About this game

Crisis in the Kremlin: The Cold War is a global real-time political strategy game where you take command of the USSR in its final decade. Shape the fate of your nation as you manage critical elements like the economy, foreign relations, and domestic policy. Engage with countries across the globe, using diplomacy, or wield your influence through proxy wars to expand your reach.

Immerse yourself in both historical and alternate-history events, making pivotal decisions that will guide the USSR down various paths—from reigniting the flame of socialism to embracing Western democracy. With dozens of complex endings, every choice brings you closer to your unique vision for the USSR.

Crisis in the Kremlin offers a richly detailed simulation, where the fate of a superpower rests in your hands. Will you preserve the union or forge a new future?

Perestroika - Continuation of October

Crisis... Crisis has caught up with the Motherland of the Revolution and lurks in its very heart - the Kremlin.

The Soviet Union has stood still for too long, and now many different circumstances, groups and people are pushing it to change. Some see the future in a return to the past, some in cautious reforms, and some want radical change. The Crisis has taken deep roots in Kremlin towers, and the lurking traitors are just waiting for their moment in the spotlight.

Where will the blow of the Cheka officer's punitive sword be directed this time? Where will the knight of the Party in red armour point his finger? And where will the foot of the entire Soviet people step? Greatness? Communism? Reforms? Collapse?

Take command of the Soviet Union in the new, updated Crisis in the Kremlin. Lead the country through the most difficult times. Conduct scientific research, manage finances to bring the USSR out of a prolonged political crisis. Carry out social reforms, introduce free elections or, alternatively, roll back any liberal endeavours: fine-tuning legislation is in your hands. Make friends with the Western world or confront the US and bring about its collapse, follow the unusual path of neo-imperialism or carve your own path: "Crisis in the Kremlin" opens up huge prospects for you.
