> -Igor Elmpt

**Igor Tsezar Elmpt** (February 8th 1957 - October 11th 2054) was a Russian later Chemgotan revolutionary, political leader, military leader, statesman and founding father who was born in Magadan and served as the first President of Chemgota from 2027 to 2043 until his death. During the Chemgotan War of Independence, Igor Elmpt lead the Chemgotan rebel forces to victory against overwhelming odds against the Russian Armed Forces, but with his tactical and strategic thinking he managed to change the tide of war against Russia quickly in the span of 5 years. He helped create the Constitution of Chemgota and the functional organs of the government, particularly the Parliamental Senate. After the Chemgotan War of Independence ended with Chemgota becoming an independent sovereign state with most global recognition, he began to establish diplomatic ties with foreign nations and began to rapidly develop and rebuild Chemgota from the war by initiating large urbanisation, industrialisation, socioeconomic and sociopolitical schemes which helped shape Chemgotan culture and establish the country as a fast growing developing nation. Igor Elmpt lead the newly established Chemgota through years of development, reforms and growth, this time period in Chemgotan period is called the **Golden Years** also known as the **Chemgotan Miracle**. With Igor Elmpt's sweeping reforms focusing on social affairs, he made Chemgota a sprawling social nation by improving the average wage for labour jobs and improvisation of housing and domestic costs for goods & services. Chemgota under Igor Elmpt's leadership was considered the greatest era of Chemgotan history for its rapid development to make most aspects of life, culture, politics, military, economic, scientific and others greater than they were originally, at some points he surpassed the expected growth rate for these aspects with his political thought called Elmptism, which became popular in Chemgota following Igor's legacy and even throughout the world for how successful it was to shape a small nation into a powerful nation state in the coming decades. Igor Elmpt also implemented the **Five Year Policy**. The Five Year Policy is a Chemgotan policy created by Igor Elmpt in which every five years, the nation would rapidly bolster, expand, modernise and develop it's Economic, Geopolitical, Social, Scientific and Military strength to quickly and always ensure that Chemgota would be a progressive nation and to have investment towards social institutions such as Welfare, Education and Healthcare as well, vouching that Chemgota would upkeep it's strength and national idealism with the ideology of Elmptism, Democracy, Libertarianism and Republicanism, Igor Elmpt also thought that merging the Democratic-aligned ideologies of Democracy, Liberalism, Republicanism, Progressivism and Federalism thus forming Elmptism, or commonly known on an international scale as *Libertarian Republicanism*. Igor Elmpt also published his own book known as *Revolution to Evolution* which is popular in Chemgota and throughout the world with political thinkers and political scientists alike. It also is considered the "Democratic Manifesto" as the book explains how Republican, Liberal, Democratic, Federal and Progressive ideas can be merged for the benefit of gathering power and gaining the support to do so. Ironically in Chemgota his legacy is not forgotten and he has been idolised as in having a Cult of Personality in Chemgotan politics and the Chemgotan social structure.

## **Early life**

Igor Elmpt was born on February 8th 1957 in Magadan to his mother Perevalova Elmpt and his father Mirokhin Elmpt, Igor Elmpt described his parents to be tender and loving towards him by giving him support in his childhood and teenage years. Igor Elmpt's family were Gulag workers originally before being released and they were Slavic, originally from Saint Petersburg before being deported for treason, his mother and father shared a poor opinion towards Communism as they viewed it has a tyrannical ideology and were strong Eastern Orthodox Christians which Igor was a strong believer in. Young Igor was also taught by his parents how to fish and hunt, and they educated him personally before enrolling into Magadan Regional Education Center, ever since his parents taught him there political views on the Soviet Union, he found an interest with Politics and aimed to be the representative of Magadan, however with his anti-Communist teachings he found himself supporting Democratic, Libertarian and Republican idealism and wanted nothing better for the Soviet Union to dissolve, eventually after passing both Primary and Secondary educational institutions, he began working with his friends and other employers in the city, his first job was working as a lumberer with his father in which it was mainly a voluntary job due to the fact that he received little pay for his efforts. Igor also lived with his parents for awhile in the city itself which challenged his political viewpoints on Communism further. At one stage he was so enraged by his unfair treatment that he decided to consider himself different than everybody else, and that is when he thought of the concept of Chemgota and declaring himself the first Chemgotan posthumously, which nobody believed as they thought it was his fantasy. At the age of 16 he was forced to move from Magadan under encouragement by his parents to work at the nearby mines located in the Kolyma region which he spent 3 years working and managed to obtain a reasonable salary, so much in fact that when he turned 20 he returned to his parents and he wanted to attend the Far Eastern University located in Vladivostok, his parents at first were hesitant to send him there, however with the money he obtained and with funding from his parents he managed to travel to Vladivostok via fishing boat through a local friend and then he enrolled into the Far Eastern University where he studied Humanities, Law, Politics, Foreign Relations, Leadership and other political subjects alike. After he finished his tuition at Far Eastern University he gained an Alma Mater for his outstanding work at excelling the subjects he fixed his goals on, he then returned to Magadan when he was 25 years old. Now grown up as an Adult he began to run his own local business in Magadan which he eventually handed over to his best friend named Vikhrov Kusma, his relationship with Vikhrov goes back to his primary schooling years where he and Vikhrov had similar backgrounds and political thought, Vikhrov was a half breed between an Evenki and a Slav. They parted ways after high school but Igor got into contact with Vikhrov and worked for Igor's local business before granting ownership to him. Now with Vikhrov focusing on maintaining his own business, Igor began his works as a tradesman and travelled the region from Kamchatka to Yakutia to work, covering a far distance in between.

