The Red Initiative

The Red Initiative is the instigating force behind the Second Russian Civil War, following the betrayal of the Russian Federation military by GI forces under the leadership of Bruce "Bunyip" Dunn during the Kursk Incident. The predominantly Australian force had been brought to Russia by Bunyip ostensibly to help with civil protection there, only to instead begin waging a Suit-supported ground war against the Russian Federation under claims that the Federation was a tyrannical regime that did not represent the will of the people. The Red Initiative subsequently brought a fresh wave of death and suffering upon the Russian people by forcing an otherwise completely avoidable civil war and irrevocably ruined relations between the Russian Federation and ACC.
The group was rebranded "the Red Initiative" by the GI in a halfhearted effort to disassociate them from the rest of the  faction, but continued to operate under the GI name with GI insignia until only recently. After Bunyip's drawn-out death due to a refusal to treat his Wilder Syndrome, the group lost whatever direction and planning ability it had and simply continued to fight aimlessly in the name of anarchy against Russian Federation forces. Actual anarchists, communists and self-proclaimed revolutionaries took advantage of the group's belligerence and lack of organization to destabilize military forces in various regions, chipping away at the Russian Federation and "liberating" one pocket of civilization at a time, giving rise to smaller break-away nations such as Don and Kuban, ironically both ethnostates responsible for the forced relocation of hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians. They are greatly hated throughout Russia but generally behave oblivious to their situation, still considering themselves heroes of the people doing what no one else has the courage or power to do. The truth that they're little more than useful idiots for petty despots and authoritarians goes ignored.
