The 2nd Russian Civil War was a military conflict between the Russian Federation and a large ultranationalist rebel group called The New Russian Union (NRU) that began on October 17 2026 which soon spanned for 3 years.

The Aftermath of Russo-Ukrainian War
After the ceasefire treaty, Putin was forced to resign after the Russian people voted for a new leader and wanted a new start for Russia. When Putin left, the government agreed to a reformation of the Russian Federation to prevent another war and would slowly westernize to hopefully ally themselves with NATO which did not sit well with most Russians particularly those who were nationalists and communists. Those who hated the new government after Putin left formed the Russian Ultranationalist Rebellion or RUR to combat, in their eyes, a weak government who were traitors to the motherland. 
The RUR soon proved to the world after the Chemical Crisis of 2060 that they were problem that if left to its own devices would lead the globe to a series of conflicts that would end with thousands dying and homes burning. Yet, there were those who admired and followed the Ultranationalists ideology of a "true loyalty" to the homeland. Around the world, Ultranationalists groups slowly began growing and becoming stronger. By September 2060, the Ultranationalist ideology is renamed into “True Loyalty”. 
NATO along with the rest of their allies sees the Ultranationalist ideology as a threat to not only democracy but the world. They form the predecessor of the Anti-Ultranationalist Defense League, the United Democracy Confederation (UDC) but this barely stops the ideology as Ultranationalist in Russia slowly gains power while the belief of “true loyalty” continues spreading. 
The 2nd Russian Civil War finally began on October 17 2060 when Ultranationalist groups launched a rebellion by seizing hundreds of military bases and cities that were loyal to the “True Loyalty”. The bases were quickly captured by the rebels with almost no resistance and within 24 hours, Russian Ultranationalists had a sizable army that could rival the Russian Federation’s and NATO forces.

=== 2026 ===
===== October 17-19 =====
Russian Ultranationalists, after seizing a large number of Russian bases, launched a surprise airborne invasion of Moscow to quickly capture the head of government and military. The 5th Ultranationalist paratrooper regiment composed of 3,000 highly trained troops land all over the Russian capital and capture strategic locations that trapped everyone in the city. While Russian police and national guard battle against the Ultranationalist forces to prevent them from capturing the Russian Council but were slowly forced to retreat to Inner Moscow as they were outgunned and outmatched. Most of Moscow was occupied and under the control of the Ultranationalist regime by October 19 but eventually their hold would slowly diminish when Russian Loyalist reinforcements arrived.
Meanwhile, several cities were also attacked by Ultranationalist forces but only a few were captured. The Ultranationalists already had their first major casualties along with defeat during the Battle of St. Petersburg on October 19 when they were forced to surrender when overwhelmed by a large number of joint Russian Loyalist military-law enforcement forces. 
NATO was alarmed by the sudden conflict happening within Russia and offered their assistance in fighting the Ultranationalist. NATO military supplies and volunteers headed towards Russia to provide help to the Loyalists but not all countries supported the Russian loyalist government. The Republic of China which was a former ally of the United States along with Iran supported the Ultranationalists but did not send any help with fear of sanctions from America and its allies. 
===== October 20 - 31 =====
On October 20, Ultranationalist forces suffer tremendous casualties during the Battle of Kazan when they fought against the Loyalist forces with NATO volunteers for the control of the 2 rivers of Volga and Kazanka. Loyalist air forces attacked large supply convoys of Ultranationalist while Loyalist special forces carry out ambushes against Russian Ultranationalist missile and canon artillery . Loyalists with the support of the European Union along with NATO would also take control of border territories in Eastern Europe to prevent the Ultranationalists from attacking Eastern Europe but eventually their efforts would be in vain when Ultranationalist forces invaded the United States. 
