Civil War
The Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star (Chernarusskiy Dvizhenie Krasnaya Zvezda, ChDKZ), or Chedaki, is a political movement founded on the grounds of the Chernarussian civil war in 2009. The newly formed movement is about the ideology of Marxism-Leninism. This new revolutionary movement is the start or origin of the civil war in 2009, their goals were to turn Chernarus to a Communist/Socialist state as it did prior to being a Soviet Socialist Republic of the Soviet Union. They Succeeded in only taking most of South Zagoria and the Island of Utes which they shortly gave up on after the UN and United States Marine Corps helped take it back.
They also staged a bombing in Red Square in Moscow, Russia killing dozens and fooled the Russian Government into believing that the attack was done by National Party a Nationalist underground group which was more sided to the Chernarussian Government but still opposed both sides. The Russian Federation was not happy and willingly gave excessive amounts of weapons and vehicles only furthering the conflict, the political movement was forced into taking action upon it's Chernarussian brothers of the Chernarussian Defence Forces. The movement also came into contact with the United Nations and the Russian Armed Forces.
