谢尔盖·塔博里茨基（魔怔人）
塔博里茨基 军政府独裁
塔博里茨基 勃艮第体制 神圣摄政王
神圣俄罗斯帝国
意识形态：军政府独裁（初始）勃艮第体制（统一后）
谢尔盖·弗拉基米罗维奇·塔博里茨基（Sergey Vladimirovich Taboritsky）的异于常人的性格使得他处于科米政坛的边缘地带。塔博里茨基从生下来到死都是一个反动派（这里的反动派主要说的是复辟君主制）。他的母亲是一位自愿的同纳粹合作的犹太裔君主专制主义者，还当过反动派的政治杀手。她现在在科米，成为了俄罗斯帝国复兴会（Society for the Restoration of the Russian Empire）的二把手。
塔博里茨基最初是因为跟随沙皇弗拉基米尔进行征战的时候来到了俄罗斯帝国（沙皇控制的区域），但来到这里不久后，他有了一个疯狂的想法：真正的俄罗斯皇帝查雷维奇·阿列克谢在俄国革命中幸存了下来，弗拉基米尔不过是个冒牌货。塔波里特斯基就被认为一个怪人而已，他能做的也就是打打嘴炮，发表一下的睿智的言论。他很快被逐出了维雅特卡，但在科米找到了一席之地。
塔博里茨基和他的党羽坚信阿列克谢依旧活着，他们要在迎回沙皇之前在俄罗斯建立一个摄政区。塔博里茨基则是为皇帝净化俄罗斯的污秽并为皇帝把俄罗斯变成一个神圣的帝国的摄政王。摄政这个点子来自约西亚——高加索总督。（神圣的国家社会主义的摄政。壮丽的勃艮第体系的摄政。）
极端净化派：塔博里茨基要净化俄罗斯，抹去俄罗斯的少数族群。对他们的村庄进行化学攻击成了种族清洗的主要手段
归于寂静：塔博里茨基死后，帝国慢慢地解体只到最后的彻底无政府，完全成了无主之地。再也没有来自俄罗斯的广播了（除了一个不断重复的咒语），俄罗斯基本上变成了一个单纯的地理概念，类似于核弹灭世的那种死寂。
万物沉寂。
摄政低沉。
沙皇永存。
帝国永存。
事业未就。
严酷的刑法：
塔博里茨基对他神圣土地上的小齿轮要求可是很高的。工作的时候胆敢把工具弄掉了，直接就可以接受净化了。
在更广的判罪层面上，塔博里茨基决定，每一个进入法庭的人都有罪，必须以上帝的名义处以死刑，并将每一个法庭判决改为死刑。数千人在几周内被净化，挖出了万人大坑来埋葬他们。
时钟转动，午夜将至：在塔博里茨基死后，他摄政净化的所有领地立马土崩瓦解。但这一次，它造成了一种纯粹的无政府状态，在这种状态下，钟表的每一个齿轮都停止了转动，俄罗斯统一就永远都是泡影了。
地理概念而已：神圣俄罗斯帝国在塔博里茨基死后灾难性地崩溃了，先是整个国家变成了非军事区，然后国家的国旗、内阁甚至地图上“神圣俄罗斯帝国”这几个大字都消失了。在俄罗斯留下了一个黑色的真空，如同被核弹轰击了一样。
苍天已死，黄天当立：只要他继续履行他寻找阿列克谢的神圣使命的时候。傻子都会明白他只不过是一个尼禄、可怕的伊万、伊丽莎白·巴索里和德国元首这个暴君的混合体，并且披着神圣外衣，做着反人类的事情。
一下证据可以佐证。就算他成功，他将在俄罗斯带来末日。只不过他把基督画在他的旗帜上，同时引用经文说明俄罗斯是神圣的。而实际上他的国家更多的是建立在对他和阿列克谢的崇拜基础上，阿列克谢是一个虚假的弥赛亚，一个俄罗斯的新耶稣。他的邪教将带来毁灭。。
教条主义者：塔博里茨基的日记条目以引用圣经开始。
暴力倾向：对他的评价，即使多么保守的评价都会认为他就是个疯子，是俄罗斯最暴力、最暴虐的。为了他的使命去屠杀持不同政见者、少数民族、精神病患者和残障人士，反抗他在战争中使用化学武器的命令和反对帝国敌人等无辜的大众。就他个人而言，他脑子也是有问题的。经常性的发怒，而且在发怒的时候把人家打个半死或者直接手动净化了。
愿者上钩：
塔博里茨基最初是一个专制主义者，从意识形态角度来看，他似乎是最温和的激情派成员。然而，当他真的巩固了自己的权力后，情况马上就颠倒过来了，因为塔博里茨基采用了勃艮第制度，立即成了最激进的政客。
他们的国策全都是正话反说，比如净化学术界，这被描述为“改善并修正基础知识”，但实际上就是一次大清洗。
自刎乌江：如果科米的统治者在他政变失败后试图追捕并暗杀他，塔博里茨基就会在一个小教堂里自焚。
笨蛋还是疯子：塔博里茨基最初看起来像是一个古怪的君主主义者（整天乱说胡话），在激情党中是一个小角色。然而，如果他成功地夺取了科米政权，那么塔博里茨基就可以好好施展拳脚了。
