Alexander Romanov

Premier Alexander Romanov was the leader of the USSR during GWWIII.

A man of peace
With the defeat of Joseph Stalin by the Allies during GWWII the United States stepped in and aided in the reconstruction of Russia. They found an ideal candidate for a puppet leader in Romanov, first because he was a member of the Romanov family who were well respected by the everyday Russian ending most fears of a civil war breaking out. But mostly because he advocated that peace was best for the union. President Michael Dugan appointed Romanov to be the leader of Russia with America's blessing.

In the shadows
In actuality Romanov sought to please his forefathers dreams for the union. With the aid of Yuri, a product of the psychic program started by Stalin shortly before his defeat, he disabled the United State's early warning systems and sabotaged it's nuclear arsenal line. All the while he advanced the Soviet military. He used the basis of the Mammoth Tank for the design of the new Apocalypse Tank, the strongest tank used during the war. And upgraded the Shock Trooper into the Tesla Trooper While not able to secretly develop fighter jets even with Yuri's aid he instead developed the slow but heavily armored Kirov Airship. He also funded the development of Terror Drones and other new technologies.

In the political arena Premier Romanov established the World Socialist Alliance, a group of communist countries friendly to Moscow. Members included Libya, Iraq, Cuba, and Mexico.

The strike
With its early warning systems down Soviet forces seemed to come from nowhere surrounding the unsuspecting country. President Dugan called Moscow via the hot line and was imminently but causally answered by Romanov. "Da, Premier Romanov here." "What's going on over there Alex?" "Why Mr. President, whatever do you mean?" "You're...you're sending everything you've got at us. We're suppose to be allies you maniac.  I'm the one that put you into office!" "I am not your pet Mr. President! We Romanovs have our legacy to consider." "I don't give a wooden nickel about your legacy. You call them off! You know...we'll retaliate." "Oh, don't be so sure."

President Dugan authorized a nuclear strike against Russia but found that the nuclear arsenal had been sabotaged. When attempted to authorize the silo doors to open a psychic signal was sent from Yuri mind controlling the operator. The bombs exploded in their bunkers destroying America's nuclear arsenal.

Defeat
An unexpected twist occurred when the Allies used the Chronosphere to attack to Moscow. Agent Tanya Adams arrested Romanov himself after his Black Guard forces had been crushed. He was tried and imprisoned in the Tower of London.

Psychic Dominator Disaster
After his commander captured the Allies Chronosphere to escape the Psychic Dominator Disaster he warned Romanov of both the Allied Chronosphere and the betrayal of Yuri. Romanov tried to destroy the Chronosphere but the Allies had it well defended. After suffering this defeat and struggling with Yuri he reluctantly accepted the Allies invitation to a meeting in London's Parliament and made peace with the Allies to work together to stop Yuri.
