the CPRF is weird bc half of the party are really socially conservative left nationalist types more obsessed with Soviet imagery than revolutionary ideology and those guys might as well be controlled opposition, but at least another 35-45% of the party are the actual left opposition in Russia not explicitly concentrated in the activist sphere or the Anarchists.

on that note I feel like introducing you to another obscure CRPF member that you might find potentially useful



Temur Sartifovich Avdoi, b. 1978, a member of the "Comfortable Ramenki" coalition (opposed to mass infill development and paid parking lots), endorsed by Lobanov, had been stripped of his nomination by the CPRF due to pressure from local functionary Nikolai Volkov along with Emilia Khokhlova due to their opposition to the war; his son Maksim, b. 2004, ran in his stead.

Temur Avdoi is Kurdish and wrote a dissertation on the Kurdish question in modern geopolitics

Every single politician screams Russian Politician to me, from the United Russia fella who looks like he used to play rugby to the LDPR guy who’s weirdly youthful and probably really fucking weird.

this is going to be extremely funny bc this could actually happen

only problem is De Blasio and Smalls are both from New York and therefore wouldn't be constitutionally eligible to win New York's electoral votes

I thought Smalls was from New Jersey but sure

 

[Comrade Izaac]

I thought Smalls was from New Jersey but sure

if i recall correctly he headlined the Staten Island Unionization Campaign and lives in one of the Burroughs, could be wrong of course

Is Tuva Shoigu's personal fiefdom?

Is Tuva Shoigu's personal fiefdom?

No, but it saw enough riots and PLA involvement during the late stages of the Anti-Putin War that it was seen fit to put its continued inclusion in the People's Federal Republic of Russia to a referendum.

Hopefully my last non-infobox post in a long while but I've been frequenting donjon.bin.sh lately and I find its generators very varied, slick and fun

That said here's an excerpt from a list of cyberpunk NPCs that I've decided to share because I find it funny