书的结尾：塔博里茨基的开场白以“上帝拯救俄罗斯”结尾，他向上帝祈祷，要让阿列克谢安全。在塔博里茨基统一俄罗斯之后，随之而来的事件（这是神圣的俄罗斯帝国的最后一次事件，在塔博里茨基去世和他噩梦般的帝国崩溃之前），以“上帝拯救俄罗斯——其他任何人都不能”结尾。
双标偏执狂：塔博里茨基的母亲是一名犹太裁缝，他以此为人生污点，并且一直把这个秘密藏在心里。他后来的一篇日记中的一篇文章交代了逼疯他的一个原因。
我不是犹太人，我不是该隐。我只是按你的要求做的。
卡利古拉：就魔怔方面而言，塔博里茨基完全可以比得过约西亚和希姆莱成为TNO的勃艮第魔怔人之首。从一开始，塔博里茨基就表现出了他对使命的狂热奉献，如净化俄罗斯和迎回阿列克谢，以及其他魔怔的政策。他的勃艮第思想是：把一个纯净的俄罗斯交给阿列克谢管理，以及妄想只有纯粹的国家社会主义才能带来这种纯洁。随着塔博里茨基的神智继续恶化，他的精神混乱升级为精神分裂症，因为他开始产生并相信自己的幻觉，他的日记也更加语无伦次的胡言乱语。
德国人的扳手：在他夺得科米领导权之前，塔博里茨基在帝国在俄罗斯的一个眼线。
奢靡之风：为了展示神圣的俄罗斯帝国的辉煌，塔博里茨基创造了他所谓的“纯净帝国建筑”，它包括以韭菜阶级（他们的生活消费品被挤压，被禁止财产累积）和少数族裔{非人类}（他们所有的财产都被没收）为代价而创造的富丽堂皇的建筑。塔博里茨基自己的豪宅使用了大量的黄金、大理石和昂贵的家具来装饰。
镇压民众：在统一了俄罗斯西部之后，塔博里茨基政权转向勃艮第制度，清除了任何非纯种俄罗斯血统的人，尤其是犹太人。对于其他没有立即被净化的领土，塔博里茨基实施了一种疯狂的压迫性统治，净化了俄罗斯人的思想和行为。奴隶般的工作条件，残酷的秘密警察实施严厉的政治压迫，强迫人民贫穷，以充实虔诚的统治阶层，荒谬的宗教理论。他的压迫的结果是创造了-100%人口增长的奇迹。
个人崇拜：除了帝国祭祀阿列克谢，塔博里茨基还创造了关于自己的仪式。他称自己为阿列克谢的神圣摄政王。
黑马胜利：塔博里茨基是科米潜在领导人班子中最边缘化的一员，即使在激情党（激情党本身比共产党人和民主党人更弱）内部也占有没什么影响力。
致命毒气：塔博里茨基得到了使用化学武器的真传。当他政变时，他用催泪瓦斯袭击立法议会。当他巩固自己的统治时，他可以毒死苏斯洛夫。在他宣布执政后，他下令在战斗中自由使用化学武器。他还利用化学爆破来进行灭绝行动，以类似德国SS使用的方式屠杀村庄。他甚至在超区域阶段制造了更致命、更具腐蚀性的化学武器。
死不瞑目：当时钟到达零点（可以延迟，但不能避免），塔博里茨基的SAN清零后，他最终将死于绝望，因为他意识到，阿列克谢已经死了，再也不会回来了。
群龙无首：当塔博里茨基的SAN清零时，直接自我净化。但他的死亡由他的官方广播和电视掩盖了。他的领袖特质随后转变为“沉默的摄政王”，这有效地瘫痪了神圣的俄罗斯帝国，开始融化他的政治基础，完全没有了更多的可用人力，并直接减少了人口。这最终导致俄罗斯崩溃到了核弹都难以达到的地步。
上帝的钟表：在俄罗斯统一后，会出现一个新的决策时间，名为“时钟工厂”，显示从第一个小时到午夜缓慢前进的时间，并警告时间永远不能到达午夜。它代表了塔博里茨基的理智，在整个游戏中出现的各种事件都会加速或减慢时钟，而随着时钟的进展而解锁的事件显示出塔博里茨基趋近疯狂。当时间到了午夜，意味着塔博里茨基自我净化了，整个帝国面临毁灭；可招募的人口被设置为0%，单位组织被削减一半，勃艮第系统的支持快速降低，很可能代表着噩梦帝国的崩溃。
最坏的选择：在所有可能统一俄罗斯的军阀中，开发团队认为塔博里茨基的结局对俄罗斯本身来说绝对是最糟糕的（尽管他只霍霍了俄罗斯，希波雷亚和全俄罗斯黑色联盟，这两个组织都有可能引发全球热核战争，结束世界。当之无愧的霍霍了全世界）作为“毁灭状态”。塔博里茨基对俄罗斯的疯狂统治导致该国灾难性地崩溃，以至于没有继承国；俄罗斯只是变成了一个绝对地理概念，神圣的俄罗斯帝国所造成的意识形态、政府结构和人口的降低和国民精神的疯狂化完全扼杀了俄罗斯的任何民族文化
引用塔博里茨基国家统一的超事件：“唯有天佑俄罗斯。”
魔怔的代价：塔博里茨基的种族灭绝和净化将给他的帝国带来致命的惩罚。
披着羊皮的狼：在科米的政变-反政变阶段，塔博里茨基的意识形态是专制主义，他穿着一件代表他的君主制思想的帝王制服。在他的思想体系转变为勃艮第体系后，他用一件看起来很邪恶的高领子德国风军装束腰外套取代了这套帝王制服。
