Nitpick: Trailer kinda undersells the situation for the Soviet people. Like, it's not just the survival of the Union at stake, but its peoples as well, given what the Nazis were going to do with them. Also, they can narrate Third Rome's trailer in Russian but have to resort to fake-ass accents with this?
Other than that, nice trailer and fucking finally we get a release date. :train-shining: :trot-shining: :lets-fucking-go:

EUIV gang stays winning.

You can download the game, all DLC, and cracks from here. No Step Back will probably be available pretty soon after its release. There's also a way to make the pirated DLC work with a legal copy of the game (CreamAPI), but use at your own risk. I don't think anyone has been banned on Steam because of it yet, but you never know. And obviously don't log in to your Paradox account on the launcher.
It's a forum so you'll need to make an account to see the links.
Russian pirate xatab often used Lenin's quote "The art must belong to people" as epigraph for his repacks.
Wait actually? I've downloaded xatab repacks before and I never noticed. Very cool
I never heard of him, so I went to look him up and - oh.
RIP comrade :rat-salute:
Edit: Supposedly a photo of him. The flag seems to be this, "flag of the May 9 Order of the Patriotic War", basically commemorating the end of the war with Germany. Very nice.
You can actually still register .su sites, but I guess cs.rin.ru isn't based enough.
It comes from Order No. 227 issued by Stalin in July 1942. The line 'Not a step back!' (Ни шагу назад!, Ni shagu nazad!) became a huge slogan for the war effort around that time.
The Order itself is kind of where the west gets the asiatic hordes, 'Enemy at the Gates'-esque portrayal of the Eastern Front, because the order established penal battalions and blocking detachments to hold the line against the Nazis.
Not sure if I could find it again, but I read that the capital punishments were mainly reserved for officers, and any fleeing soldiers caught by the blocking detachments weren't punished but sent back to their units... Which I guess could be seen as a punishment if the entire context is ignored
Probably not
Edit: i think it's a reference to stalin's quote "not one step back"
It's a reference to the general order by the USSR that unauthorized retreat would no longer be tolerated.
Yeah more or less. Company of Heroes 2 did the same thing with misreading order 227
DO NOT COUNT DAYS, DO NOT COUNT MILES, COUNT ONLY THE NUMBER OF GERMANS YOU HAVE KILLED!