800,000 Ultranationalist forces with captured Russian equipment landed on Alaska on October 25 which caught the whole world especially the United States by surprise. 5 Ultranationalist paratrooper divisions launched an airborne invasion of Anchorage and several coastal cities. 3 more divisions would also land using amphibious vehicles to support their forces in Anchorage and began moving inland to quickly capture the American state before the Americans with their allies would mobilize. The Aleutian Islands was also quickly captured by rebel marines and soon military bases particularly naval and aerial ones were constructed, allowing the rebel air force to begin bombings. 
On October 30, NATO and the Russian Federation would meet together regarding the new military conflict erupting within Russia. Britain, Poland, and Western Ukraine would vote for intervention with the reasoning that these ultranationalists may pave a way for the ideology not seen since the 1930's. Meanwhile the rest of the members except for the United States would protest, believing that there must be another way in participating in the conflict without sending their own troops. Eventually, NATO would not involve itself in the civil war but would send supplies to Loyalist forces. 
Meanwhile on October 31, MI6 intelligence with Ukrainian would capture images of large numbers of Eastern Ukrainian troops amassing near the western border. This report would be further enforced when CIA would listen on radio reports of Eastern Ukrainian generals. President Yulia Svyrydenko proclaimed a state of emergency and quickly ordered the mobilization of Western Ukrainian military forces. 
===== November 1 - December 15 =====
On November 1, NATO began deploying a huge force of a million American, British, French, Polish, and German military forces to assist Russian Loyalists and Western Ukrainians when it is later decided in a NATO meeting that the organization should join. A joint German-American aerial force began launching several attacks on Russian Ultranationalists in various cities around the country while Western Ukraine have strengthened and improved their ground, air, and naval defenses. Meanwhile, 300,000 highly trained Eastern Ukrainians with the support of ultranationalists have taken invasive positions near the western border with the number of troops increasing to almost 2 million each day. 
Eventually the Ukrainian Civil War began on November 8th when the People’s Ukrainian Army of the People’s Republic of Eastern Ukraine and thousand Russian ultra nationalists invaded the border regions of Kiev, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, Eastern Dnipropetrovsk, and Eastern Kherson. The Western Ukrainians stood their ground and fought against a large onslaught of enemies but they were forced to retreat further west after a majority of their professional and veteran forces were encircled by the PUA . NATO would declare war on November 25 on Eastern Ukraine. Thousands of NATO tanks and helicopters would force Eastern Ukrainians back on their own territories eventually pushing back the enemy to the DMZ but the PUA forces would eventually halt the NATO offensive . A stalemate would soon form in the DMZ. 
In Russia, The Russian Ultranationalists fought and occupied large portions of land in the western and middle regions of the country to connect to each other but suffered massive casualties. Loyalist forces eventually secured Southern Russia from the ultranationalist forces by December 3 but were continuously faced large offensives from the rebels. Rebel attacks would soon end by December 15 when they began focusing on the American front. The Loyalists would later take this chance by launching the Volkor Offensive that retook large portions of middle regions. 
The Battle of Anchorage after 3 months ends with a ultranationalist victory, forcing the American military forces back to regroup and resupply. The major Alaskan cities of Kodiak and Kenai were also captured by the rebel forces after 1 month of fighting. The first battles inflicted heavy casualties to the American defenders but they were still determined to fight off the Russian invaders. The American Armed Forces with the Canadians launched a counteroffensive that drove back the rebels from Anchorage. 
December 15 - December 25 
== Aftermath ==
==== The Russian Federation and the Russian Loyalists ====
After the war, the Russian Loyalists were tasked to rebuild and reform the new Russian government under the leadership of the former loyalist leader, Alexei Navalny, with the financial and material support of NATO along with the United Nations. Navalny and his loyalist government eventually begin a rapid massive construction of a war devastated Russia while also forming a NATO friendly new democratic capitalist government. 
By 2037, Russia would once again rise to be one of the superpowers but this time, it would be no longer an enemy but a friend under a true free democratic capitalist government. The Russian Armed Forces would be the 3rd largest military force in the world and the economy of the Russian Federation would be the 2nd largest. 
