Tyumen, officially the West Siberian People's Republic, is a dissident communist rump state in western Siberia. It borders Sverdlovsk to the north, Kokshetau and Kostanay to the south, Magnitogorsk and Zlatoust to the east, and Omsk to the west.
History[]
The West Siberian People's Republic was established by Joseph Stalin, an opponent of General Secretary Nikolai Bukharin, and his faction when they fled to Tyumen following the fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The republic initially spanned across the Urals to the city of Omsk with the support of Field Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, Lieutenant-General Dmitry Karbyshev and 3rd and 10th Armies. Following Stalin's death, both generals refused to follow his successor Lazar Kaganovich. Karbyshev, seeing the Kaganovich administration as weak and in decline, seized the city of Omsk to found the Siberian Black League, creating a hostile environment between the two. Rokossovsky, disillusioned with Kaganovich's inaction to prevent this collapse, seized the city of Sverdlovsk with his 3rd army, creating a military junta and leaving Kaganovich with a rump state around Tyumen.
The political system of Tyumen is being governed as a centralized Stalinist one-party state, with its cabinet being filled with ardent supporters of Joseph Stalin of the All-Union Communist Party's centrist wing, attempting to bear an unorthodox form of Bolshevism that goes against Nikolai Bukharin's tenets. Despite being surrounded by enemies on all sides, his revolutionary zeal remains strong and seeks to reunify and reestablish the Soviet Union. He will not stray away from his vision of an all embracing dictatorship of the proletariat as outlined by his former mentor, Joseph Stalin.

| Luftwaffe Terror Bombing | 
|
Every several weeks, Luftwaffe planes from the airfields of Reichskommissariat Moskowien fly over the warlord states of western Russia, gleefully bombing any civilian targets they find as a demented form of "pilot training". While they make life hell for rural communities and can occasionally slip through and rain fire upon provincial cities, they find that lingering for too long in Russian airspace risks interception by the remnants of the Soviet Air Forces. If the Free Aviators were not there to give the Luftwaffe hell at every opportunity, the situation in Russia would be far more dire. |
| Revisionist Remnant | 
|
We may be reduced to the status of a petty remnant state in West Siberia, but we will not let this be the last gasp of the Cause of Lenin. To this end, we may be forced to deviate from Leninist Orthodoxy, but General Secretary Kaganovich has just what is takes; his new doctrine will take us from this ruined state to the successful conclusion of the Revolution. |
| Unorthodox Bolshevism | 
|
It is clear for all that blindly holding on to the idea of Lenin and the Bolsheviks will bring us no future in this changing world. As respectable as the Old Bolsheviks were, we will have to deviate from their ideas, for our own good. |
| The Ural Automotive Plant | 
|
The Ural Automotive Plant is one of the largest factory complexes in Central Siberia, turning out vehicles, civilian and military, by the tens of thousands. Control of the plant will allow the state to produce trucks and light armored vehicles, the lifeblood of modern warfare, in enormous quantity. |
| Lenin's Mausoleum | 
|
The father of the Revolution, Vladimir Illich Lenin, was preserved by his successor upon his death so that all might remember who liberated us from the tyranny of bourgeois rule. During Barbarossa, it was evacuated from his resting place, and now rests in our respectful stewardship. Possession of his remains lends a certain legitimacy to our government in the eyes of the people. |

Trivia[]
Originally, Lazar's brother Mikhail was planned on being a socialist path for Tyumen, but this path was scrapped. It's unknown if he would've been a third choice for Tyumen, or if his path was replaced with Khrushchev's one. Some ideas from this path were turned into the path of Nikita Khrushchev, who represented reformed Stalinism, but his path was removed.
