The story: In 1919 Rosa Luksemburg survives the failed Spartacist Uprising in Berlin and escapes to Poland with a group of progressive communists and anarchists to start a political movement.

Poland loses the 1920 war with communist Russia and the revolution marches on to the West. Germany stops it thanks to the support of great world powers and the war ends in a white peace in 1922.

Tired communist empire is unable to keep direct control of all of their territory. Soviet Union loses Eastern Ukraine to an anarchist uprising led by Nestor Makhno, who proclaims the Free Republic of Wild Fields (FRWF). Polish Communist Republic (PCR) led by Rosa Luksemburg and Socialist Republic of Western Ukraine (SRWU) gain independence, but stay in Comintern.

In 1924 Stalin becomes the leader of the Soviet Union, but is still unable to regain full control over Poland and Ukraine. A period of relative peace begins. While he consolidates his power in USSR, the influence of anarchist syndicalism strengthens in PCR and FRWF, and fascists rise to power in Italy and Germany.

It’s 1936 and Polish Communist Republic is to make a major decision that may not only influence the region, but the world...
