TheRe Was THiS THinG CallEd The SoviEt UnioN

The russians got sick of dying for the tsar during ww1. They revolted. Six months later, ww1 "ended" (between germans and british, that is) and everybody was redeployed to russia.

Of course a country that's being invaded is totalitarian, wtf do you expect?
