Changes

In the fictional universe of [[Sunborn]], the "Old Soviet Union"<ref name=PL1 /> was a pioneer in researching [[relicsRelic Technology|Relic technology]] technology. It broke apart in 1991 but was reborn in 2032 as the '''Neo-Soviet Union''' (formally 新苏维埃共和国联盟, shortened 新苏联, Новый Советский Союз),<ref name=Ch116 /><ref>[[Isomer]], {{cite|gfl|iso|Illusory Peace I & Faith of Blood II}}</ref><ref>[[Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium]], Purification Zone</ref> which was left weakened after [[World War Three]] like most governmental organizations.

The '''Bureau of State Security''' (国家安全局<ref name=CT>[[Continuum Turbulence]], {{cite|gfl|ct|Hurricane Rescue}}</ref>, Бюро государственной безопасности), also shortened '''StateSec''' (安全局<ref name=SG35 /> or 安全部门<ref>{{cite|pnc|[[Clukay]]'s voice lines}}</ref>, BGB), is the secret police of the Neo Soviet Union. It is sometimes called by the name of its predecessor agency in the Old Soviet Union, the '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KGB Committee of State Security]''' (国家安全委员会, 克格勃, Комитет государственной безопасности, KGB).<ref name=Singu />

The director of the Bureau is [[Zielinski|Viktor Zelinski]],<ref name=CT /> who used to hold the position of Minister of Internal Affairs at the same time.<ref name=N2Z>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.2]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf2|part. 4, File Number “Soviet-N2-Z” }} ; In [[Singularity]] Last Resort I, Zelinski refers to the Minister as someone else than himself, implying that he did not occupy the position of Minister of Internal Affairs in 2064.</ref> {{doll name|M16A1|AR|4}}, {{doll name|HK416|AR|5}}, {{doll name|UMP45|SMG|4}} and {{doll name|UMP40|SMG|4}} worked for the Bureau at some point in the past.

[[K]] also works with the Bureau {{spoiler|as a liaised agent of the [[Germany|German Stasi]].}}<ref>[[Polarized Light]], {{cite|gfl|pl|Tempering I}}</ref>

The name of the Bureau is sometimes translated '''Ministry of National Security''' (国家安全部, Министерство национальной безопасности, MNB) in the game<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]] [[Story]] {{cite|gfl|4-2}}</ref><ref>[[Deep Dive]] {{cite|gfl|dd|2-3, Audio File 6}}</ref> and by fans as or '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Security_Service Federal Security Service]''' <ref name=SG35>{{cite|gfl|sg|Last Resort V}}</ref> (聯邦安全局, Федеральная служба безопасности, FSB)in the game, the equivalent agency of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia Russian Federation]. ====Members====*[[Victor Zelinsky]] (director)*[[K]] (?)*[[K|Malorhe]]*[[Angelia]] (commander of DEFY)*{{doll name|AK-12|AR|5}}*{{doll name|AN-94|AR|5}}*{{doll name|AK-15|AR|5}}*{{doll name|RPK-16|MG|5}}*[[Shaw]]*[[Mikhail Tsvigun]] ====Vympel===='''Vympel''', formally ''Directorate V'' (Управле́ние В), is a special forces unit formed under the KGB, now under the command of the Bureau of State Security. While one of the most elite forces of the country, their intervention also carries political consequences on the international scene the Neo Soviet government prefers to avoid in certain issues. Vympel was deployed on stand-by outside Belgrade as a last ditch during the peace talks held by [[Gilda Ulrich]] and Ambassador Roshchin, with [[Griffin & Kryuger]] acting as the main protection force to avoid the political complications of Soviet special forces being deployed in a neutral country.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sc|Confidential Information I}}</ref> They then captured [[Angelia]] when she tried to steal the [[Pike]] node and escape the city.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sc|Confidential Information III}}</ref> A Vympel contingent was deployed in the vicinity of the Paldiski Submarine Base when Griffin & Kryuger, the [[KCCO]] and [[Sangvis Ferri]] waged battle against [[Paradeus]] and each others, standing by with demolition teams to seal the base in the aftermath or strike alongside strategic bombers from the 22nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Division in case the Starfish was to be activated.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sc|Confidential Information XIV}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Lamp Starter}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|dr|Departure Time III}}</ref> [[K]] invoked his authority {{spoiler|as a [[Stasi]] top agent}} to get an air strike and destroy the KCCO forces as they were about to break into the base.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Tempering I}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|pl|Polishing}}</ref>

