To the South, the Russian Republic borders the Union of Transcaucasia, and several Chinese Warlord States, Mongolia and the Japanese in Korea.

The Russian Civil War (1917 - 1921/1925)
The Russian Civil War, initially for the White Russians, turned out poorly, the reds controlled the main power centers in Russia, Petrograd, and Moscow. However, by 1918, the luck of the Russian Republic was turning, a coalition of the French, Italians, Americans, British, German s, and others were helping the Republic fight against the Red menace. By 1921, the Bolsheviks had been snuffed out in Russia, the leaders of the Reds, Trotsky, Lenin and others were killed. However, some of the Bolshevik leaders fled South into South of the Caucasus, where the Russians have been unable to get past the mountains.

World War One and Post War (1918 - 1929)
In 1918, the Russians were forced to sign the Treaty of Brest Litovsk with the German s, giving up most of their land, namely, Poland, the Baltic, Ukraine, and Belorussia. Russia lost much of its industry, coal and other resources. The Russians spent many of its resources trying to get past the Caucasus to finally wipe out the Reds, but to no avail. In 1925 the Russians and the Transcaucasian Union signed an armistice. The Russians spent their time rebuilding after the armistice.

The Great Depression (1929 - )
The Russian Republic is one of the most affected countries by the Great Depression, having taken out several loans from multiple countries, namely the German s and the British. The Russian economy dipped almost immediately, and unemployment skyrocketed. Germany and Britain, some of the sole providers of Russian debt wanted their money back, which they were unable to pay. So in order to pay off the debt, the Russian Republic went into hyper inflation. In 1933 the Russian Republic launched a military invasion into Konstantiniyye attempting to capture the city, which would help Russian trade. The Ottoman troops in Konstantiniyye collapsed. However this provoked responses from the British, who threatened to blockade the Russians and destroy the Russian Black Sea Fleet. In a matter of weeks, the Russians retreated from Konstantiniyye.