## **Military service**

### Service in the Red Army

When Igor Elmpt was conscripted in the Soviet Army, he was stationed at Ussuriysk and changed his stationing several times to the cities of Yuzho-Sakhalinsk, Khabarovsk and Chita in the Far Eastern Military Group, he was an Rifleman Private within the 17th Guards Rifle Division where he finished basic and advanced training, for his military dedication he was promoted several times, but never showed his true political affiliation to any of his fellow soldiers in fear of execution for traitorous intentions. Throughout his military career he served in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Yugoslavia, Georgia and Ukraine. Eventually Igor Elmpt improved his military career by completing most of his training and exercises and was rewarded several medals for his brave participation in several battles for his service in the Soviet Army, eventually the Soviet-Afghan War ended with another humiliating defeat for the Soviet Union, which Igor Elmpt was proud of the Afghans for managing to defeat such a large and intimidating foe like the Finnish before them. Both the Winter War and the recent Soviet-Afghan War inspired Igor Elmpt's military strategy and showed easy exploitable options against the Russian Military. When the Soviet Union dissolved in late 1991, Igor Elmpt was pulled from military service once again.

### Russian Armed Forces

Several years later after the fall of the Soviet Union Igor Elmpt was enlisted into the Russian Army and he served in the first and second Chechen Wars, with vast urban warfare mainly in Gronzy, he fought for the Russian side but didn't dedicate himself fighting the enemy Chechens which struggled to obtain independence from Russia, just like what Igor wanted from Russia in Magadan and the rest of the Far East. As the first Chechen War ended with the Chechens managing to repel the Russian offensive in a surprising manner, he was also amused by this and sought that Chemgota would be fairly easy to fight Russia, however when he returned to fight in the second Chechen War, the Russian onslaught managed to decimate the Chechens swiftly and then he lost all hope for Chemgota only until later.

After the Chechen War he soon found himself in the Yugoslav Wars fighting as a expeditionary force for the Serbian (Yugoslav) Army in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo, the Yugoslav Wars was a keypoint in Igor's life as it was the most traumatic event in his lifetime, the Yugoslav Wars were different than most modern wars fought in the present, with frequent use of old doctrines, tactics and strategy which cost the lives of millions in the brutal civil conflict, Igor was lucky that he survived the war and continued his life when he returned to Russia, but that only lasted so long.

Several years later, Igor was now older and he was called as a Captain for a unit of infantry in the Ukrainian War. After the annexation of Crimea and when tensions exploded internally within Ukraine itself, the separation and proclamation of Novorussia forced Igor and his unit were sent to Donbass to fight and confront the Ukrainian Army from advancing into Novorussian territory and eventually his unit was repelled and pushed out of the city, Igor then retreated himself and decided to flee from Ukraine and return to Russia under a different fake identify back to Magadan to avoid suspicion and to be trialled for defection. At this point Igor saw nothing to fight for Russia anymore, as he believed Russia under Putin was a power hungry nationalistic regime which wanted to achieve its arrogant supremacy over the former Soviet nations, making him criticise Putin and Russia in his works furthermore.

## **Political Thinker and Rationalisation**

### Time in Primorskii

After Igor Elmpt left the Russian Armed Forces, he headed back to the Russian Far East via the Trans-Siberian Railway and eventually reached the city of Primorskii in Primorsky Krai, whilst he was in Primorskii he laid down low for awhile, writing his own political thoughts and criticising the Russian government's efforts in the Far East regarding urbanisation, industrialisation, markets, economics, resources, religion, culture and identification, Igor Elmpt believed that his homeland of Magadan was being exploited by large state-owned industries by the Russian government, he also saw the transitional differences between Primorsky and the southern Far East as being more developed and spontaneously benefited by Russia ever since the period of the Russian Empire's existence, as a result of this, he began to draft up his own strategies to overtake the Far East and proclaim a new nation.

