The old order fell to the test of time and the republic of the federation was born but the monarchy did not cease to exist. The Romanovs may have been exiled to Sueken yet joining them were their many loyal servants. One of which was Lev Radilov, a young sailor whose patriotic fervor, unmatched even among the lower nobility, earned him an audience with the Tsar-in-Exile who may not have been as cunning as his father was before but he recognized opportunity even when it was served to him on a wooden plate. Among many others, Radilov returned to the Rus Yolk with a thousand crowns in tow, bought some land on the seaside and was enrolled in the naval officers’ academy. In his youth, he was hardly anyone notable. He fought in no battles except for a few skirmishes with fishermen who came from the north and tavern brawls and in an oligarchy like the new Rus, he was destined to remain a lieutenant before retirement but rank was not everything to him. If there was one thing that his comrades have said about Lev Radilov was that he had a gifted tongue. It spoke as if it knew everything and it could spin tales that satisfied everyone. It was that that made him an essential piece to the chessboard that the Tsar was playing on but we will never know what he truly felt when he was alive.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWYo7voj87
Not many years after the collapse of the old regime, the Rus went into political paralysis. Its government was often split between the military and the administrators and the people had to suffer for it. Protests became riots. Riots became rebellions. Rebellions became armies and from armies came war. Reform was needed and quick but it seemed at that moment, a return to the old regime was vital for survival. However, the Premier and the Grand Marshal could not have simply invited the Tsar to retake his throne, it would have meant certain death. Instead, they requested for a Tsarist delegation to negotiate new policies that would satisfy the populace and what better man did they have than the ultra-Tsarist Radilov? He entered the negotiation chamber with an air of guaranteed victory and strong-armed the Premier and Grand Marshal into a deal that quietened the millions who had declared war on the government but there was a vital concept that earned Radilov the popularity and the position that his son held also as the third power vying for hegemony within the nation. He reintroduced meritocracy that Alexei the Great had installed and to thank him for it, the pacified rebels became the millions of supporters that the Radilov boasted at the height of their power.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUTjr8ham1
His ambition did not end there. There were many among the old regime who were disgruntled that an upstart, commoner peasant and sailor earned a seat among the nobility despite the fact that they themselves had been elevated because of their merits also. However, Lev Radilov was not a man that acted on emotion. He set his eyes on annihilating his rivals and his son continued this tradition and I was there to see it.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsdueB3YF4
