| - The Eastern European thread is taken to be east of the East Central European thread, the later of which may be understood as the base line through eastern parts of modern day Germany, Austria, and western Hungary. The first fiction written within these theatres was the novelette The Wallenstein Gambit and the prequel short stories leading up to it, all published in Ring of Fire but subsequent long fiction planned in the setting had to await authors scheduling issues, so the plot begun by Eric Flint and finished in outline took a back seat to southern, western and central European events which both had ready collaborating authors and themes of their own to explore in the neohistory. So in June 2006, the writing team of Paula Goodlett and Gorg Huff cracked the Eastern European barrier in Butterflies in the Kremlin, Part 1: A Russian Noble when they began the series action in Tsarist Russia in the sometimes comic, sometimes serious serialized novel Butterflies in the Kremlin, which is part adventure, part romance and part spy story. In action to date, an uptime American has moved to Moscow, scandalized the elite of the society, ticked off the bureaucracy and much of the nobility, and helped fight a battle and win it with Poland. Meanwhile the Prince-spy in Grantville has fallen for an American girl (both a commoner and a non-virgin) and as of Grantville Gazette XVIII are getting married, which is a big deal back in the society of old Moscovy, where the church and the nobility hasn't quite come to grips with a changing world and after a century, half of them still haven't noticed that the grand-duchy has become the Tsardom of Russia.