#### Meeting Ali Tupenlov

During Igor Elmpt's time in Primorskii, a young Ali Tupenlov was travelling through the Far-Eastern Russia as a part of his motorcycle journey across Russia. During this time, Tupenlov had witnessed scenes of fellow Russian citizens living in impoverished conditions across the rural parts of Russia, without basic facilities and in poverty, which only got worse from Putin's war in Ukraine. By the time Tupenlov arrived in Primorskii with his friend Khalil Ghushayev, Ali had already begun to question his loyalty to Putin, Kadyrov and the rest of the Kremlin. He had met up with people whom he had met in Yatkusk, most notably Vladimir Kalinskyy. From there Tupenlov began to express to Kalinskyy about how disappointed he was at the Russian government about the way they have treated their fellow citizens in the Far East, along with exploiting it's beautiful landscapes for their benefits. Kalinskyy, who had connections with family members of Igor Elmpt, would later introduce Tupenlov and Ghushayev to Igor's cousin, Aleksi Spayevoz, who would arrange the meeting between Tupenlov and Igor Elmpt. During a lengthy conversation with Igor on the night of their first meeting, Igor managed to convince Tupenlov that the Elmptist cause was the one for which he had been searching for. After Elmpt convinced him, Tupenlov immediately signed himself up to be a member of the Democratic Party of the Far East, something that Igor was considering to create in opposition to Putin's United Russia party. Despite "contrasting personalities", along with an immense age gap, from this point on, Ali and Igor began to foster what many deemed a "revolutionary friendship that would change the shape and future of Russia", as a result of their coinciding commitment to anti-Putinism. From there, Tupenlov and Ghushayev would accompany Igor Elmpt on his helicopter flight back to Magadan.

### Return to Magadan

After one month of remaining in Primorskii, Igor Elmpt and Ali Tupenlov took a helicopter flight back to Magadan where they would attempt to convince the people of Magadan to join the Elmptist political conference and to share thoughts onto how to improve the Far East and the eventual permission of autonomy and authority to control their region accordingly without much Russian interference. To convince the people more Igor Elmpt started to take things into his own matters by forming a radical political organisation named the Democratic Party of the Far East (Demokraticheskaya partiya Dal'nego Vostoka) which began to spread its propaganda and believing that the Far East can develop into something better without Russia having to pull the strings, this made Igor Elmpt popular in Magadan and gained national attention by news outlets, gaining the attention and interest needed by the Federal Security Services (FSB).

### The Kidnapping incident

One night in October, Igor Elmpt was visited by mysterious men who confiscated his items and took him into a Black Volga which was a common urban myth in which abductions take place in that certain car and model, the GAZ M21, he was taken a long ride back to Vladivostok where he was forced to pledge his loyalties to Putin and the Russian Federation and was subdued to 2 weeks of frequent and constant torture which impacted his political ideals and beliefs for many years. After he was tortured and threatened for his life several times, Igor Elmpt forced himself into exile to Seattle, United States, where he intended to remain for 8 years attempting to assimilate himself into Western culture and forgetting about the East. But on the other hand, he couldn't resist the urge to return back to Magadan and assist his friends who desperately needed him to keep the Democratic Party of the Far East together if it were to not collapse into total anarchy. Igor would appoint another member of the Party would take him as a place holder, with that place holder being Igor Elmpt's dearest friend Vikhrov.

