Page "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (video game)" Paragraph 22

Ghost Recon begins in April 2008, with civil unrest in Russia borne out of an ultra-nationalist regime that came to power and placed its leader, Dmitri Arbatov, as president.

The ultranationalists form the Russian Democratic Union ( RDU ) and conquer Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, with eyes set on the other former Soviet republics.
