I don't think that there's all that much out there. The BBB doesn't
mention anything about the Russian Republic after their generally
getting their butts kicked in the 'skirmishes' after the main EuroWars
petered out. From what I can gather, after that, everything ended up
pretty much like the USA did, and how Russia is today: fragmented,
crime-ridden, and with massive internal problems. I heard rumours of
Siberia going independent (under the control of the Awakened), but I
don't know if that's canon. There might be some net.supplements around,
but I'm not sure how detailed they'd be. I'll take a look around, see
what I can find for you.
I'd just like to add that *I EMPHATICALLY SECOND THIS REQUEST*! My PC
has a Russian-immigrant contact (with an uncle in the Organizatskaya
(Russian Mafia)), I'm planning to GM a run to Kazakhstan soon (yes,
Gurth, the one I asked you about), and hell, the Russians have always
been fun anyway. Of course, my impression of them comes mainly from Tom
Clancy, so what do I really know?