狗咬狗：他和留里克二世两人都是一个专制统治者，他们都患有明显的精神错乱。他们的许多行动和政策都源于他们的魔怔，他们拥有俄罗斯所有军阀中最独特也是最激进的。两位领导人都声称自己要建立君主国，并为建立比前苏联更美好的国家：留里克以基辅罗斯为榜样，塔博里茨基则以沙皇俄国为榜样。不同的是，留里克二世虽然精神错乱，但仍然是一个务实和明智的领导人，而塔博里茨基则是一个可怕的统治者，正是因为他真的脑子有问题。留里克二世一开始是一个暴君，但他的儿子可以把俄罗斯变成一个民主国家；塔博里茨基一开始是屑，最后按照勃艮第制度来塑造他的政府。留里克二世把一个统一的、强大的俄罗斯留给他的继任者，而塔博里茨基没有继承他的帝国的继承人，在他死后，帝国崩溃，带走了俄罗斯的希望。最后，留里克二世统一俄罗斯是一个更好的结局，而塔博里茨基统一俄罗斯是最糟糕的结局。
邪恶摄政王：如果塔博里茨基重新统一了俄罗斯西部，他称自己为阿列克谢·罗曼诺夫（早已去世）的摄政王，统治这个国家直到阿列克谢“回来”。他在掌权后当然不辜负“魔怔人”的角色，把俄罗斯变成一个模仿勃艮第制度的神权极权独裁政权。与传统的邪恶摄政者的例子不同，塔博里茨基并不是在反对阿列克谢；相反，他所有的疯狂都是试图创造一个纯粹的俄罗斯让阿列克谢统治。
必将灭亡：塔博里茨基没有办法实现他为沙皇阿列克谢统治建立一个“纯粹的”神圣的俄罗斯帝国的目标。撇开他深爱的沙皇去世这一因素（但塔博里茨基不这么想），他残暴的统治将俄罗斯变成人间地狱，在他死后很快崩溃，再也不会成为一个统一的、强大的国家。
最后的解决方案：塔博里茨基在神圣的俄罗斯帝国里消灭所有非纯种的俄罗斯人，认为非纯种的俄罗斯人不配为人。
小惊喜：远东的亚历山大还是科米的塔博里茨基。两人本来都是靠忽悠为生。在他们被揭露之后，他们两人开始互相泼脏水。他们都喜欢用基督教作为他们理论的基础，并从专制开始，但他们真正的信仰并不是。塔博里茨基是勃艮第体系的狂热追随者，他试图让一个死去已久的孩子再次成为沙皇，同时利用基督教和自己的妄想为屠杀俄罗斯人辩护。另一方面，亚历山是一个抛砖引玉的货色，他作为救世主的形象被树立，试图通过试行自己的思想，在一个将基督教仁爱与互惠主义和边缘社会的无政府经济相结合的体系中，实现一个平等的俄罗斯。人人被容忍，最后共同走向宽恕之路，而塔博里茨基认为，每一个与他对立的人都应该受到神的惩罚。还有一个独特的事件，如果亚历山大的最后一个对手俄罗斯是塔博里茨基，他就可以对他反基督的勃艮第暴行进行正面对抗了。
预示：如果他能在扭曲的体制下重新统一俄罗斯，他将带来一个神圣的俄罗斯帝国，而他在超级事件中的统一引用也提到了神圣罗马帝国。猜猜他死后在1972-1982年期间会发生什么。
屑人更屑：他在一个军阀统治时期崛起，这个国家已经遭受了很多苦难。然后统一西俄后开始了一场种族灭绝的“净化”运动，当重新统一俄罗斯后他成为摄政王，准备让一位死去已久的王子接手。他的恐怖统治下的俄罗斯最终将永远无法崛起。
恶以小而生：一个没有什么实际影响的过客，塔博里茨基是科米最不可能最终登上权力顶峰的领导者之一。然而，如果他成功地掌握了权力，他将把俄罗斯变成一个扭曲的、神权统治的勃艮第国家，其中蕴含着种种恐怖。
宗教大审判：塔博里茨基是一个死板教条的基督教修正主义者。在他看来，犹太人、穆斯林和无神论者都是邪恶的腐蚀者，但他也认为任何敢于公开反对他的基督徒都是异端。
没有纯种只有更纯：塔博里茨基，作为一个半犹太人血统的的俄罗斯人。在他神圣的俄罗斯帝国内发起了一场大规模的自我净化运动，对抗堕落的俄罗斯人（用他勃艮第体制的标准来判断），他还屠杀了俄罗斯犹太人，作为他对非纯种俄罗斯人的种族灭绝运动的一部分。

Sergey Taboritsky (UNMARKED SPOILERS)
Party: Obshchestvo Vozdrozhdeniya Rossiyskoiy Imperii
Ideology: Despotism, Burgundian System (post-regional unification)
