Third Russian Civil War

The Third Russian Civil War, lasting from 2068 to 2076, was the third and final time Russia was divided by civil war, following the first civil war of 1917-1922 and the second of 2033-2039. A four-sided conflict, the war was primarily fought by the Nationals, supporters of the ultranationalistic though relatively weak government in power since the Second Civil War, the Socialist Front, a pro-European faction primarily operating in the most western regions of Russia, the Eastern Army, demanding autonomy or independence for Russia's Far East, and the Crimean People's Guard, seeking to return Crimea to Ukraine.
By the end of the conflict, the Kamchatka Krai had successfully seceded as the Kamchatka People's Republic, the Sakha Republic was de facto independent though unrecognized, Crimea had successfully seceded with the support of the Ukrainian Republic, and the National government had been overthrown by the Socialist Front. Economic chaos would still rule for the next several decades, however, and the misplaced military materiel from the conflict would stoke other conflicts around the world, with a stolen Russian "clean-style" nuclear weapon being used to devastating effect in the Southeast Asia War to level Bangkok, and a large number of warhead+ICBM systems finding their way into the hands of the Holy State of the Higher Seed during the Fire Fox Wars .
