Crimson Dawn OST - Main Theme (by Russian Comrade) Premier Rik Latyeskov 2020-12-07 | This is the de-facto main theme for Crimson Dawn, my alternate-history universe in which a New USSR forms out of the ashes of an economic collapse, a fascist takeover, and finally a Revolution and Civil War against those fascists. The web-novel take place during and after these events, following the life of its first leader, Rik Latyeskov, and the challenges he faces when leading the fledgeling superpower through hell and back. Any similar names, events, characters, etc within this fictional universe are coincidental, and despite its seemingly-political nature, it was never meant to be a political statement. If you would like to read the story as a web-novel, refer to this link on my DeviantArt page: deviantart.com/redrich1917/gallery/53659079/crimson-dawnA huge shout-out to my good friend and fellow YouTuber Russian Comrade for creating this amazing piece of music by combining some of the tracks together from an old video game called Freedom Fighters.

Anthem of the New Uzbek SSR (Remastered, Part of Alt-History) Premier Rik Latyeskov 2020-11-23 | [DISCLAIMER - This is part of Crimson Dawn, my alt-history universe. Any similar names are completely coincidental, and said universe is not meant to be a political statement. Carry on.]This is the Anthem of the New Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic in the Crimson Dawn universe, which is the same as it was during the old USSR. It is a Republic of the New USSR.The New Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a secular, Democratic Socialist nation led by Premier Rik Latyeskov. The New USSR was formed from the aftermath of the 2nd Russian Civil War when General Secretary Rik Latyeskov and the 15 Governors of the Provisional Soviet Republics signed the Treaty of Reunification on Christmas Day of 2024, which officially reunified all former Soviet Republics. Their main ideology, Latyeskovism, is very widely supported throughout the nation, and although there are other parties in the government, the New CPSU has been the majority ever since the New USSR's formation. Thanks to Latyeskov's more lenient approach to Socialism, the New USSR has seen an astounding level of economic and military growth, thus becoming the only remaining superpower in the wake of the 2nd Great Depression that struck back in 2016.