The aberrant character of Sergey Vladimirovich Taboritsky rests on the far fringes of Komi's politics. A committed reactionary for all of his life, Taboritsky is an anti-Semite born to a Jewish mother, a Russian monarchist and a willing Nazi collaborator, a one-time reactionary political assassin, and presently in Komi, the head of the Society for the Restoration of the Russian Empire (OVRI), a minor group associated with the Passionariyy.
Taboritsky orignally entered Russia alongside Tsar Vladimir's expedition, but he quickly became fixated a single belief: Tsarevich Alexey, the true Emperor of Russia, had survived the Russian Revolution, and Vladimir was nothing more than an imposter. Considered eccentric at best and delusional at worst, Taboritsky was quickly exiled from Vyatka, but found a new foothold in Komi.
Now, Taboritsky and his clique of fanatics champion his beliefs of Alexey's survival, and seek the creation of a Regency that would rule in Alexey's absence. A Regency that would cleanse Russia of its filth and deliver a Holy Empire to the True Emperor. A Regency inspired by none other than the purified realms of Caucasus under German prince Josias. A Regency of the blessed National Socialism. A Regency of the magnificent Burgundian System.
· Absolute Xenophobe: Taboritsky tries to kill every single racial minority in Russia to purify his Empire, and uses chemical terror bombings on villages of Russian minorities as his main method of extermination.
· After the End: After Taboritsky's death, the Empire slowly disintegrates into total anarchy without any semblance of functional government anywhere. No more radio broadcasts come from Russia anymore (aside from one constantly repeating mantra), and Russia essentially becomes a nameless wasteland, similar to what happens to the entire world if nuclear war breaks out.
Remain calm. The Regent endures. Alexei lives. The Holy Russian Empire shall endure. There is much to be done.
