"Each empire is born in the fire of war." - Joseph Stalin

*World War I, The Great War. 5 years of bloody chaff, destroyed the Metternich Order, the order thanks to him, by 100 years, wasn't any global or local war. Nothing changed the Metternich peace, not the Spring of Nation, nor the uprisings in occupied countries, nor the Unification of Italy an Germany, nor even the Balkan wars, where European Empires thought for their power. But from the 80 years of XIX century, Europe resembled the powder keg. Everything needed a little push. The turning point came in June 28 of 1914. That day, the archduke of Austria-Hungary, was assasinated by Gavrilo Princip. This event leaded to outbreak of new war between Triple Alliance and Triple Entente. By 5 years Europe was torned apart by mortars and trenchs. For everyone good, the second turning point was the joining of United States to the war. Fresh forces from America, landed in Europe and defeated Germany and Austria-Hungary. Russia was outed from war. We had to deal with both revolution of 1917, and Civil War between White and Reds.

28 June 1919. The signing of Treaty of Versailles. Triple Alliace was biggest looser of war. The great empires felt apart, the new states was created, other one like Poland, after long time of occupation returned at the map of Europe. But two countries weren't happy from the results of Treaty. Weimar Republic ( new name of the Germany), and Soviet Union. They started to work together, signing Treaty of Rapallo and Locarno Treaties. In 30's everyone started realizing that Treaty of Versailles is broken. Europe began to right-winging. In Soviet Union I started the great Purge, eliminating propable traitors and others. After being ellected as Chancellor of Weimar Republic, Hitler started to weaponize his state. In 1936 as the Fuhrer of Third Reich, he joined the Rhineland to the Germany, after 2 years Anschluss took place. The breaking point was Munich Agreement, Reich joined Sudetenland, German-speaking part of Czechoslovakia, in 1939 he joined all. Only this time Europe realized that Hitler want to start the war, but it was too late. In 23 August 1939 in Moscow Ribbetrop-Molotov Pact was signed. Main assumption? Participation of Poland on the line of Vistula, Narew and San rivers (in 29 September the border was changed a bit), and divion of Europe.

The whole plan entered into force at day of 1 September of 1939. In this day the new war started.*

**********************************************************************************************************************

November 1941, Battle of Moscow, Moscow Kremlin, Grand Kremlin Palace, consultalion of dictator of Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin and leaders of defense of city, Generals Zhukov and Wasilevsky and Rokossovsky

"All right Comrades Commanders, we have urgent situation here, the Germans are besiege the city. Wasilevsky how's the situation?"

"Comrade Stalin, the Wehrmacht is near the Kremlin, but our soldiers are still stopping them, we can still win this battle. Germans have worse tanks, the don't have enough proper resources. Their soldiers suffer from cold and they begin to be cannibals. The're eating their dead companions."

"Are you sure Wasilevsky?"

* That was the first time, when I saw the fright in their, eyes. The knew, I wasn't joking, and I could do that, even if they were the most important officers and Red Army. They've only whispered "Yes, Commander Stalin" and left the Palace. I didn't want to push against them, but I knew there's no other option to motivate them. Germans needed only 5 months to reach the foregrounds of Moscow. I became ruthless monster after death of my wife, but now everything changed, my conscience started to hurt, I've realized how big monster I've became and I wanted fix mistakes of the past. But in this time, I shouldn't became nice and kind leader. I should be ruthless and evil to the core. I saw the statistics, Germans in first days had 1 million soldiers, we had 1,25 millions. Only one thing stopped Hitler from attacking Soviet Union earlier. The Balkan Campaign. The pro-German Yugoslavian goverment of duke Paul I, was overthow by people favorable to the British. Of course Mussolini wanted show the Hitler, he can deal with traitors of Nazi Reich. He was wrong. The Duce army was crushed by Yugs and Greeks. Hitler was mad at Mussolin, he had to sent around 300.000 troops. That slowed the planned attack, even when Operation Barbarossa plan was ready. Even when secret service told me about down plane, with two Germans, I set them free. I thought, Hitler and me were still allies. I was so bloody wrong. Whole situation changed in 22 July 1941. 3 German's army groups attacked Soviet Union. I couldn't believe that. I thought that was misunderstanding, but I reminded myself "Mein Kampf". The west territory of Soviet Union had to became a Lebensraum for Aryan Race. I was drinking by 3 days far behind Moscow in my private cottage. But I felt , I should return to Moscow, to lift spirits of Russians, no matter the cost. Suddenly, I was pulled out from my thoughts by voice. That was Kaganovich.

-* I smiled to myself* Well, if such is the will of people, I cannot oppose to her. All right I'll meet with them. Kaganovich, wish me luck.

*I went outside, and started walking to Cathedral.*

***********************************************************************************************************************

* I was talking to citiziens of Moscow, not from the safe walls of Kremlin, but in Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. I told them, we're gonna win this war, the brave Red Army will crush the teutonic and ruthless German demons. I don't know, did they believe me, but i think, this words lifted their spirits. They began to sign the Anthem of Soviet Union , and as if they forgot about battle near their homes. I felt good after speech, and when they ended singing, I've walket out. When i was coming back i saw dead bodies of troops, and wreck tanks. Some kind of people that kind of view crushes, other cures. I was in the second group. After this view I made probably the dumbest decision of my life. I grabbed Mosin and axe, and went to fight against Germans. I've found small group of Soviets, and I called them to me. They were surprised, their leader started fight with Germans. I explained "You're fighting with them, risking your own lives. You're the real heroes, not me. If i want become a hero for citizens of this country, I should fight too. I'm ruthless dictator, who killed your friends and families at the time of Great Purge. Now I owe you a debt, for your steadfastness in defending the city. I want to clear my conscience, and if I die, maybe better leaders will come after me. But enough talk, let's kill those bastards. We're Fucking Soviets Bears, who fears nothing, even this Nazi bitches!!!!! Follow me Comrades!"

