This game is the reason I ended up in the VFX industry. Game cinematics were unbelievable. I wanted to work for Westwood Studios, but it was gone, by the time I joined the artist ranks. Was offered to work for EA, but to me they were the company, that destroyed my beloved childhood icon. To accept, would be to betray my principles.

32:32 I love how Kane is briefly surprised when Nadia grabs his gun, only to calmly yet assertively take it back seconds later 😂

All things considered, the player character is probably on the verge of Hell as the campaign ends... 1. Their army is overextended because a campaign that should have taken a year was pushed to conclusion in just a few months, due to petty reasons like Stalin's Birthday and his obsession with the Chronosphere. 2. Because of Stalin's purges (and the deaths of every other named character) they have been handed a massive responsibility to handle almost entirely on their own, with no one to delegate to. 3. The entire western world (and probably everyone else) seriously hates your guts due to the dozens of war crimes on your resume; the only diplomacy you'll engage in from then on is via threat, and most of your army is tied up pacifying Europe. 4. Unless Kane goes public (he won't; he's too smart for that) everyone will assume you seized leadership by force. You have NO legitimacy beyond _"might makes right",_ so it will be a free for all as the "glorious Soviet Empire" tears itself apart over scraps of power. 5. Don't flatter yourself into thinking Kane gives a $#@% about you; you're just another Nadia to him. Heck, he sacrificed millions of lives just to exploit the resulting chaos. I imagine you'll be spending many sleepless nights waiting for the moment he decides you're just another loose end (a moment that _will_ come eventually). In short, the only thing worse than living in hell... is actually needing to _rule_ it.

@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook The world of C&C 1 is closer to the real mid-1990s, Russia being relatively weak and close to the West under Yeltsin which was why it was in GDI.

Afghanistan, Libya, Iran, Sudan, Iraq, North Korea and Syria being considered Nod affiliated was understandable. I think Generals was closer to the Soviet ending of Red Alert 1. In the Soviet ending, The Soviet ends up in a Cold War with US and Communist China might chose to side with the US like in the 1980s for fear of Soviet hegemony or ideological difference after Stalin's death, making the Sino-Soviet split happened earlier. The Soviet having to hold Europe after being exhausted by the war and being in Cold War with both the US and China collapsed with worse condition than real life. Europe and Russia was still recovering from the collapse in the time of Generals, which explained the relative lack of European and Russian military in Generals, as well as strong Chinese influence in Central Asia.

I think the reason Kane shot Nadia was to legitimize the player as the successor to Stalin. Stalin was poisoned and then shot by Nadia several times, Kane shooting Nadia removed any other witnesses, but the player and Kane. A story could be spun that the player, a war hero, avenged Stalin by killing his assassin, considering it was the word of a war hero and Stalin's advisor nobody thought to question it. The only relevant Western power left by that time would probably be only the US and ANZAC, many of "everyone else" would be too busy overthrowing European colonial rule.

The real Stalin literally was in that situation regarding Zhukov, he was paranoid Zhukov would use his popularity and standing in the military to overthrow him. Which he solved by assigning Zhukov to positions where he could do little harm, but at no point did Stalin ever seriously consider offing Zhukov.

It can be easily assumed that the Allies (and also the United States) may have been forced to create an iteration of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces as an emergency power on Asian interests during the Second World War; just imagine Type 97 Chi-Ha tanks nervously guarding the borders against far more advanced and bigger Soviet Heavy Tanks. Either way, in case the Allied ending became the war's outcome, Korea may have been given superpower rights for the Asian front as an aside to the still beaten Japan.

I love how machine in meltdown mission says "Have a nice day" and at the same time message on screen reads "Good day" (Dobri dieň), which in reality is used in entirely opposite situation, because in Slavic languages in general "Good day" is used as a greeting and definitely not as a polite parting phrase.😄

In my headcanon (which is contrary to many fans), this would have nicely led to Generals+Zero Hour... which then inevitably leads to Tiberian Dawn, not unlike how the Allied ending was supposed to lead to Red Alert 2, by which the timeline reset of its expansion pack Yuri's Revenge will then still lead to Tiberian Dawn.

For the fan theory of Allied ending leads to RA2 was a biggest misconception while Soviet ending leads to Tiberian Dawn which is unclear. If you look carefully at the RA Allied ending you notices that everything from Kremlin was already ruined and most USSR forces surrendered. Not a sign of any Soviets who wanted truce with the Allied Forces. While the Soviet ending, Soviet becomes victories defeating the Allied leaving Stalin and his comrades dropping like dead flies then Kane become the superior >:). However, why we don't see Nod and Kane in the Allied cutscenes? Well because they need to hide from the radar until when their time is right aka Tiberian Dawn. They can't be revealed or else their plot would be ruined or else Tiberian Dawn can't be born. It's impossible the Allied track them down because they never heard who are the Brotherhood of Nod are. Presumably BOTH RA endings leads to Tiberian Dawn. For the fan theory like Soviets ending leads to Tiberain Dawn, somebody already made a fun custom campaign aka From the Ashes. If you want to think that RA Allied victory leads Red Alert 2, that was caused by Yuri who was being sucked into a Chrono Vortex which caused by a GDI soldier who accidentally activated the Chronosphere during a cancelled C&C Incursion by Westwood. Sadly that game was cancelled. :(