· All Crimes Are Equal:
o Taboritsky's standards are set so high, even accidentally dropping your tools when working is considered a crime that deserves a forced disappearance.
o At the superregional level, Taboritsky decides that everyone who enters the courts is guilty of sin and must be punished by death in God's name, and changes every court sentence to a death sentence. Thousands die in a matter of weeks and multiple mass graves spring up to bury the corpses of sentenced inmates.
· All for Nothing: After Taboritsky's death, any territory he managed to conquer and subsequently terrorize as Regent will once again collapse, but this time it creates a total anarchy in which there is no semblance of an actual functioning government anywhere in the former empire, forever destroying any hopes of a united Russia.
· Anarchy Is Chaos: The Holy Russian Empire collapses so catastrophically after Taboritsky's death that it is visually represented by the entire country turning into demilitarized zones, while the country's flag, ministers, and even name disappears, leaving behind a gigantic black void in Russia similar to the state of the world post-nuclear war.
· The Antichrist: If he exists at the same time as Alexander Men's Divine Mandate, Men will identify him as a more horrific tyrant than Nero, Ivan the Terrible, Elizabeth Báthory, and the Fuhrer of Germany combined, eventually declaring him to be the antichrist after a prayer session, steeling himself for war against what he believes is the worst embodiment of evil that's walked the Earth so far. His own rule has several traits associated with the antichrist as well, namely by bringing about an apocalyptic end to Russia should he succeed, with him utilizing Christ on his flag while quoting scripture to convince Russia of his holiness, when in reality his state is more in practice based on worship towards him and Alexei, false messiahs whose cults will bring about ruin.
· As the Good Book Says...: Taboritsky's journal entries begin with quotes from The Bible.
· Ax-Crazy: Taboritsky is not mentally well, to say the least, and is the most violent and oppressive Russian unifier, slaughtering dissidents, racial minorities, the mentally ill and disabled, and anyone else who earns his ire with impunity in addition to outright mandating the use of chemical weapons in warfare and against enemies of the state. On a personal level, he is also extremely prone to violent outbursts, and during his more unstable moments he might well strangle or beat someone to death with his own hands.
· Bait-and-Switch:
o Taboritsky, being initially a despotist, seems like the most moderate member of the Passionaryy at the start in terms of ideological classifications. Should he actually cement his power however, the situation is immediately flipped upside-down as Taboritsky adopts the Burgundian System, instantly becoming the most radical politician in Ust-Sysolsk by a wide margin.
o Most of his focuses do exactly the opposite of what they proclaim, such as Cleansing the Academia, which is described as "improving the academic base modifier", but actually does the opposite.
· better to Die than Be Killed: Taboritsky self-immolates in a little chapel in his "opposition killed" event if Komi's rulers try to hunt down and assassinate him after the coup-countercoup stage.
· Beware the Silly Ones: Taboritsky initially seems like an eccentric monarchist and a minor player among the Passionaryy. However, if he manages to take over Ust-Sysolsk, then it quickly becomes obvious how horrifically insane Taboritsky really is.
· Book-Ends: Taboritsky's introductory event ends with "God save Russia.", as he prays to God to keep Tsarevich Alexei safe. After Taboritsky unifies Russia, the ensuing world event (which is one of the Holy Russian Empire's final ones, before Taboritsky dies and his nightmarish empire collapses), ends with "God save Russia - for no-one else can."
· Boomerang Bigot: Taboritsky's mother was a Jewish tailor, and he is painfully aware of this fact, even though he obviously doesn't disclose it publicly. One of his later journal entries encaptures the toll it took on his maddened mind.
I AM NOT A JEW I AM NOT CAIN I DID ONLY WHAT YOU ASKED OF ME
· The Caligula: Taboritsky is one of, if not the most deranged and delusional rulers in TNO, beating out other Burgundian System adherents like Josias zu Waldeck-Pyrmont and Heinrich Himmler in terms of sheer unhinged madness and detachment from realitynote . From the very beginning, Taboritsky displays his fanatical dedication to unreal beliefs like divine purity and Alexei's survival, as well as extreme erraticism and ruthlessnesss. His adoption of the Burgundian System is a result of fanatical desires to deliver a purified Russia to Alexei, and the delusional belief that only fundamentalist National Socialism can bring out this purity. As Taboritsky's sanity continues to worsen, his mental illness escalates into straight-up schizophrenia, as he begins to have and believe in his hallucinations and his writings degenerate into incoherent ramblings.
