The events of Doomsday were catastrophic for the people of the western USSR, as the vast majority of the USA's targets were in that region and much of it was turned into a nuclear wasteland. However, not everything was destroyed and soon several distinct communities began to form in Russian Ukraine and the area south of Moscow. There were many threats to the new communities, however most notably, the Soviet Army forces under the command of Colonel Andrey Tretyak, these consisted of the 6th Guards division in Kursk and the 206th Motor Rifle Division in Tambov. He was intent on bringing the region back under the control of the USSR.

| - The events of Doomsday were catastrophic for the people of the western USSR, as the vast majority of the USA's targets were in that region and much of it was turned into a nuclear wasteland. However, not everything was destroyed and soon several distinct communities began to form in Russian Ukraine and the area south of Moscow. There were many threats to the new communities, however most notably, the Soviet Army forces under the command of Colonel Andrey Tretyak, these consisted of the 6th Guards division in Kursk and the 206th Motor Rifle Division in Tambov. He was intent on bringing the region back under the control of the USSR. The various groups banded together to fight of Andrey's forces but they lacked any weapons or major equipment, thankfully luck was on their side though and when Andrey dispatched two brigades of the 206th to Chertkovo, the soldiers resented being forced to attack Russian and Ukrainian citizens and the majority of them defected to the citizens there. Angry at this failure Andrey dispatched the rest of the 206th's forces to crush the civilians and bring the region firmly under his control. However, he again underestimated the soldiers wish not to attack Russians and again the majority of the attacking forces defected. Finally grasping the idea that the forces under his command would not attack other Russians Andrey gave up and instead led his forces to attack weaker pray at the city of Rossosh, which was in desperate need of assistance, as other ex-Soviet troops in the area had begun openly raiding local communities, or had otherwise left the region for greater security in the east. He would offer them protection for a token supply of food and supplies, gradually winning over the local population. There he would start a firm rule, gradually expanding into local territory. Thus the foundations of the RC were laid. After several years of uneasy peace, trading with the population that Andrey had attacked in the past started. Trading proved beneficial for the smaller towns still left intact, albeit plagued by radiation sickness and other diseases. Andrey still wanted to exert control over the region, this time opting for a diplomatic route. He argued that a strong council and joint military force between the small communities, as well as unrestricted trade, would greatly improve their chances of survival in the harsh region. Thus, exactly 4 years after Doomsday, on September 26th 1987, the Russian Confederacy was formed. In the following years the borders of the RC were harshly patrolled by the 206th and 6th divisions with orders to shoot any refugees attempting to escape from the wasteland to the north or the ruins to the west. Others, living in the RC, together with soldiers from the two divisions, seeing such harsh treatment of the Ukrainians, together with their own people, decided to leave the RDC for the rumored stable country to the east, still controlled by the remains of the Soviet government. This state of affairs continued for two years until a Ukrainian man called Vasyl Koltun was able to evade the guards and get into the RC and told people about the horrible treatment that Russians now faced under a Ukrainian dictatorship in far east Ukraine. Vasyl had hoped that stories of Russians being treated harshly would inspire the RC to invade far east Ukraine and free his own people as well. This worked better than he could have imagined.
