Bogatyrs Of The Red Star

The Bogatyrs of the Red Star is the National Chapter for all of Russia and dates back to the seventh century, with roots going even farther back into the history of Varangian Northmen and indigenous Urartian kingdoms. 
The Red Star is the largest National Chapter in the world per land area under their purview This large size guarantees that the Red Star should never be taken lightly, if for no other reason than their ability to field huge armies. 
AKA: Knights of the Red Star, Children of the Bear. 
== Facts: ==
-The Red Star is a great Chapter with a long history behind it. Adepts from all walks of life, from street cobblers to emperors, have called the Chapter home. 
-The Red Star recently suffered a massive upheaval during the Bolshevik uprising and the installation of the Soviet Union. However, while the Union may no longer exist, the Red Star does and it seeks to maintain the large borders and traditions of the Russian people. 
-The bear is the major symbol of the Red Star. 
-In Western Europe, the Priests and Kings were roughly equal in influence and power and so ruled side by side. However, Eastern Europe never developed anything like a Papacy and so the Priestly Order here, while culturally significant, has always played a clear second fiddle to the Royal Order. 
-The vast forests and frontier regions of Russia are filled with all sorts of mysteries and surviving relics from the past. It is said that in the deepest and most remote sections of Russia's inner-forest, that there are villages so cut off from modern society that they still believe a Tsar rules Russia? 
-Russia's communist period came to an end with the Velvet Revolution, initiated by the top leadership of Russia (mainly President Mikhail Gorbavech) who gradually but sternly shifted Russia into a capitalist state. 
-Russia is often portrayed as a backwater country ruled by little more than galvanized junta leaders. However, Russia has shown much discipline and self-control in the past During the Cuban Missile Crises, it was Gorbavech rather than John F Kennedy who did the most to avert a nuclear war.Category:Red Star