· Les Collaborateurs: Before he became what he is now in Komi, Taboritsky was an active Russian collaborator in Nazi Germany.
· Conspicuous Consumption: To show the splendor of the Holy Russian Empire, Taboritsky creates what he calls "purified imperial architecture", which consists of grand architectural displays of opulence created at the expense of the lower class (who are squeezed of their produces and prohibited from becoming rich) and the subhumans (who have all of their possessions confiscated). Taboritsky's own mansion is decorated with huge amounts of gold, marble, and expensive furniture.
· Crushing the Populace: After unifying Western Russia, Taboritsky's regime adopts a version of the Burgundian System, purging anyone who isn't pure Russian, with a special focus on annihilating the Jewish population. For the rest of society that is not immediately exterminated, Taboritsky implements an insanely oppressive rule to purify the Russians in their thinking and behavior, with slave-like work conditions, draconian political oppression enforced by a cruel secret police, enforced poverty on the commoners in order to enrich the Godly elite, and absolute religious insanity. His oppression is so bad, he can get a -100% population growth malus from his constant massacres.
· Cult of Personality: Aside from the Imperial Cult dedicated to Alexei, Taboritsky also creates a cult of personality around himself, the blessed regent of Alexei.
· Dark Horse Victory: Taboritsky is the most fringe of Ust-Sysolsk's potential leaders, occupying a minority influence even within the Passionariyy (which is itself weaker than the Communists and the Democrats).
· Deadly Gas: Taboritsky is by far the most aggressive user of the Syktyvkar Arsenal's revenge weapons. When he coups the government, he attacks the legislative assembly with tear gas. When he is cementing his rule, he can gas Suslov to death. After he declares his Regency, he mandates the liberal use of chemical weapons in battles. He also uses chemical gas bombings in his extermination campaigns, killing entire villages in a manner similar to the German terror bombings. He even creates even more deadly and outright corrosive chemical weapons at the superregional stage.
· Death by Despair: When the clock reaches zero (which can be delayed, but not averted), Taboritsky's sanity will drop completely and he will ultimately die of despair due to the realization that Tsarevich Alexei is dead and is never coming back.
· Decapitated Army: When Taboritsky's Sanity Meter inevitably runs out and he dies, it's strongly implied his death is covered up by radio and television by his officers. His leader trait then changes to "The Silent Regent", which effectively paralyzes the Holy Russian Empire, starts to melt his political base, completely stops new manpower recruits and reduces population overall, permamently. This eventually spirals into Russia collapsing so catastrophically that it becomes similar to the wastelands of a post nuclear war world.
· Doomsday Clock: Post-regional unification, Taboritsky gains a new decision screen called "The Clockworks", displaying a time that slowly progresses from the first hour to midnight, and a warning that the time must never reach midnight. It is a representation of Taboritsky's sanity, and various events that appear throughout the game will speed up or slow down the clock, and events unlocked as the clock progresses shows an increasingly unhinged Taboritsky. When the time hits Midnight, Taboritsky dies and the entire Empire meets its doom; recruitable population is set to 0%, unit organization is cut in half, and Burgundian System support gets a popularity drain, likely representing the Empire of nightmares literally collapsing in on itself.
· Downer Ending: Of all the possible warlords who can unify Russia, the development team considers Taboritsky's ending to be the absolute worst for Russia itself (though not the entire world, that honor goes to Hyperborea and the All-Russian Black League, both of which are likely to start a global thermonuclear war and end the world), which is known as the 'failstate'. Taboritsky's mad rule of Russia causes the country to collapse so catastrophically that it has no successor states; Russia simply becomes an absolutely lawless wasteland, with the ideological, societal, and demographic madness inflicted by the Holy Russian Empire being so severe that it kills off the very idea of a Russian nation, forever.
Quote from news event of Taboritsky's national unification: "God save Russia - for no-one else can."
· Dystopia Is Hard: Taboritsky's genocidal purges and genocidal ethnic cleansing will bring crippling penalties to his empire.
· Evil Costume Switch: During Komi's coup-countercoup stage, Taboritsky's ideology is Despotism, and he wears a suitably regal uniform fitting his monarchism in his portrait. After his ideology changes to Burgundian System, he replaces this suit with an evil-looking coat with really high collars and a German-style military tunic underneath.
