2nd and 6th Guards Motorized Rifle Division

==History==
During World War III, Russia found itself engaged in conflict against NATO and to defend one of its most strategically important urban centers. countering Baltic invasions, the 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division (GMRD) was deployed to the north, while the 6th GMRD was reactivated in Moscow and also dispatched northward. These elite units were equipped with a variety of mechanized and anti-aircraft weaponry to conduct both offensive and defensive operations within the Leningrad Oblast region. The 2nd GMRD predominantly utilized late Russian heavy equipment, while the 6th GMRD utilized the latest Soviet heavy equipment available, including T-72s, T-80s, T-90s, BMP-2s, BMP-3s, BTR-80s, 2S25 Sprut-SD tank destroyers, S-300 and S-400 air defense systems, 9K22 Tunguska, Pantsir systems, BTR-90s, 122mm, 130mm and 152mm artillery.
===A division once again reborn:===
Following the apocalyptic events, much of the late Russian armor was destroyed in the vast battlefields of Estonia, and what remained in the depots became completely useless due to several components being dysfunctional. These components included cooling systems, hydropneumatic systems, electronic components, and the main gun barrel, while firearms also began to deteriorate and rust, rendering the tanks completely useless and beyond repair. Luckily for the GMRDs, civilization began to emerge in Saint Petersburg and Murmansk, which turned out to be the greatest semi-industrialized and economic powerhouses of the region. This allowed the GMRDs to open factories and develop semi-complex military industries, which could only be achieved after years of restoring lost data and reverse engineering offering in return permanent protection since that's where their main factories would lay down. Consequently, they began melting down all the tank's metal found in the depots to assemble new guns and ammunition to field a huge quantity of supplies, soldiers, high training standards, a well equipped army while using horses and trains to transport all of that to the front.
The heart of the army is not yet broken.
==Recent Developments==
During 2121 AD, the Russian Federation faced a threat from the south with Kolvachur's Red Army attempting to march on Moscow. However, the GMRDs responded by mobilizing a force of 8,000 troops. In the battle of Gatchina, they faced 39,000 Red Army soldiers. Despite the numerical advantage, the Red Army's ineffective training and lack of organization led to their defeat. The GMRD lost about 70 troops while inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. This victory forced Kolvachur into a desperate retreat, during which he crossed the Neva river. Many of his soldiers drowned, and others were killed in skirmishes with the GMRDs. Kolvachur managed to escape to the north and settled in Vyborg after reaching a deal with the Finnish. Its expected that from his 39.000 strong force only 9.000 remained.
==Politics==
The politics within the GMRD are complex. Although it operates as an authoritarian regime under the control of the armed forces and generals, the 2nd and 6th GMRDs work closely together, coordinating their attacks and sharing power between two elected field marshals. They consider themselves part of the Russian army under the Russian Federation (Saint Petersburg), largely because they rely on the federation to supply them with military equipment.
Lev Antonov currently wields more power than the hardline leader Vadim Sergeev. While Antonov seeks to support the civilian government to maintain stability, Sergeev advocates for the establishment of a full military dictatorship in Northwestern Russia. He aims to achieve this by marching into Saint Petersburg and imposing order to resolve all current disputes.
===Internal Dispute:===
====военная партия всея России [BNBP] - Overall Support: 100%====
*Antonov Followers - Conservative - Authoritarian: 71%
*Sergeev Followers - Paternalistic - Authoritarian: 29%
==Economy==
All the territory controlled by the GMRDs is extremely poor and lacks natural resources, forcing them to rely on imports and supplies provided by the Great Lords of Northwestern Russia to sustain their gains and protect their interests in the Northwest. Maintaining a large army in Leningrad Oblast would be unsustainable without resorting to selling their services as a mercenary company, which could be purchased by any nation within their reach. Consequently, their gains are contingent on the number of military services they sell to other nations, primarily those under the influence of the GLON. (which as of right now are alot)
==Culture==
The Guards Motorized Rifle Divisions are predominantly composed of Novgorodians, representing the Russian population inhabiting the Northwestern Region. They identify closely with the Western Russian culture group but exhibit significant differences compared to Muscovites or Cossacks. This contrast is primarily attributed to the relative stability enjoyed in the Northwest, which has fostered a period of peace and prosperity distinct from the war and instability experienced in other parts of Western Russia.
==Bonuses==
The GMRDs have a solid +2 until 5 months of the beginning of their operation, after 5 months hit all the positive bonuses dissapear and its swapped with a -1. If the GMRDs get out of important railways and roads during Rasputitsa all their bonuses will be lifted (yes Kirov Railway isn't mapped and it counts was a major railway, therefore no bonuses reduction), GMRDs get a perm +2 for their defenses agaisnt any warlord State (if its a semi-unified entity attacking them, then all the bonuses are lift).
