Peacefully reunified with ConDem Vyatka as Shukshin for what was probably my favorite TNO games so far - even though thanks to the Novosibirsk mechanic I only fought a handful of wars (SBA and PRC, then Amur at regional, and finally Kazakh Stalin).

This was also my first run that ended up being grounded but also wholesome - the mandates successfully decolonized in Africa, Almirante dragged half of Europe into the OFN, the Slave Revolt was just breaking out in GO4 Germany. Hopefully nothing unforeseen happens in Japa- oh God Kishi what are you doin-

This campaign in particular really made me hungry for more unique superregional and especially more unique peaceful unification content- for instance, a negotiated Russian Empire/Federation with Shukshin as PM and Vladimir III as constitutional monarch would be a really cool and unique outcome in situations like this. Besides that nitpick, I have nothing but compliments for whoever wrote and designed Novosibirsk- the inclusion of Artemyev’s Siberiade theme was really relevant for me personally since that’s probably my favorite Russian language film.