==== The Russian Rebellion ====
Following the end of hostilities, the remaining captured russian rebel leaders and soldiers would be taken in custody by NATO forces and be held in the first war trials since the end of the Third World War. The trials would be held in public in the capital of Moscow therefore being called the “Moscow Trials”. The Moscow Trials would last for almost 3 years with all but 5 of the rebel leaders and 300 soldier sentenced imprisoned for only a few years. There would be no innocents. 
NATO and the Navalny government agreed that death charges such as hanging and being shot should be once again used in order to show the world what will happen to those who threaten to even disrupt the peace and order of the world. Judges and lawyers around the globe were chosen for their expertise to defend and prosecute the accused. Victims of the war both military and civilian were also secretly transported to Moscow. The trials were also filmed live around the world 24/7. There were 5 charges that would be charged to the war criminals:
* Charge 1: The Crime of Disrupting Order and Peace (Announcing War and Leading of War)
* Charge 2: The Crime against Humanity (Rape, Torture, and Other Illegal Acts against people) 
* Charge 3: The Crime of Collaboration and Association (Collaboration and Working with the enemy)
* Charge 4: The Crime of Robbery and Death (Murdering and Stealing) 
From Charge 1 to 2, those who were charged were sentenced to death. The accused would be allowed to choose how to be executed such as either imprisonment for life, being shot, hanged, or poisoned. Meanwhile those who were charged with number 3 to 4 would be sentenced to a chosen number of years by the judge in a highly secured prison in Siberia. 
Alex Vladinsok, the head leader of the Russian Ultranationalist Rebellion of both its political and military branch, was sentenced to death through hanging with charges of number 1. He would be executed in October 5 2029 by hanging in the execution site outside of Moscow. 
General Lucas Popov of the ultranationalist military branch was sentenced to death through a firing squad a few days after the death of Vladinsok with the charges of number 2. He was known as the Butcher of Russia who ordered killings and plundering of innocent civilians as retaliation after defeats for the rebels. He would commit suicide before he would be executed.

=== The Russian Loyalists ===
Overview:
The Russian Loyalists are made up of civilians, military soldiers, and government officials who are loyal to the Russian Federation. By the start of the civil war, there were approximately 3 million Russians who joined the loyalists against the rebellion. The UN and NATO eventually allied themselves with the loyalists during the few months of the war by supplying them with thousands of shipments while also sending special forces to assist the loyalists in destroying or capturing strategic areas. On November 1, NATO eventually joined the conflict by sending millions of their troops to the Russian border from Poland, Finland, and Turkey. For the first time, NATO and Russian forces fought and bled side by side against a common enemy not seen since the Second World War. 
For almost 4 years, the loyalists had been fighting with NATO against the rebellion. They suffered tremendous heavy casualties and were forced to retreat from the eastern regions of the Russian homeland but by 2027, the loyalists finally achieved a major victory in the city of Smolensk when they encircled the 8th Russian Rebel Army which by that year was the most largest efficient military force of the rebellion and forced thousands of tired rebels to surrender. A large major loyalist and NATO military offensive was eventually launched by the start of the 2029 called the “2029 Offensive” that pushed back the rebellion to the occupied city of Moscow and inflicted heavy damage to the remaining rebels. The Russian capital was under siege by a large number of NATO forces on October which ended on November when the rebel government is forced to evacuate from city. 
The loyalists and NATO finally destroyed the rebellion on December 2029 when joint NATO-loyalist special forces killed or captured most of the rebellion’s leaders on a secret stronghold in Siberia in the city of Irkutsk. The Russian civil war ended when the last rebel was killed and the loyalists became the permanent and legitimate leaders of the Russian Federation. 
=== The NATO-UN Forces ===
The National Atlantic Treaty Organization supported the Russian loyalists when the conflict started but were wary of joining it so instead they sent supplies such as financial support for the purchasing of weapons, military equipment, and foods. The defensive organization eventually joined the civil war in Russia on November 1 2026 after meetings with the loyalists has been successful and negotiations with the rebellion failed. NATO forces eventually send their first million troops to Russia
