Alexey Badaev

**Aleksei Yegorovich Badayev**, more commonly known as **Alexey Badaev**, (November 16, 1901 - May 2, 1962) was a Russian politician and intelligence agent who served as Prime Minister of the State of Russia Has between June 21, 1953 and May 1, 1962, having previously been interior minister in the government of Pyotr Stolypin.

Born in the last years of the Russian Empire, Alexey Badaev grew up under the oppressive regime of the Bovido occupation of Russia and entered into the KGBR in 1921 as a junior agent, before rising in the ranks to become interior minister under the Stolypin government. Conflict between Prime Minister Pyotr Stolypin and interior minister Alexey Badaev erupted in June 1953 after Badaev was discovered by the DPPC to have sent a letter to Archbishop Matthew Aquila in an attempt to replace Stolypin; Badaev was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment, but members of the KGBR loyal to Badaev conducted a coup d'état with the backing of the Bovido Hassian Clergy, and deposed the government of Pyotr Stolypin, executing the former prime minister on June 21, 1953.

In the aftermath of the coup that had rocketed him to power, Alexey Badaev was appointed as Prime Minister of Russia on June 21, 1953 by Archbishop Matthew Aquila, who supported the imposition of direct control by security forces. On August 17th, 1953, Prime Minister Badaev dissolved the State Duma for elections, which saw KGBR loyalists win election across the board - now with a majority in the Duma, Badaev passed the *Decree on the Legislature* on August 29th, which dissolved the Council of Ministers and replaced it with the State Chamber of the Faith, which served as the new upper house in lieu of the Council. The new Chamber of the Faith was filled with senior clergymen of the Bovido Holy Clergy, allowing the central government in Makassar to impose it's direct rule on the province of Russia Has. At the same time, the Department for the Advancement of Political Purity (DPPC) was closed and absorbed into the Russian State Security Commission (KGBR), giving the KGBR dominance over both Russian politics and its security forces. Further modifications of the constitution of the State of Russia Has took place between September 1953 and April 1956 which gave the KGBR significant new powers, allowing them to form an armed branch to act alongside the Lord's Grand Army whilst also utilising modern surveillance technology to allow the KGBR to bug and record the insides of citizen's houses.

In May 1956, a series of mass protests broke out in the capital city of Vladivostok in response to the near total dominance of the KGBR, with hundreds taking to the streets raising Russian flags in protest against their situations and lack of freedoms within their nation; like the 1935 Vladivostok Riots, the 1956 Vladivostok Riots were marked by intense street fighting between nationalists and KGBR operatives attempting to stomp out the protests. On May 18th, 1956, Prime Minister Alexey Badaev declared martial law to be in place within the State of Russia Has, and the Lord's Grand Army was mobilised into the centre of Vladivostok under the command of General Vladimir Belinsky. Alongside the imposition of martial law, General Belinsky was granted powers to shoot protesters on sight with judicial immunity, resulting in hundreds of casualties. On May 21st, 1956, Prime Minister Badaev undertook a secret visit to Makassar upon the orders of Archbishop Matthew Aquila, and by some accounts was reportedly forced to resign his office as prime minister for the duration of the crisis, with General Belinsky purportedly granted complete military control over the province. By June 1st, 1956, the last of the protests had been quelled and those involved prosecuted and persecuted by the state - on June 2, 1956, Alexey Badaev returned to Vladivostok after having been re-appointed as prime minister, and began to re-assert state control over the province. In retribution for the protests, mass round-ups of dissidents took place across Russia, with General Belinsky's Grand Army still acting as the security forces of the nation whilst the KGBR remained confined to barracks. On August 3, 1956, Prime Minister Badaev passed the *Decree on the Assembly of Congress* which saw the State Duma dissolved and the State Chamber of the Faith become the unicameral chamber of congress in the State of Russia Has.

However, the prestige of Prime Minister Alexey Badaev was badly damaged by the crisis, and General Belinsky began to grow in power within the state as Archbishop Aquila regarded him as a more capable and trustworthy leader - as such, a power struggle between Belinsky and Badaev began to erupt after April 14, 1958 when Vladimir Belinsky was appointed as alternative prime minister, effectively a second or equal prime minister with identical powers to Badaev. As part of his strategy to divide and rule Russia, Archbishop Matthew Aquila took every opportunity to destabilise his subordinates in Russia and force them to compete for his favour, destroying the political class of the nation whilst also silently increasing the power of the Clergy in the process. In December 1961, General Belinsky was also appointed as Commissar for the Faith by the state congress, effectively giving him the consent of the Archbishop to rule as he saw fit. On May 1, 1962, Archbishop Aquila summoned Prime Minister Alexey Badaev to Makassar and formally dismissed him as prime minister, with Belinsky appointed to the post under the renamed title of Governor of Russia Has. On May 2nd, Badaev was executed in Makassar.