## **Life in Exile**

When Igor Elmpt was forced into exile to Seattle, USA, Igor still had some close contacts and connections with Vikhrov, Tupenlov and the rest of the Democratic Party, however there was a lack of communication with Igor Elmpt and the Provisional Congress, as he was to keep a low profile from being detected by Russian hackers though telecommunication loops. To further conceal his identity he forged his own fake personality and changed his appearance from being noticed by Russian spies who wanted his head, the fake identity he forged was dubbed "*Fletcher Newman*" and he was a Slavic American from Ukraine, according to his fake social security profile. For the remainder of his years in the United States until 2027 he secretly planned ahead of time for what was to be done and how it should be done and executed properly, he drafted his grand battle plan against the Russians before the war even began, he also rallied many Americans to his support locally, but of course he wanted to be seen as somebody who stumbled across the Chemgotan situation, not actually being apart of it. Although his calls for assistance never seemed to attract attention only until he decided to bring the problem towards the State of Washington, Igor Elmpt's fake identity alongside having expertises in Politics, Business, Economics and Humanities from the Far East University made him easily an outspoken individual to bring a problem towards the Federal government, however a state cannot solve geopolitical problems, so the State of Washington bought up the situation in the next Senatorial hearings, this is where Igor Elmpt manage to gained popularity under his English name of *Fletcher Newman*, Fletcher called for help for the U.S to respond or send support to the resistance, even fake crying about his 'brother' joining up and being killed in Russia on set to make the population mourn for him on live television. This scandal was unnoticed at first but when Igor Elmpt appeared on television, the Russians knew that it was obviously him and that the jig was up. Igor, knowing that he was speaking towards a live audience of hundreds, perhaps millions, knew that he could not hide for long, so he requested departure towards Magadan which was granted with all the U.S Dollars he had, as a result he returned to Magadan 4 months before the initial revolution started and the official formation of the separatist organisation known as the Provisional Congress of Chemgota (PKC).

## **Return to Magadan**

Igor Elmpt landed at Sokol which housed the Magadan International Airport despite being north of the city proper, Igor Elmpt took a trip from Sokol to Magadan after getting into contact with his fellow compatriots and his good friend Vikhrov who respectfully gave Igor Elmpt all political power and responsibilities of the Democratic Party of the Far East once again, Igor Elmpt soon gathered all his collaborators together and planned to stage a revolution within the Far East, not wanting the Russian authorities to know about Igor being back in Magadan and his plans for the foreseeable future, Igor enforced that his members of the Party would begin the open promotion of the Democratic Party as a way to convince more people by using propaganda waves and to install patriotic spirit to explain on how Russia was exploiting the region without caring about the local population and why European Russia has better privileges than the peoples of Magadan or the surrounding states. After gaining more confidence within himself and with pressure within the party, Igor openly revealed himself in Magadan and held a large gathering or around 25,000 people listening to him state on how Chemgota is a great alternative for the people of the Far East and why Russia has betrayed them, instead using them for exploitation like what happened with their ancestors in the Gulags. With Igor's charisma and truthful facts, he pouted along with rousing the people, in which he gained much attention which led to him gaining immense popular support for the Democratic Party. This pleased Igor as the seeds of Revolution was officially sowed and that the initial stage was just about to begin, if only he needed something to contest his gains. That day came soon enough with the Magadan Massacre occurring several weeks before the Chemgotan declaration of independence, as a large amount of protesters were either injured, rounded up or shot to death with live rounds for being pro-independence which ultimately caused the Far Eastern powder keg to explode into large scale political violence and soon after the massacre occurred Igor Elmpt rallied his supporters to raid the Magadan Duma in an attempt to launch a regional coup d'état on the Oblast's government, this was overwhelming successful and Igor Elmpt and his appointed cabinet took full de facto administrative, political and economic control over Magadan Oblast leading to a large halt of society, many people incorrectly believe that the coup on the Magadan Duma instantly signified the Chemgotan separation from Russia, but these claims are false as Magadan still operated as apart of Russia for one week, ironically making Igor Elmpt it's last governor under Russian control. On August 12th the next week, the Democratic Party unilaterally voted in support of independence within the newly established Parliamental Senate, this would see the approval of the a copy of the Declaration of Independence document and was sent directly to Moscow, Igor knowing that the Russians were not going to be fond about the document, Putin was perturbed and believed that the document was absurd and incongruous to maintaining stability within Russia, so the next day Putin broadcasted the official declaration of war against the newly established breakaway state of Chemgota.