The '''[[wikipedia:Ministry of Internal Affairs (Russia)|Ministry of Internal Affairs ]]''' (內务部, Министерство внутренних дел) is a branch dedicated to maintaining the internal stability of the Neo-Soviet Union. It shares its name with the real-world Russian MVD, successor to the Soviet People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs or NKVD (内务人民委员部). They worked with the Bureau of State Security to counter Carter's plan in 2064.<ref name=Singu>{{cite|gfl|sg|Last Resort I}}</ref> [[Berezovich Kryuger]] worked for this ministry before retiring and founding the [[SingularityGriffin & Kryuger]], Last Resort IPMC in 2053.<ref>{{cite|cf1|The Second Generation of Tactical Dolls}}</ref>

In 1950, the Soviets started experiments with the “Starfish” installation at the Tabasar-B Proving Grounds. The installation was 146.63 km² large with five branches radiating from its center in a starfish-like shape and was a replica of the production system which was the purpose of the Bleicherode relic. Though it would take timeto produce results, the Starfish was a matter of great concern for the US because they couldn't know if it was an offensive system, and they kept over two bases' worth of strategic nuclear weapons pointed at the site as soon as they developed the necessary intercontinental ballistic missile capability.<ref name=Bakery2>[[Codename: Bakery Girl]], {{cite|bg|Secret Document 2}}</ref> The site was very heavily defended, with a regiment worth of aircrafts, a cordon of anti-air turrets and a dense coverage of missiles including SA-2 Guidelines.

In 1957, the Soviets launched the first man-made satellite, prompting the US to reform their relics research structure. In 1958, the Soviet Union discovered the existence of the American relics site D1. On direct instructions from Khrushchev, the KGB formed the 16th Directorate to handle all relics research and excavation, accelerating the rate of discoveries. Mengele's new research institute and his previous research circulated in Gulag camps for further experiments, the largest one being in the Falkland Islands.<ref name=Bakery5>[[Codename: Bakery Girl]], {{cite|bg|Secret Document 5}}</ref> M.J. Syrzrvia and Professor Romansky of the Lomonosov State University's work permitted the Starfish to yield results in 1961 by poducing the first controllable "[[Pike|Moron]]" constructs, whose potential as weapons was obvious. However, only 4 to 6 units could be produced per year due the a lack of understanding of the production technology and process.<ref name=Bakery3 /> Continuing on the high notes of the Vienna Summit, the construction of the Berlin Wall and the resumption of illegal nuclear tests, Khrushchev took another occasion to frighten the US by making the first public display of relic research results by parading the Morons during the October Revolution Parade in November 1961.<ref name=Bakery5 /> The effect was immediate: Kennedy announced they were abandoning the Apollo program to focus on Relics development the day after the parade.

After a meeting with Cuban leader Fidel Castro, the Soviets shipped Morons, anti-air missiles and new fighter models to Cuba, starting the Cuban Moron Crisis. The American government was forced to withdraw their nuclear warheads from Europe in exchange for the Soviets removing the Morons from Cuba, causing North European countries to leave NATO in the following years.<ref name=CF24>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.2]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf2|part. 4}}</ref> Following the success of the Starfish, no real progress was made by the Soviets because of their system of independent research sites, which hampered information sharing. Syrzrvia asked multiple time to the 16th Directorate to centralize information at the Lomonosov State University, but this system was too similar to the American centralization of research in ARPA, so the KGB opposed the method until the 1973 OKb-10 incident.<ref name=Bakery3>[[Codename: Bakery Girl]], {{cite|bg|Secret Document 3}}</ref> The United States caught up to the Soviet Union during the time Moron's new version, the [[Pike]], were being created, developing efficient systems for their strategic bombers and naval forces. The Kremlin displayed 32 Pikes publicly again during the 1972 October Revolution Parade, which shocked the Americans who didn't expect the Morons to become field-ready so soon. Fearing a Pike deployment in Vietnam, Kennedy recalled US troops and doubled on Relics research effort. But both the Soviet and Americans were baffled by the speed of South Vietnam's defeat due to low morale and failure of their command and control structure. The West and the East realized that high-tech weapons could only be reliably used by high-tech C&C systems. The United States' response was the development of ARPANET, while the Soviet Union developed the [[OGAS]] network to use it as a continent-wide Pike command system.<ref name=CF24 />

