The Russian Civil War is a conflict between the Russian Empire and the True Russia due to a large number of disputed territories, the confrontation of nations and the division of zones of influence taking place throughout Russia, which began on December 24, 2021 and continues to this day. The war has also expanded into Finland, Ukraine and Korea.
Background
Historically speaking, Russia has always been a conflictive region in EarthMC, with more than 50 nations established inside and around its borders as of mid 2021. As this huge number of nations keeps growing, also do the diplomatic and military conflicts.
Russian POV
In fact, the Russian Civil War stems from a smaller armed conflict; the Russo-Horde War, which ended on September 26, 2021 with the defeat of the Golden Federation led by Java_Wolf. After Russia's victory, the situation in the region stabilized and Russia extended its influence to all the territories of Russia by the end of autumn 2021, without any resistance.
True Russian POV
True Russian officials have stated that this major war has its roots as early as January 2021 instead. On these times, there were three supernations dominating Russia; Russian Empire (RE), People's Republic of Russia (PRR) and Imperial Severny, all of which had merged into the Russian Federation on 30 January 2021, After a couple of months passed, an election was celebrated and Java_Wolf won, though the government deemed these elections as "fake". The leader of the Russian Empire state (BunnyRich) was banned shortly after and this nation became inactive. However, Java_Wolf was highly unpopular amongst the Russian Empire's remaining residents, and so the Russian Federation was finally disbanded.
A month prior to the disbandment, Imperial Severny suffered a civil war, which ended up in a decisive victory for the Golden Federation side. This result pushed the Golden Fed. to grow faster and expand its influence in the region, overwhelming the Russian Empire, who also decided to break diplomatic ties with the PRR.

Сourse of war
On November 26, 2021, True Russia was created, declaring its preferences for large territories controlled by Russia. This led to a number of diplomatic conflicts. According to the statements of the Russian leadership, the True Russia alliance was created specifically to confront Russia. The tension of the situation was also explained by the frequent poaching of cities between countries and the killing of civilians.
On December 24, 2021, the Emperor of Russia PycckueBnepeg declares war on the True Russia. The official reason was the constant attacks of the citizens of True Russia on the citizens of Russia, a large number of provocations by True Russia and the lack of attempts at peaceful dialogue.
Ural-Archangelsk Front
The Ural-Archangelsk Front did not see as much action as the other fronts, yet two battles already occured in Arkalia, West Russia. True Russia claimed having won both attacks on the town with 6 casualties for the Russians and none for the True Russian army.
A prince of True Russia stated that fierce battles had occured further east around Sarai (Sibrya, True Russia) and Adolfsburg (Greater Russia, Russian Empire) in modern-day Yamalia-Nenetsia. These clashes overall concluded with 25 to 30 casualties for the Russians, and only a few for the True Russians.
Pavlovsk Front
The Pavlovsk Front includes the areas near said city (which is also next to Moscow). This was actually the first front to be opened; the Russian Empire striked first in the war on 3 January 2022, when they attacked Pavlovsk (capital of the Russian Dominion, a major member of True Russia). This clash ended in a decisive victory for the Empire, with 2 casualties in the True Russian side and one in the Russian one.
Another earlier battle (near 28 December 2021) occured near Yekaterinburg, though this time it was True Russia attacking a town of the Russians. The result is disputed, with True Russia claiming they forced the Russian Empire to retreat with no casualties at all and thus pushed the frontline some hundreds of meters westwards.
Le_Bebra, a member of the Russian Empire's royalty, stated he alone caused at least 10 enemy deaths in this front, insinuating his comrades also inflicted casualties.
Southern Front
The Southern Front was opened at the end of February 2022 after the Russian Army attacked the city of Korokochi. As a result of several battles, the largest of which was the battle of March 9, 2022, two citizens of True Russia and two citizens of Russia were killed. In fact, the cities of Korokochi and Ternivka are surrounded by the Russian army and are constantly being attacked by Russia. In addition, a major event was the attempt of the True Russian army to attack the Donbass, but as a result, the mayor ignored their attempts. This forced the army of True Russia to retreat, which led to the offensive of the Russian army on the city of Ternivka and an hour-long blockade of the city.
Karelian-Finnish Front
The Karelian-Finnish Front, the bloodiest and most active in the conflict, was opened on late January 2022 as True Russia attacked Pankikland (capital of Suomi) in modern-day Finland. The True Russian army defeated the local defences and forced Lapland (the nation that Suomi was part of) to sign peace on 30 January.
On 9 March, the Russian army attacked the city of Volkhov_Republic (located in modern-day Murmansk Oblast). As a result of an almost hour-long battle near the city, the Russian troops managed to win, moving the front line almost to the city of Russiashawna and declaring their control over Karelia. As a result of the battle, one Russian soldier and five soldiers of True Russia were killed, including the mayor of Volkhov_Republic xxenu. Russiashawna was attacked later the same day, ending with a defeat for the Russian Empire (1 dead) which halted their offensive in Karelia.
True Russia also attacked Helsinki (capital of Finland) as this nation had declared war on them too. After some fighting, the True Russians achieved a decisive win allegedly causing 4 losses for the defenders and 2 for the attackers. Saint Petersburg (capital of the whole Russian Empire) was also involved in two battles; one finished indecisive with no casualties (True Russia claimed pushing the Russians back), while the other was reckoned as a victory by the True Russians (with 4 Russians and 1 True Russian dead).
On 16 March, Volkhov Republic was attacked again by a couple of soldiers from the Russian Empire who claimed victory, though it was later confirmed each side suffered one casualty, ending in a tie.
Korean-Siberian Front
On 3 March 2022, Russia bought the Kingdom of Joseon in Korea in order to have more control and influence in the region, although some parts of the local population decided to rebel against the new ruler and switch sides.
On 15 March 2022, True Russia and Japan sent an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Joseon. The conditions for the True Russian declaration of war to be avoided were Joseon leaving Russia and switching leaders. Finally, the True Russians and the Japanese declared war as Joseon did not comply. Japan followed the announcement with their own declaration of war to the whole Russian Empire, with Wales doing the same later on.
At the same time, True Russia also signed the Treaty of Mandrikovo with Sibir, where the big nation located in the Magadan Oblast agrees to leave Russia and join True Russia.
International reactions
Outside Russia, five nations supported the Russian Empire; Israel, Finland, Finnmark, Lapland and India. However, these last three states withdrawn from the war on 31 December 2021, 30 January 2022 and 20 February 2022, respectively. The IDC supported the Russian Empire though they weren't involved in any battles yet. On 4 March 2022, after meeting with the Russian emperor, France also recognized all Russian lands as belonging to the empire.
On 16 March 2022, the Victorian Empire declared their support for the Russian Empire and the Texico Empire supported Japan and True Russia. However, none of the two nations joined the conflict.
