- Heroic Resolve: Despite its situation post-unificationnote , Russia is determined to liberate Moscow from the German Reich and push them back to their original borders.
- Resurgent Empire: If Russia succeeds in achieving Total Victory in the Second West Russian War, they will be able to liberate most of Eastern Europe, either creating a series of allied states or reunifying them with Russia. Furthermore, if they were successful in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, the Collective Security Treaty Organization can find itself stretch from Eastern Europe into Central Asia and even Mongolia and Western China. This places them as the new dominant superpower in Eurasia, as the German Reich is doomed to collapse and Japan finds itself humiliated and weakened by its defeats.
