Second Russian Civil War (Empress Of The Orient Sea)

The Second Russian Civil War (Russian: Вторая гражданская война в России; 28 November 2022 — 18 March 2024) was a second multi-party civil war in the former Russian Federation sparked by the dissolution of the Putin administration and the new military junta government's failure to maintain stability and order, as many factions vied to determine Russia's political future in the 21st century. It resulted in the formation of the Russian Republic and later the Greater Russian Republic's in most of its territory. Its finale marked the end of the Second Russian Revolution, which was one of the key events of the 21sth century.
Vladimir Putin's dictatorial government had been overthrown after Putin's death on October 5, and Russia was in a state of political flux. A tense summer culminated in the Democratic-led Monday Revolution leading a revolt against the Military Junta Government of the Russian Federation. Military junta rule under Putin loyalists was not universally accepted, and the country descended into civil war following the revolt. The two largest combatants were the Russian Army, fighting for the loyalists led by General Aleksandr Dvornikov, and the loosely allied forces known as the Russian Democratic Army, which included diverse interests favouring political monarchism, capitalism and social democracy, each with democratic and anti-democratic variants. In addition, rival militant groups, notably the Winter Socialists of the Siberian region and the Fascist Russian Union of the Irkutsk region as well as non-ideological green armies, opposed the loyalists, the Russian Democratic Army and foreign interventionists. Many foreign nations intervened against the Loyalists, notably the western military forces with the goal of establishing a pro-western democratic republic. Three allied nations with the Loyalists also intervened, rivaling the western intervention with the main goal of retaining the junta government. 
The Loyalists initially consolidated control over most of the country. In October 25, Russian soldiers and civilians revolted in Siberia. In reaction, the EU along with the United States began an intervention in Northern Russia and Siberia. That, combined with the creation of the new Russian Republic led by Alexei Navalny, saw the reduction of the Loyalists to most of European Russia and parts of Central Asia. In November, Alexei Navalny launched a coup to take control of the Russian State, establishing a true democratic peaceful government friendly to the west.
The Russian Democratic Army launched several attacks from the east in March, the south in July, and west in November 29. The advances were later checked by the Eastern Front counteroffensive, the Southern Front counteroffensive, and the defeat of the Northwestern Army. However, The Loyalists also suffered greater loss as they faced large uprisings and revolts that were continuously increasing in number. By December 15, a stalemate had formed in the various fronts around Russia. 
The armies under Navalny eventually launched a large scale offensive eastward. Rebel forces advanced east, despite encountering resistance from Loyalist forces. Meanwhile the Loyalist Army split the 3rd and 8th rebel armies, forcing evacuations of the rebellion in Tomsk in February 2023 and the Yamalia in March 2023. After that, anti-loyalist resistance was sporadic for several years in the East with the loyalist forces inflicting heavy casualties to the rebels in the east. However, the rebellion launched a devastating blow to the loyalist government as they divided two of the loyalist largest armies in the regions of Krasnoyarsk and Khantia-Mansia. By September 2023, the loyalists had abandoned the west to the rebellion and consolidated their remaining but demoralized armies in the East to prevent complete destruction. The rebellion was also tired as they lost hundreds of their men and material so instead of continuing to push to the east, they began to rest while receiving continued aid from the west then eventually the UN. Fighting continued in December and escalated into January but it was inevitable that the loyalists would be defeated as mutinies erupted around their ranks, supplies were dwindling, and the rebellion was getting stronger. By March 2023, the loyalists were in their last legs and were forced to surrender, ending the civil war.
