Stalin, btw, I guessed it correctly. Commander-in-chief NES.
A question - will we have any way to influent things like diplomacy, research, etc? Not control, but INFLUENT (and not exactly OTL ones... Its just that I have a really great idea for a possible WWI weapon...)? I also think tech development should depend on how the war goes - many technologies would not be developped, not as well as in OTL anyway, if, say, the war does not become a trench one. And are military coups in (possibly with the player switching to a different commander-in-chief after the previous one becomes the ruler)?
Confirming Russia, btw.
