Liquidators

The Liquidators are an Ultraconservative, orthodox guard made up of fanatical religious and Nationalist warriors led by a mad fanatical priest, Alexander Kornilov. The military corps is one of the antagonist factions in Ukraine, featured in The Dark Future: Stories from the East and the main faction of A Liquidator's Diary.
== History ==
After the war, the Liquidators were organized from soldiers and volunteers who formed due to the growing threat in the Zone and took up the fight to defend their homes. Later, survivors who survived in the area also flocked to them in hopes of survival. Their seemingly hopeless struggle has been going on for 10 years, while constantly failing, losing plenty of territory and people due to nearby factions, looters and mutants. At present, they only have control over the Mukachevo stronghold, where they are constantly attacked by mutants and factions such as the Cossack Anarcho-syndicalists, and a special unit organized by the Ukrainian Reich, the Svoboda Movement. For this reason, the fort was thoroughly fortified by the Liquidators and made a self-sufficient, impregnable shelter deep in the Zone.
== Stronghold ==
The Mukachevo stronghold was occupied after the war by Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers, where many civilians also live. The fort is well built and fortified, and energy is provided by solar panels and the power of an underground river, where an entire town of productive and housing estates has been built under the stronghold and the town.
== Military ==
The Liquidators were organized from soldiers of the Ukrainian Security Service, who occupied Mukachevo Stronghold and have been under their protection ever since. They rarely leave their holdings, but their reconnaissance units are sent to the surface of the city of Mukachevo and its surroundings, searching for food, ammunition and other useful resources. They fight with fanatical faith, are extremely self-sacrificing, even giving the last drop of their blood for their fortress and faction, and are not afraid to exterminate an entire surviving community if they see the slightest sign of mutation by radiation.
== Relations with Hungarian stalkers ==
The Liquidators are extremely hostile to the Hungarian stalkers if they invade their territory and immediately capture them or kill them. Despite their relationship, they are peaceful with them as long as they stay away from their closed and forbidden zones, as long as they do not plunder the guards' warehouses and do not go too close to the Mukachevo stronghold.
== Transcarpathian Crisis ==
In 2063, during the "Ruthenian Crisis", a military unit called the Svoboda Movement launched an attack on the Transcarpathian border, where border guards, soldiers and volunteer units fought against them, then were defeated by the Siege of Tarpai Vineyard before they began to flee. Some of the surviving Ukrainian militias flew half of Mukachevo where they were captured and killed by the Liquidators.
