The Red Marshals: location of every Marshal of the Soviet Union ever in TNO (Part 1)
buckle up, there are a lot of marshals
1) Klim Voroshilov
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1935-1969), Defense Commissar of USSR (1925-1940), Chairman of the USSR Presidium (1953-1960), participated in Great Purge and was pretty bad at invading Finland
TNO: Used to be WRRF leader before being replaced by Yegorov. In-lore, he failed to defend Stalingrad and presumably died afterwards. TNO didn't prolong his life
2) Semyon Budyonny
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1935-1973), loved cavalry a bit too much, participated in Great Purge and failed to defend Ukraine
TNO: Moved to Irkutsk, "devil of Bratsk", was captured and shot by the SBA after a failed cavalry charge
3) Mikhail Tukhachevsky
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1935-1937), "Red Napoleon", helped formulate Deep Battle, executed in Great Purge
TNO: Founder of WRRF, "Red Napoleon", currently in Plesetsk and possible Russian unifier
4) Alexander Yegorov
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1937-1939), executed in Great Purge
TNO: Founder of WRRF, current leader of WRRF, will die after selecting a successor
5) Vasily Blyukher
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1935-1938), advisor to China, executed in Great Purge, kinda hot ngl
TNO: He pops up again in Pony Bukharin's nation as his Security Minister
6) Semyon Timoshenko
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1940-1970), Defense Commissar of USSR (1940-1941), won Winter War, initially very popular in the initial stages of Barbarossa before failures started piling up and newer commanders rose the ranks
TNO: Head of Government of the WRRF
7) Boris Shaposhnikov
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1940-1945), military theorist
TNO: He died in 1945 OTL and was never in good health to begin with, so it's safe to say his life won't be prolonged here
8) Grigory Kulik
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1940-1942), failed to defend Leningrad, had literally the worst takes on military equipment since Budyonny, demoted 1942, purged by Stalin in 1950
TNO: Not in-game. Although he could possibly still be alive (he'd be 71 by then) he may well already have gotten shot for being a shitty general. Probably could have a place in Tyumen, if ever
9) Georgy Zhukov
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1943-1974), Defense Minister of USSR (1955-1957), "Marshal of Victory", won battles from Khalkhin Gol to Kursk, extremely popular and successful, helped purge Beria
TNO: Founder of WRRF, currently in Ukhta and possible Russian unifier
10) Alexander Vasilevsky
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1943-1977), War Minister of USSR (1950-1953), held commands in Ukraine, Belarus, and Manchuria
TNO: Joined Irkutsk, left stranded in Tuva with its collapse, currently leads the PRC. His content got removed and it's unlikely to be reinstated anytime soon
11) Joseph Stalin
OTL: General Secretary of CPSU (1924-1952), Marshal of USSR (1943-1953), Generalissimo of USSR (1945-1953), needs no introduction
TNO: Now more relevant in NewLore™, competitor to Bukharin and would coup him during Barbarossa, eventually leading to the collapse of the USSR. Dead by TNO start, but Tyumen still follows his ideals
12) Ivan Konev
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1944-1973), Supreme Commander of Warsaw Pact (1955-1960), held commands in the Ukrainian Front, fought from Moscow to Berlin, suppressed Hungarian uprising, ruthless and respected by Stalin
TNO: Field Marshal in Tyumen, can join Khrushchev in a coup against Kaganovich
13) Leonid Govorov
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1944-1955), fought in the northern front around Leningrad, Karelia, and the Baltics
TNO: He died in 1955 from heart disease, so his life probably won't be prolonged in TNO
14) Konstantin Rokossovsky
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1944-1968), Marshal of Poland (1949-1968) Defense Minister of Poland (1949-1956), tortured in Great Purge, rehabilitated, defended Moscow, planned and executed Bagration, worked to establish Soviet Poland after the war but was forced out after Poznan riots
TNO: Joined with Kaganovich but later rebelled, currently leader and field marshal of Sverdlovsk, will die after regional unification
15) Rodion Malinovsky
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1944-1967), Defense Minister of USSR (1957-1967), fought at Stalingrad, entered the Balkans, crushed Romania and Manchukuo, participated in Cuban Missile Crisis
TNO: Field Marshal in Irkutsk
16) Fyodor Tolbukhin
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1944-1949), fought on the Southern front from Stalingrad to Vienna, well-respected
TNO: He died of diabetes in 1949, so unless he went on a crash diet after the Soviet defeat his life probably didn't get prolonged in TNO
17) Kiril Meretskov
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1944-1968), arrested and tortured after Barbarossa, released, fought in the Northern front and Manchuria
TNO: Not in TNO. Of the marshals so far, this is probably the first oversight by the devs. Probably could have a place in any of the Soviet successor states
18) Laventriy Beria
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1945-1953), Commissar of NKVD (1938-1946), involved in various purges and massacres, notorious sexual predator, head of Soviet nuclear program, executed after Khrushchev's coup in 1953
TNO: Not in TNO. Probably for the better. OldLore™ had him heroically martyred leading a partisan group in Georgia, which predictably got canned after release. Could potentially still be alive (he'd be 63 by TNO start), but devs probably have no interest in prolonging his life
19) Vasily Sokolovsky
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1946-1968), Zhukov's chief of staff, fought from Moscow to Berlin
TNO: Not in TNO. Most probably an oversight by the devs. Could have a place in Ukhta with Zhukov's crew
20) Nikolai Bulganin
OTL: Marshal of USSR (1947-1958), Defense Minister of USSR (1953-1955), Premier of USSR (1955-1958), Stalinist political officer, no military experience, resigned by Khrushchev in 1958
TNO: Not in TNO. May or may not be an oversight. He'll most likely still be alive (died in 1975) but I can only see him finding a place in Tyumen
Part II will come soon featuring the other half of the Soviet marshals, including everyone's favorite Black League Glavkoverkh!!! Will probably be released before the next TNO update don't worry
