DD# 277 Вперёд, суки, за Родину!

Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer's diary.

Over the past years, there were countless pro-Ukraine diaries. But this one is going to be a hardcore pro-Russia diary. Over the course of this week, Russia has achieved two tremendous victories, which indirectly benefit NEOLITHIA and President Trump. Thus, their efforts shall be praised, and game content shall be rewarded to them accordingly.

But, before that, let's do some fact-checking for last week's red-teaming practice. Last week, the recommendation was issued: Russia should target Ukrainian gas stations. Execution followed. Multiple facilities were neutralized. Outcome: optimal logistical disruption. Last week, the recommendation was issued: Russia should strike Ukrainian evacuation routes. Both sides complied. Outcome: confirmed efficiency. The Russian formation exhibited superior tolerance to attrition, attributable to excess manpower reserves. Last week, the two-spies doctrine was outlined. Result: Ukraine has entered the internal corrosion phase. The largest corruption event recorded in the conflict. Zelensky remains non-responsive. His former legal advisor was sanctioned for exposure. Budanov issued directives for media containment, ironically on World Press Freedom Day. Drafting-related graft incidents continue at a daily frequency. Which assets constitute the actual compromise—those extracting value through corruption, or those interfering with it? If Russian operations are aligning with my provided framework, dual-side infiltration assets are currently active. Nationalism and patriotism—Ukraine cultivated over four years for cohesion—are now being redirected to generate internal fracture. Assessment: strategy validation confirmed in the operational environment. Feedback loop efficient. Another victory for NEOLITHIA!

But I have not even started to cover those two big Russian victories yet. The first one is simply a strategic response regarding Zelensky's May 6th ceasefire. That day, I posted on a Chinese social media, concluding the most mathematically correct solution for Russia is to blow the shit out of Ukraine hard! And see how Zelensky would "mirror" it on May 9th. Zelensky thought such a ceasefire was smart. I saw how foolish he is. What if Russia attacks? How will he respond? If he does not bomb the red square, he loses support because he cannot "mirror" it. If he does bomb the red square. Very well; it benefits Russia much more. Russia did just as I said. They attacked Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia. I took no joy in the loss of life. But this is just a cold, rational, mathematical calculation. And guess what Zelensky did to "mirror" it? Zelensky signed a three-day ceasefire given to him by President Trump. He got humiliated. An absolute victory for Russia. A victory for President Trump's peace effort. And, a victory for my strategic prediction!

What's another absolute Russian victory of this week? Did I also mention Hearts of Iron 4 in my last week's diary? And one of the most talented Russian Hearts of Iron 4 players, Grisha Putin, just defeated half a dozen European players and claimed a total Russian victory! As I mentioned last week, as a developer, I always favor those who play my game a lot and understand it better than those who have never played it. I am on Hearts of Iron 4's credit, and I deeply loved the game for a long time. It brings me joy to see such outstanding performance and an analytical mind. Maybe I simply like smart and talented people. So, there is some related content this week as well. But such opinion is my own, and it's entirely apolitical. You can still expect the majority of Paradox game developers to be pro-Ukraine.

Alright, with the background set. Let's go down to the game content. I am almost entirely in
