Russian Empire

The Russian Empire (Russian: Российская империя, Rossiyskaya imperiya) is a minor character in Countryballs.

Overview
The Russian Empire looks like a ball with eyes. It is similar to the classic modern Russian flag, in contrast to the fact that on the left side there is a black double-headed eagle on a golden field, which was the personification of the slogan "Unity of the Tsar with the people". From 1859 to 1883 the flag of the Russian Empire looked like a black-yellow-white tricolor.

Appearances
The Russian Empire first appeared in two episodes - the "History of Belarus (Original)" and its remake, the "History of Belarus (Remake)". After defeating Sweden in the Northern War, the Russian State turned into the Russian Empire. Together with Austria and Prussia, he divided the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth into pieces three times in a row. In 1812 he fought with Napoleonic France, initially losing, but then put the enemy to flight. A member of the Entente, and, interceding for Serbia, entered the First World War, but ceased to exist as a result of the February Revolution, giving way to the Russian Republic.

In "Chinese wisdom", he formed an alliance with Prussia and Austria in order to prevent uprisings in Europe, but he himself later helped the Greek revolutionaries.

In "History of the Belarusian People's Republic", he saw the revolution of the communists from the window. Later he was killed by them.

Characteristics
The Russian Empire is very brave, but still cruel towards those who stand in his way (Sweden and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the uprisings of Poland), but he is always ready to stand up for his brothers, as, for example, for Serbia during the First World War.
