The Second Russian Civil War was a conflict that broke out in May 2020 in Russia, later spreading into the rest of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, between the Russian Communists and Russian Monarchists. Tensions rose extremely following the 2020 State Duma elections, in which the United Russia party legitimately got the majority of the seats, but the elections were rigged by the Communist Party, as a government official informed them of the result before the tallies were announced.
