'''Oleksii Dobrovolsky''' (born Oleksii Tarasovych Dobrovolsky; June 30, 1909{{snd}}March 17, 1974; aged 64) was a [[Narozalica|Narozalic]] civil statesman and politician who served as the [[PDP|Chief of Staff of the PDP]] between 1952 and 1971, encompassing most of the tenure of [[Gabriel Tozulyak]]. Dobrovolsky had been an unofficial adviser to Tozulyak since his senatorial days, and was incredibly influential in shaping his outlook as well as controlling information flow to him whilst he served as the PDP's Chief of Staff. Political analysts have referred to Dobrovolsky as one of the most notorious and powerful ''{{wp|éminence grise|éminences grises}}'' of the 20th century during his tenure as the PDP's Chief of Staff, changing Narozalica's domestic and foreign outlook and policies.
The '''Soravian Revolution''' ({{wp|Rusyn language|Soravian}}: Зоравська революція; ''Zoravs'ka revolyutsiya''), also known as the '''Revolution of 1856''' (Soravian: Революція 1856 року; ''Revolyutsiya 1856 roku''), was a period of widespread unrest and rebellion within the [[Soravian Empire]] between 1856 and 1857. The revolution was a culmination of many different factors, but was brought to an apogee by Soravia's defeat in the [[War of the Triple Alliance]]. The revolution was successful in overthrowing the [[Emperor of Soravia|Soravian monarchy]] and establishing the [[Soravia|Soravian Republic]] in its place.
 
Dobrovolsky was born in 1909 in the rural farming village of Shielvkasemysotka as the fourth of six children born to father Maksim and mother Vasilina (née Biaritz). His father was an industrial worker producing metals at the nearby Lyubarskaya Industrial Zone, and his mother was an immigrant from [[Lemovicia]]. At 19, Dobrovolsky was conscripted into the [[Narozalic Army]] and sent to fight on the western front of the [[Great War]]. He was stationed at [[Krada]], Świebodzin and later Kamnik in [[Slirnia]]. In 1935 he left the army as a corporal to pursue further education. After failed initial attempts, he went into work for six years, before joining Syrnitsa College in 1941, where he met [[Gabriel Tozulyak]]. Dobrovolsky left the college in 1943, joining the [[PDP]] during the [[Solarian War]] in 1944, and was stationed in [[Arciluco]] and [[Dubovica]]. He also began serving as an unofficial adviser to Tozulyak in 1950 when he was elected as a senator for Syrnitsa. Putting his political influence on Tozulyak throughout his senatorial period, the two developed a close political and personal bond that was expanded greatly when Dobrovolsky used a leadership scandal within the PDP to rise to its Chief of Staff position in 1952.
 
When Tozulyak became president in 1955, Dobrovolsky was entrusted behind the scenes as one of his closest advisors. He used this position, as well as his high-ranking position within the PDP, to control and limit the flow of information into the president, heavily influencing his political outlook to conform to his own {{wp|interventionism (politics)|interventionist views}}. Tozulyak oversaw one of the largest periods of Narozalic military funding and expansion since the wartime era, and is thought to have been directly influenced by Dobrovolsky. He championed {{wp|reformism}} and pushed Tozulyak to undergo the largest agricultural reforms in Narozalic history with the introduction of large corporation farms and supply routes. Dobrovolsky is also thought to have been the arbiter of positive relations between the [[Amathian Equalist Republic]] as well as military intervention during the [[Thistle Uprising (Amathia)|Thistle Uprising]] and the sale of uranium to fund Amathian nuclear power projects, moves that would all culminate in the NVNP's rejection of Tozulyak as president and his forced resignation shortly after Dobrovolsky stepped down as the PDP's Chief of Staff in 1971. Dobrovolsky died of cancer three years later in [[Samistopol]].
 
Dobrovolsky's involvement in the Tozulyak presidency was not fully recognised until the declassification of state documents during Dobrovolsky's tenure in 1994. He was {{wp|posthumous trial|posthumously trialled}} and convicted of gross corruption and had all of his military honours stripped. [[Ivan Lecsko]], president at the time of trial, controversially had Dobrovolsky's coffin removed from the July Mausoleum in [[Samistopol]] and relocated to the nearby
Kravets Cemetery. He is a highly controversial figure in western Euclea but is widely studied for his effects on Narozalic foreign policy, militarism and domestic economic reforms, as well as the gross misuse of his power and the potential {{wp|nepotism}} that allowed him to adopt the role of an influential {{wp|power behind the throne}} figure.

The Soravian Revolution (Soravian: Зоравська революція; Zoravs'ka revolyutsiya), also known as the Revolution of 1856 (Soravian: Революція 1856 року; Revolyutsiya 1856 roku), was a period of widespread unrest and rebellion within the Soravian Empire between 1856 and 1857. The revolution was a culmination of many different factors, but was brought to an apogee by Soravia's defeat in the War of the Triple Alliance. The revolution was successful in overthrowing the Soravian monarchy and establishing the Soravian Republic in its place.

After defeat in the War of the Triple Alliance, Soravia was required to pay a large indemnity after the Congress of Torrazza, which caused a large increase to what were already high war taxes. Small-scale peasants' revolts occurred across the country, which were brutally repressed by the military but caused a growing empathy within low-ranking soldiers, who mutinied at Borzhava in January 1856. By May, unrest with the conservative government of Count Mikhailitsyn resulted in a large liberal revolt in the capital Samistopol. Mikhailitsyn refused to resign and was backed by Soravian emperor Ivan VI, causing greater unrest around the country. Simultaneously, revolutionaries Marceli Tyburski and Melchior Wiśniowski declared the Miersan Revolutionary Republic in both Soravian and Gaullican Miersa. Soravia requested the assistance of Gaullican forces in quelling the new Miersan state, but they were unable to do so. By August, Ivan and Mikhailitsyn's government had fled to Ulan Khol, and Samistopol fell to liberal–republican forces under the lead of Eduard Olsov, proclaiming the new Soravian republic.

In December, Mikhailitsyn was assassinated in Ulan Khol by forces linked with republican circles under the lead of Robert Marinin, causing his government to scatter and flee the country and a separate republican government to be proclaimed in the city. Marinin and Olsov eventually met in January 1857 and agreed to unite their movements under a compromise that saw the republic maintain its strong head-of-state but concede on matters of federalism and ethnic self-determination. A month later, the White Guard declared independence in Laudania, beginning the Laudanian War of Independence which ended in 1859. The Miersan Revolutionary Republic was ultimately defeated after some of its elements defected to secure power in the newly-created subdivision of Miersa within the Soravian Republic.

Soravian revolutionaries and ideologies took great inspiration from the Etrurian and Weranian Revolutions, as well as the ill-fated Easter Revolution later on. Soravia ultimately became the first long-lived republic in Euclea, which saw it become a centre of revolutionary thought and later for the development of socialism under Yuri Nemtsov. The Congress of Marolevia held in Krada became crucial in the development of self-determination and pan-Marolevism as political and philosophical concepts. The revolution also resulted in the Chistovinalian Declaration of Independence later in 1859, becoming one of the last new world colonies to achieve independence. Soravia's power and influence on the world stage was greatly diminished by the events of 1856, which some have argued saw Soravia fall from its great power status in favour of the newly-unified Werania.
