The country is gradually developing the capacity of its state institutions and civil society to address the political and social consequences of Russian aggression. • Russia’s three main levers of influence in Ukraine include the ongoing armed conflict, corruption, and the poor quality of the political sphere. The Kremlin seeks to exploit these vulnerabilities to promote polarization and encourage a clash between Ukraine’s citizens and its governing elite by taking military action, manipulating the corruption narrative, supporting pro-Russia parties, and fuelling religious tensions through the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). • The ramifications of the military operation in Donbas reverberate strongly across the country and domestic politics. The most prominent spillover effects include the circulation of firearms and the weakened capacity of authorities to reintegrate internally displaced people (IDPs) and war veterans. • With no clear way to end the armed conflict, there is a growing risk of societal polarization. This could have negative consequences for any prospective peace agreement.

  • Kharkov ’43 Was the Final Successful Operation for the Axis Forces in Russia
    DESIGNER NOTES & HISTORY DOCUMENT THE CAMPAIGN Kharkov ’43 was the final successful operation for the Axis forces in Russia. It marked the end of the Stalingrad tragedy and the prelude to Kursk. It was a sweeping campaign, with large distances and low unit densities making it more akin to a desert campaign than the Eastern front. This operation was actually the Third battle of Kharkov following on the German capture of the city in September 1941 and the Soviet attempt to recapture the city in May 1942 (as simulated in Kharkov ’42). There was a Fourth battle of Kharkov in August 1943 where the Soviets liberated the city for a final time in the Polkovodets Rumyantsev offensive post Kursk. When looking at this operation it became apparent that there were three distinct phases in the battle. • The Soviet Offensive – The Star & Gallop operations, Feb 2nd to Feb 19th. • Manstein’s Backhand blow against South Western Front, Feb 20th to Mar 5th • The German recapture of Kharkov and the shattering of Voronezh Front, Mar 6th to Mar 18th It was decided to create a base campaign for each of these periods, rather than one 450 turn game. The reasoning behind this decision was the extremely fluid situation and the fact that building victory conditions for each side in a ‘mega campaign’ where the objectives changed over time was next to impossible. Further complicating this was that some units were Page 1 withdrawn and refurbished (Gross Deutschland, for example) which would be very difficult to handle in terms of game play. Once this decision was made it ensured that the individual campaigns would be playable due to their moderate length (57 – 180 turns), and allow all scenarios to be tested sufficiently.
