Siberian Free Territory
The news of Taboritsky's death prompts the Day of Freedom, an uprising that leaves all of Holy Russia's officials found and executed publicly. One revolutionary tells Taratuta of how a factory commissar, who was now seen hanging from his neck at the town square, ruled with such brutality that it led to him losing an eye under his employment. Much of the populace has been disillusioned with Taratuta's calls to join the first Siberian Soviet conference, pessimistically believing that they'll be oppressed again by a government and merely want to live peacefully in isolation. Despite kicking the Holy Russian Empire's forces out of their land, the Siberian Free Territory still carries out public executions against perceived enemies, including both genuine collaborators to Tabortisky's empire and even innocent citizens who were falsely accused. Taratuta is reluctant over mob justice, worrying about possible innocents being harmed. The other revolutionaries are zealous in ensuring her that their vengeful executions are necessary. She begrudgingly accepts. Although they lack the materials to wage a modern war, many of the peasants remain loyal to Taratuta's cause, determined to defend their communes to the last man. Although Pyotr Siuda is long dead, the peasants of Kansk were thankfully beneath Taboritsky's notice. Returning from their exile hiding amongst the peasants, the former ideologues and committee leaders of the Siberian Free Territory have endured and returned to their anarchist traditions, under the advisory leadership of Yevgeniya Taratuta.
