Mikhail Tukhachevsky

Often dubbed:  The Red Bonaparte , Tukachevsky's modernizations to the Red Army, development of Soviet deep operation, and sheer military brilliance have earned him not only fame and awe in the USSR but across the entire globe.

Joining the Bolsheviks during the civil war after his fifth escape from a German POV camp, he immediately proved his competence by leading very successful campaigns in Siberia and Crimea. Despite his disastrous invasion of Poland after the civil war, he would quickly regain favor by implementing a set of sweeping reforms to the Red Army, as well as devising the theory of deep operation. He would later put these reforms to good use during the Great Patriotic War, where he would become one of, if not the most important Soviet general of the Second World War.

Since the end of the Great Patriotic War, Tukachevsky has been continuously pushing for expanding the role of the Red Army in the USSR, as he hopes to support socialist insurrections abroad and crush Capitalist Imperialism once and for all. To achieve this, he has created the Vanguardist faction of the Politburo, a collection of generals who share his vision. They do not only support the expansion of the Red Army but also oppose certain policies like the NEP-wishing for a return to war communism. This lust for political power has since only worsened his relation with Zhukov, his greatest rival, who has been staunchly apolitical. He and Voroshilov, another anti-Tukhachevsky general, have formed an opposition to stop the Red Bonaparte from gaining complete influence over the Red Army, proving to be a major thorn in his side. It is still to be seen whether or not Tukhachevsky is ousted by his more experienced political peers, or if he realizes his dream of a fully Red Eurasia.