Between 1950 and 1980, 5 relics sites were found on Soviet soil: OKb-37 in Ukraine, OKb-88 at Kapustin Yar on the shores of the River Volga, OKb-11 at Iturup Island, OKb-456 at Siberia’s Yamsk-1 and the infamous OKb-10 under the Arctic polar ice cap. These last two were estimated to be over 100 square kilometers in area.<ref name=Bakery5 /> In 1981, as the Soviet Union was bogged down in Afghanistan, it deployed a relic technology weapon in live combat for the first time by using Pikes to utterly destroy CIA training camps and fortified villages sheltering mujahideen leaders. However, the rate of [[ELID]] infection was growing rapidly worldwide with the intensity of relics research, and by 1981 the growth rate was deemed a threat to mankind's survival both by the West and the East.<ref name=Bakery9>[[Codename: Bakery Girl]], {{cite|bg|Secret Document 9}}</ref>

With mediation from the Vatican and World Health Organization, the [[Relic Arms Limitation Treaty]] was signed on 3 November 1981. The US and Soviets agreed to stop relics research effort for the time being, to dismantle currently deployed relics weapons, and to work toward a vaccine for ELID, with research starting in 1983.<ref name=Bakery9>[[Codename: Bakery Girl]], {{cite|bg|Secret Document 9}}</ref> The Falkland Islands gulag experimental installations passed under the [[United Nations]] Medical Research Institute as part of the Treaty.<ref name=Bakery5 /> The Treaty would later be expanded into the Relic Technology Convention, paving the way to international collaboration on relics technology and the [[GAVIRUL]] Reproduction Projects.<ref name=Bakery9 /> On 1 July 1983, Yuri Andropov and Ronald Reagan announced the ratification of the Geneva Bulletin, officially ending the Cold War.

By 2030, Bolshevik groups had appeared within the Russian Federation and worked secretly to bring back the Soviet Union, infiltrating their troops as deep as the Federal Security Service, the Navy and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Among the deep agents were Mikhail Tsvigun, now General, and his protégé [[Zielinski|Viktor Zelinski]].<ref name=CF21 /> Tsvigun didn't cooperate much with the federal government to help them handle the situation of the [[Beilan Island Incident]], but gave much more information to the Neo-Soviet Communist movement. Spreading information through the Internet, the Bolsheviks helped local institutions take care of disaster relief themselves, ridiculing the Ministry of Emergency Situations.<ref name=CF24 /> The Bolsheviks discreetly supported the provincial government during the evacuation of the Russian Far East, which enabled them to seize [[Rossartrism|Raeder Rossartre]] and subject Delta III on 3 July 2030 as they fled from the Japan contaminated area. Rossartre had met Tsvigun in 2023 and trusted him as one of the last Soviet gatekeepers of Relic Technology, so he contacted him to organize his escape. At the Bolshevik HQ in Moscow 5 days later, the Bolsheviks seized Delta III and Rossartre told Tsvigun about his experience in irradiated China, Korea and Japan while his notes were duplicated. He was then sent back on a night flight to the London branch of the UNRA while experiments were conducted on Delta III, though they proved inconclusive.<ref name=CF21>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.2]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf2|part. 1}}</ref>

In November 2044, in response to the German government in Frankfurt refusing to prioritize reconstructing North and East Germany after the Northern Lights Incident, the German Social Democratic party, with support from regional units of the Bundespolizei and Bundeswehr, organized an uprising and started the German Civil War. As early as the second day of the uprising, the Social Democrats asked Moscow through the Soviet Embassy in Berlin to send troops to intervene and support East Germany. Because the Frankfurt government had broken the cornerstone of unified Germany the Americans and Soviets had agreed on in 1983, Soviet intervention had a legal basis. This also gave the Soviets an occasion to strike back at Brussels for their involvement into the Ukraine Civil War. The Soviet Baltic Fleet planned a landing at Rostock while Soviet paratroopers planned to drop directly into Berlin. On 1 December 2044, Soviet airborne troops circled around the EU surveillance radars in Poland and successfully landed at Schönefeld Airport, which allowed them to provide tanks and other heavy weapons to the East Germans. Six days later, the EU rapid-response forces entered Berlin without resistance but soon found the barricades prepared by the Soviet Army on Straße des 17 Juni. The internal German situation had enabled the Soviets to enter the EU sphere of influence, and so the US soon entered Europe too. Germany became the site of a protracted international power struggle that soon evolved into [[World War Three]].<ref name=CF23>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.2]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf2|part. 3}}</ref>

The armed Dolls proved very effective as shattering the US military's advance, and while their design faults meant that only a few remained of the 8000 units sent into the fray, the Ministry of Defense changed its mind on armed Dolls:<ref name=CF22 /> new batches were used during the campaign in Lybia as soon as the last months of 2047.<ref>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.2]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf2|part. 5}}</ref> During Operation Tradewind in Italy in 2050, the new generation of Sangvis Ferri and IOP dolls showed astonishing performance, accompanying multi-legged robots in breaking through the mountain defense lines of Southern Italy and swiftly forcing Rome to capitulate.

