Two Month Plan

The **Two Month Plan**, also known as the **First Two Month Plan**, was a series of social, political and economic goals created by Generalissimus Leon and the Central Committee of the CPSU for the USSR’s growth. The plan was implemented in March 2019 and took effect until June of the same year.

It was an idea created and drafted by Generalissimus Leon Gazi following the establishment of the Soviet State and the early conflicts facing the USSR. The plan was to transition the Soviet Union from a fledgling, weak state to a developed emerging superpower with an advanced economic and political model. A notable method to achieve this included the recruitment and arrival of foreign manpower from people across the world, which would result in the arrival of many prominent Soviet figures such as Heydar Aliyev and Joseph Konstantin. The USSR led a campaign to brand itself as a utopian state where people from all over the globe could arrive to make a great living for themselves under the principles of equality and justice, taking advantage of the global economic recession which had struck the world and the rise of global immigration.

## Economic policies and urban planning

Apart from the arrival of foreign manpower in the Union, the Two Month Plan included a series of socialist economic policies for the newly established communist state. Such policies were the collectivization of agriculture and collective farming, rapid industrialization and urban planning (especially for the city of Moscow, which had been declared the new capital), Many cities from across the vast Union would see great developments, noticing a rise in population, housing, infrastructure and an overall modernization in many cities. The Two Month Plan would see Moscow’s transformation from a former outskirt of the Empire to a developed capital city.

## Political and military reforms

The Two Month Plan would also be the period where the USSR’s political system would be fully developed, including organs such as the Central Committee, the Council of Peoples’ Commissars and multiple other party ranks. The structure of establishments such as the Red Army, the KGB and the Militsiya would also be expanded, and alongside them the plan would see the gradual centralization of the State’s organs into the Chairman of the Central Committee and Generalissimus, with all power under him.

## Cultural impact

The plan would also foresee a swift change in the Union’s culture, where it was now considered a multicultural society with a blend of different cultures under one banner. The State sought to create a new Soviet, socialist cultural atmosphere, the creation of a new beginning for the newly established nation following the dethronement of the tyrannical monarchy. The Two Month Plan essentially brought upon a "Cultural Revolution” in the nation, with the dominant narrative being that of the Communist party.

## Foreign influence

As a result of the Two Month Plan and the nation’s development, the USSR would also rise in prevalence in international politics and diplomatic affairs. Though many nations, mostly the monarchies and democracies of Europe, were outraged by the revolution and the rise in socialism and Soviet presence globally, the USSR would also see the expansion of its influence across different states wanting to ally with it.

## Backlash and controversies

The majority of the government was essentially unanimously in favour of the plan, however Leon would face backlash from conservative politicians and old Bolsheviks, mainly Grill, who disagreed with the arrival of foreign immigrants and "newbies" in the nation, alongside the drastic changes taking place. Though Grill disagreed with the plan, he remained loyal to Leon nonetheless and would later express his distrust towards the new generation of immigrants, namely Heydar.

## Aftermath

The Two Month Plan would roughly end somewhere in the beginning of Summer 2019, having increased the Soviet population, established the USSR’s foreign presence, enforced the socialist economic model, worked on urban planning and organized the political and military structure of the Soviet State. By the events of Volume 3, the plan had already been finished, and in the events of Volume 4 and the entirety of the Polish War Arc, the USSR’s plan would mainly be the nation’s global expansion, starting in Eastern Europe. The plan had overall proven to be successful, and without it, the Soviet State would not have reached the advanced levels it did.
