* The {{backstory}} of the ''{{StarFight}}'' games has Russia undergo another revolution on September 11, 2012 (Note: this is an old game, so they had no way of knowing 9/11 would become an infamous date). A year later, the Soviet States of Russia are formed, starting a new ColdWar. This time, it's with the [[UnitedNationsIsASuperPower UN]], which has, essentially, become a single entity. After the discovery of FTLTravel, UN forms the [[SpaceNavy UNSF]] and uses it to annex the SSR. The remaining Soviet leadership flees Earth for Mezen Prime, an Earth-like world found and settled by SSR, reforming the SSR into the Soviet States of Mezen. Later, the UNSF and SSM fight several wars, resulting in an [[AIIsACrapshoot AI revolt]] which bombs Earth back into the Stone Age and turns Mezen Prime uninhabitable.

More or less TruthInTelevision, while diplomatic relations between United States and Russia did improved after the end of the ColdWar, antagonism still exists between the said two countries. It should be noted that things gotten a bit more sour when, VladimirPutin came into play.

* In ''ShatteredUnion'', Russia invades Alaska after Washington, D.C., is destroyed by WesternTerrorists and the rest of the country splits into six factions, all vying for control. The hard-line Russian President Vladekov claims that Alaska should always have been a part of Russia and, since it's separate from the rest of the US, it has no business being a part of that country. Later on, it is revealed that [[spoiler:the Russian president masterminded the D.C. attack]]. It is also revealed that the Russian people are against the invasion and the military build-up and will rise up if Vladekov is sufficiently weakened by the re-unified US.
* Subverted in FyodorBerezin's ''Incoming Cataclysm'', where it is initially assumed that Russia may have gone back to its Soviet days, when an American base is destroyed by forces bearing the hammer-and-sickle red star. However, it is eventually determined that the attackers are from a [[AlternateUniverse parallel world]] where the Soviet Union is the dominant power. The rest of the novel is a major naval battle between our world's American carrier group and the other world's Soviet carrier group (the latter didn't really exist in RealLife). The parallel Soviets assume they're fighting ''their'' Americans (a pretty common occurance for them), while most of the American servicemen (except for the top brass) assume they're fighting some new unknown threat that uses Soviet symbology. Both sides use technology unknown (or seen as archaic) to the other, such as satellites and stealth ships for the Americans and ground effect planes and battleships for the Soviets. Both sides lose their supercarriers, which causes the Soviet forces to return to their native dimension (the rift was formed by the presence of active nuclear reactors).

** Just to pound in ''how'' much of a stretch that would be, in RealLife the relations between both countries improved to the point that ''visa restrictions'' were removed between them. Compare and contrast that with the protracted visa war between Russia and European Union, not to mention US, in which all sides seemingly try to make their opponents' travelers more miserable.