World War Three came to a sudden end in 2050. In the stagnating world economy, Western POWs slowly began cleaning up the battlefields and rebuilding under the supervision of the Warsaw Pact, with a special focus on providing Europe with much-needed food. As protests erupted starting in the spring of 2051, more and more weakened nations began to rely on PMCs for law enforcement in the main agricultural areas of Ukraine and recolonized Africa. Most of these PMCs were founded by retired veterans from Eastern Europe, conducting operations under the charter of the Soviet International Military Cooperation Bureau. As Dolls started to become a common sight among PMCs troops, conventional long-duration batteries could no longer satisfy the requirements for both civilian and law enforcement uses. In 2052, the Soviet National Research Center announced they had created a contained plasma slow release and discharge power cell, a safe power source expanding Dolls operational time from 20 hours to 150 hours.<ref name=CF22>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.2]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf2|part. 2}}</ref>

In the dire situation after World War Three, the ideology of [[Rossartrism]] gained popularity in nations all over the world, and the Soviet Union eventually joined the [[Union of Rossartrism Nations Coalition]], which was created in 2064.<ref>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], [[Confidential Files]], {{cite|cf1|part. 4}}</ref><ref>While the relationship between the Neo-Soviet Union and the URNC is not yet explained in clear terms, the fact that the Neo-Soviet Union is referred to as a specific entity in [[Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium]], which takes place in 2070 (and so after the formation of the URNC in 2064), suggests that the URNC did not originate from a transformation of the Neo-Soviet Union. The situation in [[Codename: Bakery Girl]] suggests that the Neo-Soviet Union is a constituent of the URNC in 2092.</ref>

In 2064, the Neo-Soviet Council of Mutual Assistance in Europe (a part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) was working with the Pan-European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Reconstruction as part of the ongoing cooperation between the Neo-Soviet Union and the [[Pan-European AllianceUnion]].<ref name=Ch116>[[Girls' Frontline]] [[Story]] {{cite|gfl|11-6}}</ref> This stance of collaboration was officially supported by the Supreme Soviet and internally by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zelinski's Bureau for State Security and the Air Force, but there was some internal dissent, particularly from the [[KCCO]] Special Forces. [[General Carter]] saw such cooperation as continuing the traitorous fraternization with the enemies of the Soviet Union started with the end of World War Three. Using the knowledge of [[OGAS]] he had gained during a counter-terrorist operation at OKb-413 in 2032,<ref name=Singu31>[[Singularity]], {{cite|gfl|sg|Last Resort I}}</ref> Carter tried to reactivate the [[Pike]] systems, which would constitute a violation of the [[Relic Arms Limitation Treaty]] and possibly restart World War Three.<ref name=PL1>[[Polarized Light]], {{cite|gfl|pl|Lamp Starter}}</ref> While the internal security agencies worked to counter Carter's plan, they tried to do it in a way that would not expose the infighting to the West in order to protect the ongoing negotiations.<ref name=Singu31 />

Carter partnered with [[William]], a researcher with ties to [[90WISH]] and knowledge of the inner workings of OGAS. William believed that a certain Key was necessary to reactivate OGAS remotely,<ref>[[Singularity]], {{cite|gfl|sg|Minor Pieces Draw II}}</ref> which would be born from [[Sangvis Ferri]]'s rogue AI leader {{enemy name|Elisa|boss}} after connecting with {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}}.<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]] [[Story]] {{cite|gfl|10-6}}</ref> Carter crafted an opportunity to complete and capture Elisa by organizing a joint assault on Sangvis Ferri's main base with the PMC [[Griffin & Kryuger]], to which M4A1 was contracted by [[16LAB]].<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]] [[Story]] {{cite|gfl|10-3}}</ref> Carter's plan failed due to continued resistance from [[the Commander|a certain G&K Commander]] and the work of StateSec agent [[Angelia]], who used a [[Collapse bomb]] to prevent the capture of Elisa<ref>[[Singularity]], {{cite|gfl|sg|Last Resort V}}</ref> and provide Zelinski an excuse to start removing the dissenters from their positions.<ref>[[Singularity]], {{cite|gfl|sg|Endgame}}</ref>
