The government of the UTDTAL is happy to announce to have received a shipment of rice and 500,000 rifles from the great People's Republic of China as well as 100 fighters and 100 bombers borrowed from the USSR. With an extensive recruitment program we aim to increase our ground forces to 600,000 infantrymen. The government also gives its full support to communists in Sweden and hopes that they're efforts will be rewarded with a new era of equality and prosperity. Meanwhile in northern Laos, following an extensive bombing raid on strategic locations 100,000 troops make an assault while elsewhere the forces are on the defensive. PXLpVkTC·For Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov only. You STUPID donkey! Why the heck would you announce that we've been supplying you? Did you not realize that we've been conversing through back channels? Now I'm going to have the Soviet Union trying to get me in everything and the US breathing down my neck. I've already received word from the Soviet Union congratulating me! Why are you the way that you are? Only for Gerd von RundstedtCalm down, it's an RP. How can I possibly make use of the weapons if I don't make it public.

So, as a starting army, we have around 20,000 tanks and 30,000 guns. While there isn't a proper source specifically for 1950, the Soviets had the largest standing army history had ever seen just a few years ago, as well as still having similar numbers, if not more, as well as being the biggest country. Let me know if you think it's too much though. Still, since the USSR had similar numbers both before and after 1950, as well as being a superpower, I think it's fair.
We'll produce 250 fighters and 250 bombers per page until the next order.

We, the Soviet Union, also send 30,000 rifles, machine guns, ammunition, and essential military gear (helmets, armor etc.), as well as humanitarian aid for the civilians and medical aid for the army. We also send a military advice group, including Marshal Kliment Voroshilov (totally just a coincidence Kliment Jefremovitš Vorošilov ) to guide the army during the war. Let it be known to the whole world that the Soviet Union will support the resistance against imperialist and capitalist forces (they're inherently insepererable anyway) throughout the world. Democracy shall prevail. True democracy, socialism shall prevail, thanks to the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, created by the will of the people, against the capitalist forces. Long live our glorious motherland! And the proleteriat of the whole world, arise!

From now on, The Internationale shall be sung together with the State Anthem of the USSR. One is the anthem of our heart, the ideal we're living for, that we shall die for if necessary, and the other is the anthem of our glorious land, the stronghold of the international proletariat. Both are inseperable for us.
"Stand up, ones who are branded by the curse, All the world's starving and enslaved! Our outraged minds are boiling, Ready to lead us into a deadly fight. We will destroy this world of violence Down to the foundations, and then We will build our new world. He who was nothing will become everything!
This is our final and decisive battle; With the Internationale humanity will rise up!
No one will grant us deliverance, Not god, nor tsar, nor hero. We will win our liberation, With our very own hands. To throw down oppression with a skilled hand, To take back what is ours — Fire up the furnace and hammer boldly, while the iron is still hot!
You've sucked enough of our blood, you vampires, With prison, taxes and poverty! You have all the power, all the blessings of the world, And our rights are but an empty sound! We'll make our own lives in a different way And here is our battle cry: All the power to the people of labour! And away with all the parasites!
Contemptible you are in your wealth, You kings of coal and steel! You had your thrones, parasites, At our backs erected. All the factories, all the chambers — All were made by our hands. It's time! We demand the return Of that which was stolen from us.
Enough of the will of kings Stupefying us into the haze of war! War to the tyrants! Peace to the people! Go on strike, sons of the army! And if the tyrants tell us To fall heroically in battle for them — Then, murderers, we will point The muzzles of our cannons at you!
Only we, the workers of the worldwide Great army of labor, Have the right to own the land, But the parasites — never! And if the great thunder rolls Over the pack of dogs and executioners, For us, the sun will forever Shine on with its fiery beams!"

Hilding Hagberg and his entourage have been arrested for causing insurrection. This has caused an uproar amongst the Swedish far-left and Sven Linderot has fled Sweden.

Comrades! The Soviet Union introduces a series of revolutionary reforms, inspired from the legacy of the Paris Commune, the Revolutionary Catalonia and the Makhnovshchina, thus ending the previous Stalinist era. A new era shall begin, with the united front of the anarchists and communists, both for our glorious motherland and the international proletariat.
We're bringing decentralization, workers' collective ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management, as well as a democratically planned economy. We'll improve the existing soviet democracy (i.e. council democracy) to a more direct form, with improved workers' councils and popular assemblies for local issues, like in anarcho-communism or syndicalism. We also reform the party to a true worker's party from the bureaucratic mess it's become. In this way, we'll break the corrupt bureucracy caused by the previous administrations and consequently improve our economy as well. We also promote revolutionary social policies, as well as green socialism and environmentalism, which was more or less ignored by the previous administrations. Capital punishment is almost completely banned, and instead we promote restorative justice and rehabilitation. The repression of the Stalinist regime to fellow socialists will be stopped, and counter-revolutionaries who try to divide us will not be tolerated. As for foreign policy, we'll start implementing proletarian pacifism and promote world revolution. We will oppose all imperialist wars and those of the bourgeoisie, and support all anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist movements, and intervene to protect the interests of the international proletariat if necessary, such as we've done in Vietnam. No war but class war! We shall destrov the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, we shall build a new world from the ashes of the old. We shall overthrow the empires, we shall bring a new age for humanity. The international proletariat is unstoppable, for not a wheel can turn without our arms. We built this world with our very own arms, yet we are starving while they steal our world from us. So, comrades, let us unite once and for all, for solidarity, for equality, for the liberty of all, under our beloved red flag, for humanity shall rise with The Internationale! Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution! The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains, and they have a world to win!Workers of the world, UNITE!

Reporting from Stockholm…
With the communists and far-leftists in the Riksdag arrested or in exile, the exhausted and defeated political left has not put up any fight when the Duke of Halland demanded he be made “Protector of the Swedish Realm.” The right was fully behind this move, as they view that in this time of instability a strong leader is needed. The social democrats put up limited opposition, but since the Riksdag would remain intact, Prime Minister Tage Erlanger has not opposed the move. His Majesty the King has congratulated the Duke but made no other comment.

Hilding Hagberg and his entourage have been arrested for causing insurrection. This has caused an uproar amongst the Swedish far-left and Sven Linderot has fled Sweden. You're literally violating your self-claimed "democracy" by banning a completely legal political party. You claim to have freedom of speech, but you violate this right of those whom you disagree with. You're violting the will of your people, there are many communists in Sweden. The Soviet Union gives an ultimatum to Sweden to legalize the communist party and restore political democracy. If done so, we'd like to improve the relations between our countries. We respect your neutrality, but you are no longer neutral if you ban the communists. From that point on you're anti-commumist, and WE are the leader of the international communist movement.

Only for Kliment Jefremovitš VorošilovThe Soviet Union would like to ask our comrades in Vietnam to publicly condemm the Swedish, or rather, the Duke of Halland. Sweden is actively turning to a far-right dictatorship under him, and I'll do whatever I can to help our comrades there, and I expect you to do the same as much as you can.
As to the war, I think you should end the colonialists for once and for all as soon as possible. You have our full support, as you know.