### **Revolutionary figurehead**

With Russia declaring war against the Democratic Party of the Far East and subsequently its political entity of the Provisional Congress of Chemgota, Igor Elmpt remained in Magadan and announced towards his supporters that they must prepare and fight, shortly after several public addresses towards the populous of the Far East, Igor Elmpt travelled to the Magadan Duma building which served as the provisional government's political headquarters for the time being, as such Igor Elmpt met with close members and associates of the Parliamental Senate and the revolutionary military commanders of the Chemgotan Defence Force in which Igor discussed in the second annual congress of the Parliamental Senate that defence measures and security of the region must be preserved and the total mobilisation of supporters of the Chemgotan cause. With the congressional meetings eventually deciding that a military plan and doctrine would be established on the instruction of unilateral decision making processes of the Provisional Congress. Russian aristocrats and loyalists within the Far East attempted to stage an attempt to recapture Magadan and other underlining settlements which were aligned with the rebellion under the banner of the fledgling Provisional Congress of Chemgota. Igor Elmpt had to hastily establish and assign advisors and other political figures into his initial provisional government in order to secure various socioeconomic and political interests the newfound Chemgotan government sought after such as the eradication of poverty and income equality, although the establishment of a Chemgotan economy was far from being sustainable. During this timeframe Igor Elmpt was also contracted by an American envoy which was sent to Magadan under clandestine circumstances, the Americans in question were agents and members of the Central Intelligence Agency which saw the potential of supporting the Chemgotan revolutionaries against the Russian forces and the further development of Igor's government and the provisional government. Now being backed by foreign assets and gaining further diplomatic and military support from the Western Powers to secure the rebellion's defence, Igor also began to establish various ministries and departments with other high leading members of the Provisional Congress with universal support within the Parliamental Senate, this subsequently saw the establishment of a "Revolutionary Committee" which was decentralised in nature and focused heavily on both Humanitarian and Military factors and the creation of more provisional governmental institutions and to further consolidate regional and political power and stability to ensure that the population will follow the revolutionary ideas with Igor Elmpt's political standpoint being to support socioeconomic reconstructing and the redevelopment of the Dalstroy region, as such this gain popular support and more revolutionary upheaval began to spread throughout the Far East particularly in the northeast, remarkably on the 12th of August, revolutionaries which were associated with the defence of the Chemgotan rebellion such as Ali Tupenlov and Shcheglesky Yefim managed to raise around 50,000 Partisan and Militia personnel which were then trained and organised as a professionalised and well equipped fighting force within two weeks time with foreign advisors and material support ensuring the fulfilment of a proper fighting force, as such the Chemgotan Defence Force was officially established under Igor Elmpt's directives.

Igor's ambitions managed to reach and stretch far and wide as Igor Elmpt made an official state proclamation that an armed uprising must begin in order to "throw off assets of Muscovite control and jurisdiction within the claimed territories of the Provisional Congress of Chemgota." These announcements to rise up gained localised support and traction as locals within the northeastern regions of the Far East began to rise up and resist Russian authority and control over their localised settlements which caused a large growth of Partisan and Militia movements which were aligned with the Provisional Congress. The Partisan and Militia units were essential for political and propaganda purposes to ensure that every Far Easterner was doing their part for the spirit of the revolution to thrive and to avenge the fallen of the Magadan Massacre and other subsequent anti-Putinist protests across the Far East and Russia as a whole throughout the years, admist the same period of time with the population shifting to further support Igor's ambitions, the Provisional Congress under Igor Elmpt's remarks had began a series of civil defence training and techniques for the local population to be able to defend their homesteads and their families and fellow compatriots from Russian control and occupation, overall the successfulness of these civil defence initiative were indecisive but they are widely renown to be a success by Chemgotans and historians alike as these initiatives also saw further recruitment into the Chemgotan Defence Force along with a rise of decentralised Militia and Partisan cells throughout the region. As such, with Igor Elmpt pledging to serve the people of Chemgota in order to develop, reshape, enhance and to fix various problems the Far East region had historically and to defend the Chemgotan people with the creation of a professional uniformed military along with civil defence factors, Igor Elmpt became a popularist idol for many revolutionaries and much of the people of the Far East both Slavic and Native residents alike supported the Chemgotan cause.

Igor Elmpt also hosted an annual collaborative meeting between separatist leaders and figureheads relating to Igor Elmpt themselves to discuss terms of fairness and the establishment of a common goal and united front in order to break away successfully from Russian tyranny and to eradicate all Russian assets within the region with liquidation, the meeting took place at Stekolny, a settlement north of Sokol situated in Magadan Oblast, at the time of the meeting Stekolny was recently captured by Chemgotan forces and was fortified for the meeting between the Provisional Congress and envoys from several separatist group delegations which was hosted within the church building located at the settlement, after much debating and discussions between the delegates of several separatist groups at the meeting, Igor Elmpt and the other rebellious movements agreed to much of the terms within the negotiations, afterwards the movements decided to merge with the larger and more formidable and foreign backed Provisional Congress of Chemgota, although some remnants still remained scattered throughout the Far East in pockets which were individually aligned to their own accord or ideological aims, these movements however were subdued and were generally neutral towards the PKC but hostile towards the Russian Federation. Shortly after the agreement to merge the factions into the wider PKC, Igor Elmpt set out to meet with further delegates from Western countries in order to secure diplomatic relations and arms deals in order to be supported, the current US President at the time also agreed to send a large surplus of Cold War military equipment towards the Chemgotan forces which were plentiful and was a critical turning point for the Chemgotan Defence Force along with its Militia and Partisan cells which were aligned with the Chemgotan forces.