· Evil Counterpart: To Rurik II. Both of them are despotic rulers of a country who suffer from blatant insanity. Many of their actions and policies stem from their madness and they have some of the most unique and radical unifiers available for Russia. Both leaders also lay claim to a royal position and model their societies after their interpretation of Russia's pre-communist past: Rurik uses Kievan Rus' as his model, while Taboritsky uses Tsarist Russia. The difference is that Rurik II, despite being insane, remains a pragmatic and wise leader, while Taboritsky is a horrible ruler precisely because he is completely insane. Rurik II starts out as a despot, but his son can turn Russia into a democracy; Taboritsky starts as a despot and ends up modeling his government according to the Burgundian System. Rurik II leaves a united, powerful Russia to his successors, while Taboritsky has no heir who could inherit his empire, and said empire collapses after his death and ends all possibility of a united Russia for good. Finally, Rurik II unifying Russia is one of the better endings for it, while Taboritsky unifying Russia is the worst ending.
· Evil Regent: If Taboritsky reunites Western Russia, he will make himself the Regent of Alexei Romanov (who's long dead), ruling the country until Alexei "comes back". And he certainly lives up to the "evil" part upon taking power, transforming Russia into a theocratic totalitarian dictatorship modeled off of the principles of the Burgundian System. Unlike traditional examples of evil regents, Taboritsky isn't working against Alexei; instead, all of his insanity is an attempt at creating a pure Russia for Alexei to rule over.
· Failure Is the Only Option: There is no way for Taboritsky to achieve his goal of creating a 'pure' Holy Russian Empire for Tsar Alexei to rule over. His beloved Tsar being dead (despite what Taboritsky thinks) aside, his insanely repressive rule turns Russia into a Hell on Earth that quickly collapses after his death, and will never become a unified, functional country again.
· Final Solution: Taboritsky exterminates all non-ethnic Russians in the Holy Russian Empire, considering them to be subhumans who have propagated amongst the pure race for so long.
· Foil: To Alexander Men in the Far-East. Both are spoiler-ridden and hidden paths on the opposite ends of Russia that were heavily teased during production. After their reveal, the two of them were shown to be opposites of each other in meaningul ways. Both of them have a fondness for using Christianity as a basis of their beliefs and start out as despotism, but their true beliefs aren't actually so. Taboritsky is an Ax-Crazy adherent of the Burgundian System trying to make a long dead kid Tsar again, whilst using Christianity and is own delusions to justify butchering Russia in one of the game's worst fail-states. Alexander Men on the other hand is a Bait-and-Switch Tyrant who acts as a Messianic Archetype in his quest to bring about an egalitarian Russia in a system that combines Christian benevolence with mutualist and borderline social anarchsit economics through one of Russia's best paths. Men also tolerates other faiths and walks the path of Christian forgiveness, while Taboritsky believes everyone who slighlty crosses him deserves a harsh divine punishment. There is also a unique event should Alexander Men's last opponent for Russia be Taboritsky, where he compares his Burgundian Nightmare to the the work of The Antichrist.
· Foreshadowing: He brings about a Holy Russian Empire if he manages to reunite Russia under his twisted system, and the reunification quote in his super event is also referencing the Holy Roman Empire. Guess what's bound to happen in 1972-1982 segment after he dies.
· From Bad to Worse: He rises up during a warlord period in a country that has already suffered a lot of hardships before its collapse, before embarking on a genocidal campaign to 'purify' and then reunite Russia as a regent for a long-dead prince to take over. His reign of terror has ultimately ensured that Russia will never be able to unite and become a functional country ever again.
· From Nobody to Nightmare: Starting out as an outsider with little meaningful influence, Taboritsky is one of the least likely of Ust-Sysolsk's potential leaders to come out on top in the end. If he succeeds in holding onto power, however, he will turn Russia into a twisted, theocratic Burgundian state with all of the horrors that imply.
· The Fundamentalist: Taboritsky is a fundamentalist in his own insane variant of Christianity. Jews, Muslims, and Atheists are expectedly evil corruptors in his eyes, but he also considers any Christians who dare to speak out against him to be heretics.
· Genocide from the Inside: Taboritsky, being a Russian half-Jew, launches what is effectively a massive self-genocide campaign inside his Holy Russian Empire against degenerate Russians (judged using his Burgundian-inspired standards) through his relentless purges, and also genocides Russian Jews as a part of his genocide campaign against non-ethnic Russians.
