### Vladimir Odesza

Odesza was the founder of the USRC, so naturally he was the first leader of the country. He took office on 20th April 2020 with the Title Premier.

Towards the end of his rule progress began slowing in the country. He held his office until his death (19th august 2021)

### Yuri Voronezh

Voronezh served as General Secretary under Odesza, however he abused his power and increased the power of his post by purging his rivals and bribing members for his support. Towards the end of Odesza's rule, General Secretary had more power than the premier and He was de-facto leader of the country. On August 19th 2021, Yuri Voronezh was announced as the new leader following the death of Odesza. Voronezh kept his post as General Secretary and the then Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Anatoli Kurushov was elected as Premier, But There was little he could do about Voronezh's Tyrany. Voronezh oversaw the era of progress, where the country industrialized and modernized. the railway network was extended, factories were built, the Nuclear program was enhanced, The Air force was established and The first Spacecraft was launched into orbit. He also ordered that Nuclear weapons were built. midway through his time as leader, he swapped roles with Anatoli Kurushov, while still retaining his power, which caused tension within the party and made him look like a Tyranical Dictator. He also started the Spook War with Brayland. in the final month of his leadership, the entire Western District of Nevipol was rebuilt and turned into the government district, housing the rebuilt Government House and the palace. The Militsiya (or police) was set up at this time as opposed to having soldiers carrying out law-enforcement duties. it also had a subdivision called OMON, which was the anti-terror unit. The Militsiya got it's own Building in Nevipol. He held his office until his sudden death on December 31st 2021.

### Anatoli Kurushev

Kurushev was the 3rd leader of the USRC. His term was by far, the shortest term in the history of the USRC. he took office following the death of Yuri Voronezh. since Voronezh had again, made Premier the highest role, he knew that he had to get promoted to Premier in order to keep absolute power. He tried to reform the country and introduced a few policies which were downvoted by a considerable amount of the party, namely Hardliners and Therefore a coup was staged by the Hardliners and Set up a provisional Government under a "state of emergency". a day later Kurushev resigned due to "Internal Pressure" however it is rumoured that he was held at gunpoint to sign the Resignation Paper. By this point a new premier had been elected, so he knew he coundn't keep power for much longer anyway. He was later assined the office of "Director of the Energy Board of the USRC".

### Mikhail Leninsky