Their answer was simple, they started shout one word: URAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I was happy, because I knew, this people will come into fire after me. We marched to the battlefield with Katyusha song, and started attack. How many troops I killed? I don't know, I was on rampage, i killed every soldier with svastika badge od his arm. My soldiers was impressed. Their leader was fighting like a bear, with Mosin and axe. Routine in the killing looked like: some German is rushing, shot in the head, someone behind me, axe to the chest, other one, decapitaded. After this day, they told me I killed 200 Nazis. I don't know how, they neither.

Then, I felt pain in my chest and I realized that I was shot, and I was bleeding. Everyone was scared, what will happened to me, but I only said "That's nothing, what doesn't kill me, just make me stronger." I went to Zhukov and asked "Comrade how is the situation?" "The Nazis bleeds. They will propably stayed, near the Moscow only for 2 months." "Excellent, now is out time." I was fighting, hand with hand with defenders of city, and that small group of Soviet, which I met, became my prominent private formation, "The Red Legion". We even went to fight at Oryol. The armored gave me the short course of steering the KV-1 tank, and with 300 tanks, we started retook the city. The fights was hard but only I destroyed 20 German tanks. My driver was Ivan, young lieutenant from Siberia. When I was asking, what happened to his parents he explained me, the were execute in time of Great Purge. I felt bad for him, I apologized but that wasn't enough. Well, Rome was not built immediately. Honestly the changing point in our relation was controffesive of Waffen-SS, the biggest scoundrels of Nazi system. They destroyed the KV-1, which began to burn. I was outside, but Ivan trapped inside. He was able to kill battalion of SS scums with cannon, but he started to shout to help. Without hesitation, I reached to tank and I grabbed outside burned Ivan. He was shocked, that his leader almost sacrificed his life for saving live of single soldier. I said to him: "For your bravery, you deserved to survive. For bravery in battle, you're promoted to rank of major of panzer battalion. You're rafted into the ranks of Red Legion." He was positive surprised and replied: "I feel honored Comrade Stalin, thank you." I smiled to him and said: "Now do your duty, for the Motherland." Ivan became the symbol of bravery and one of my best friend. We fought hand with hand, leading the troops to fight. And then the 7 January 1942 came, the Konev striked with his Kalinin Front and German Commander Feldmarshall, Fedor von Bock, ordered to stop the offensive and retreat. This day was great for our country, Germans realized that Blitzkrieg means nothing, when you're fighting Red Army. I declared to stay in Moscow to admistrate everything. Soldiers were not against me, they were just honored to fight with their leader.

When i was talking with soldiers, my most loyal dog Lazar Kaganovich, ran up to me and said "Comrade you wouldn't believe but we have strange creatures in Kremlin". "What have you done to them?", I asked. Kaganovich said, they're in Armoury, locked in sow. There was nothing to discuss, I said goodbye to soldiers, I wished them fast victory and run with Kaganovich to Kremlin.*

***********************************************************************************************************************

* I walked with Kaganovich through the Red Square, talking with him.*

*I groaned and said*: -Okay, bring them to Main Hall, in Grand Palace...

*I stayed at the moment, at Red Square, asking myself, why bunch of horses could be danger for Soviet Union. I could understand the Romanov family, white movement, Nazis, even Trotzky, but ponies? That was preposterous. Wait.... Maybe there was other option. Maybe Kaganovich is preparing ruse, to takeover the power in Soviet Union. That's it! There are no ponies, only Kaganovich preparing overthrow. I told Red Guards to follow me, and with 200 men, I started walking to arrest Kaganovich and his man. When we reached the Grand Palace, I told them to wait and I entered first.

*He wasn't lying, I saw 7 colored horses surrouned by NKVD officers, aiming at them. 2 of them were pegasus, 3 other were somewhat normal, 2 others were unicorns, no wait there was unicorn with wings. How Latins calls them? Alicorns? Propably yes. When I was analyzing, what I've just saw, the lavender alicorn spoke to me: "Excuse me sir, I guess you're in charge here, could you explain us, why we were locked in sow of this weird palace? Pretty please? - she smiled shyly.*

* I was thinking for a moment and asked: "What we've should done to them?"*

*the lavender alicorn wasn't delighted* - Rainbow, let me talk to this man.

* After this words, all of these 6 mares, was clung to each other, scared and crying. The thought, they will be executed too, because I didn't need them. The were wrong. Only one of them wasn't scared. Flicker, grey pony with amber eyes and fangs.*

*Suddenly, Pinkie Pie started talking.*

*This worked, the NKVD lowered the gun, with same frighten faces as the ponies at the first time. What was Vorkuta? The worst Gulag in Soviet Union. Hundreds of thousands of people dies here, political prisoners, Whites, traitors, opponents of communist rule, and lot of innocent people.*
