Stalingrad is a disaster. Russia and his people defend their pile of rocks like a nation possessed and Prussia and his people keep attacking like madmen. They should have remembered the battle of ice and Napoleon instead of Finland

If the Russians don't know what to do with a field marshal a nation causes even more confusion. Prussia is quickly separated from everyone else, handcuffed and thrown into a corner. He is heavily guarded by soldiers who don't want to talk to him and almost seem offended by his flawless Russian

anon likes this too! It's nice to see a somewhat more mature prussia once in a while, he's really old and all I'm very intrigued by Russia's obsession with heroism here, and wouldn't mind a continuation of this exploring that theme

I like this a lot, especially if it's going where I think it's going. Also I totally love your only-slightly-insane Russia, a lot of people like to depict him like a total nutcase but I don't think it really suits him, da? He's more misguided, a lot like Prussia himself really.

Before long Russia makes contact with his enemy. To gloat over his victory Prussia assumes. Prussia still feels strangely calm after drinking all Russia's vodka. It's a good thing, otherwise he might have embarrassed himself in front of his brother

The temporary Moscow apartment is depressingly empty. Russia must not care very much. Except for the disturbing detail that he has a windowless room perfect for locking someone up in. When Prussia isn't locked up Russia clings to him so intensely that he has no opportunities to escape

Wow, that last line *chills* Your Russia is fascinating, with his hero obsession, and his clingy tendencies, specially because it's evident they only manifest toward other nations. I find Stalin's presence also fascinating, because the man was really interesting and brilliant in his own, mad and power-hungry way. The fact that he's charming Prussia makes me lol, though I do think that a guy like Stalin would've had admiration for some of Prussia's old bosses. It's not surprising Prussia should consider him cool, because Stalin was historically much more intelligent and fascinating than Hitler. I also find Russia's displeasure and disconnection with him very intriguing, as is his desire to please him. That religion divide is also very interesting. I felt a mix of amusement and pity when Prussia started talking military tactics and ways to improve manouvers with his captor
Prussia never wanted to destroy Russia, just own it. Which he tells Russia.

Thanks for long comments from AnonAuthor!
Stalin apparently even thought Hitler was pretty impressive once upon a time, like how he considered Night of the Long Knives well done. I don't think he was a fan in 1943 though...

Is it just me or is your writing getting better? I love the low, detached tone you set, and I love your Russia, childlike but not childish. And Stalin! (I would be a fangirl if he wasn't a complete monster).
btw, I am the anon above that thinks she knows where this is going... East Germany? Kaliningrad Oblast?

Yup, I'm totally going with that :) East Germany wasn't only Prussia being oppressed by Russia, it was also Soviet Russia's first defense against an invasion from the west...

Prussia is not impressed by the allied forces when they briefly visit Moscow. The axis have Germany who can keep meetings brief and effective while the allies have America talking over everyone else. Russia on the other hand is very happy to see them all, especially his new best friends America and England

Thanks for the comments anons, working at the next parts currently, but probably need to read a bit more about the Soviet offensive for inspiration.

“But you're not in charge, are you?”
Very good exchange, there
