SAW. A mess that you bet you ass the L-NPP types WILL absolutely be blaming on America's 'capitalist exploitation/systemic racism/sexism/elitism, etc', while the Yockey types will say that the SAW and the Mandates were done for the 'interests of the Wall Street bankers/ZOG'. The fact that even the worst case scenario for the OFN Mandates would be vastly better compared to the Hutting's Reichsstaat is irrelevant, since there is no way for people in-universe to know that, plus, the L-NPP types would outright reject any idea that America is anything less then a Nazi Germany with better PR, while the Yockey types would actually consider the idea of million of dead Africans to be a good thing that they not-so-secretly wank off to. With a Pro-OFN ceasefire, the US can simply go, 'This is not by business' at the slaughter. After all, the L-NPP types have already hitched your wagon to the anti-war movement. What are they going to do? Pull a full 180 and condemn the US for NOT intervening more in Africa?
(3) Even the best OFN total victory scenario will see thousand of additional dead American soldiers. Sure, you would be saving millions of Africans from Hutting's Reichsstaat... But at the end of the day, those millions of Africans would not be voting in American elections, while the thousands of extradead American soldiers and their family WOULD.
I mean, looking at RL tankies...yeah, they absolutely would do that.
In any case, the L-NPP and Yockeys are pretty irrelevant in the early 1960s, so why would you be making any political calculations based on them? It would be like Johnson making decisions about whether or not to intervene in Vietnam because of the CPUSA or, well, Yockey.
