Workers' Siberian Front

Workers' Siberian Front (WSF)

"Workers of Russia Shall Rise Again."

The Workers' Siberian Front (WSF) is a militant Bolshevik revolutionary organization founded in 1946 following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the partition of its former territories. Operating primarily within the Confederation of the Urals and the Democratic Republic of Russia, the Front seeks to overthrow both the German-backed governments established after the war and the American-aligned Russian republic in favor of a reunified socialist workers' state.

The organization is among the most active communist insurgencies in postwar Eurasia and has become a major concern for both Berlin and Washington, as it openly rejects National Socialism and capitalist democracy, viewing both as imperialist systems that have divided the Russian people.

Origins

The Workers' Siberian Front was created by surviving Red Army officers, former NKVD personnel, factory workers, miners, and Bolshevik officials who escaped eastward after the collapse of the Soviet government in 1944.

Unable to openly challenge the Axis occupation immediately, many fled into Siberia, where they reorganized under the protection of the Siberian Socialist Union. From there, they established clandestine cells throughout western Russia, determined to continue the revolutionary struggle.

Ideology

The WSF follows a strict Bolshevik-Leninist ideology rooted in revolutionary Marxism.

Its core principles include:

• Restoration of a united socialist Russia.
• Armed proletarian revolution.
• Destruction of fascism and National Socialism.
• Opposition to capitalism and American influence.
• Collective ownership of industry and agriculture.
• International solidarity with socialist movements.

Unlike many other resistance groups, the Front rejects cooperation with liberal democrats or nationalist organizations, arguing that both ultimately serve capitalist interests.

Foreign Support

The Workers' Siberian Front survives largely through the assistance of socialist governments beyond German control.

Siberian Socialist Union

The WSF's principal sponsor provides:

• Modern infantry weapons
• Ammunition
• Training camps
• Intelligence officers
• Medical facilities
• Secure supply corridors across Siberia

Communist China

China secretly supplies:

• Small arms
• Explosives
• Communications equipment
• Political advisors
• Financial assistance

Chinese instructors also assist in guerrilla warfare and underground organization.

Socialist Mongolia

Although possessing fewer resources, Mongolia contributes:

• Horses and transport animals
• Border safe havens
• Volunteer fighters
• Logistics support across remote frontier regions

Together, these three nations form the backbone of the Front's external support network.

Organization

The Workers' Siberian Front is divided into semi-independent regional commands.

Major branches include:

• People's Liberation Brigades
• Industrial Workers' Battalions
• Railway Sabotage Units
• Revolutionary Intelligence Directorate
• Urban Underground Cells

Political Commissars accompany nearly every combat formation, ensuring ideological discipline and organizational cohesion.

Military Doctrine

The Front avoids conventional warfare, instead relying on revolutionary insurgency.

Its preferred tactics include:

• Railway sabotage
• Bomb attacks against military infrastructure
• Ambushes on occupation patrols
• Factory strikes
• Assassinations of collaborationist officials
• Underground propaganda
• Arms theft and supply raids

The WSF is particularly active around industrial centers, believing that urban workers will become the foundation of a future revolution.

Areas of Operation

The movement is most active throughout:

• The Confederation of the Urals
• The Democratic Republic of Russia
• Border regions near the Siberian Socialist Union

Smaller underground cells have also been identified operating inside Moskowien, although German security forces have largely prevented them from expanding there.

Relations with Other Resistance Groups

The Workers' Siberian Front maintains uneasy relations with other anti-German organizations.

It occasionally cooperates with socialist or anti-fascist militias but frequently clashes with:

• Russian nationalist groups
• Monarchist resistance movements
• Liberal democratic organizations
• Anti-German forces receiving American support

The Front considers ideological compromise a threat to the future socialist revolution.

Current Situation (1948)

By 1948, the Workers' Siberian Front has evolved into one of the largest communist insurgent organizations operating in postwar Russia. Though unable to confront conventional armies directly, its extensive underground network has carried out hundreds of sabotage operations against both German-aligned and American-backed governments.

For Berlin, the WSF represents the lingering spirit of Bolshevism that survived the fall of the Soviet Union. For Washington, it is an equally dangerous revolutionary movement capable of destabilizing one of its key allies in Eastern Europe. Despite relentless counterinsurgency campaigns, the Front continues to expand, fueled by foreign support and the belief that the Russian Revolution has not ended—but merely entered a new phase.
