Cyrene III (Cyrene Olena Ulyana Oxana Ivanov; b. 23 December 1976) is the High Archduchess of Cosacakaya. She ascended the throne after the death of her grandfather, High Archduke Andriy II.

Initially, unexpected to succeed her father and older brother, she was thrust into the position of heir apparent after the 2010 Cosacakaya Airlines Flight 122 Incident, when both her father and brother perished in an aircraft crash. After several months, she was finally appointed heir to the throne following a constitutional amendment was implemented finally which allowed women to inherit the throne.

Following the death of her grandfather, her coronation was delayed by opposition to a woman becoming High Archduchess of Cosacakaya during the 2018 Cosacakaya Constitutional Crisis and 2018 Cosacakayan opposition Protests. These tensions came ahead during the Black Thursday, in which with the support of Grand Prince Yuri and the Bolyar, purged overthrew the civilian government and solidified Cyrene III hold on the throne. Since the Black Thursday, Cyrene III and Grand Prince Yuri have undergone sweeping purges of the Cosacakayan government, nobility and Siloviki; consolidating and cementing their authority over the apparatuses of the government of Cosacakaya through her Oprichniki.

Since the start of her reign, the policies of her government have witnessed a large increase of repression against political rivals through the Oprichnina and a growing willing to use violence for the denial of channels for peaceful change. Government corruption, the inability of her government to deliver public services, and the lack of equality of opportunity has continued to dramatically increase. Opposition figures have criticised her government of increasing corruption, nepotism, and kleptocracy within the government and security services.

Early Life

Birth

Cyrene was born on 3 December 1976 in Osti, High Archduchy of Cosacakaya to Mikhailo, Archduke of Cosacakaya and his wife [xxxx]. Cyrene was the youngest of two children her parents would have together and the only daughter the couple would have together. Despite the wishes of her mother for a home birth, she was delivered via an emergency caesarean section because of umbilical cord prolapse and was subsequently transferred to a neo-natal unit for close observation as a precaution. Cyrene's brother and grandparents remained at hospital until she was healthy enough to be discharged. However her father reportedly never came to visit his wife or sickly daughter. Something which the royal family later denied.

Her name was inspired by her great-great-great-grandmother Cyrene II; who briefly served the High Archduchess during the regency of great-great grandfather Archduke Yuri. She was baptised in the Eastern Orthodoxy at Saint Kolomenskoye's Cathedral in Ost a month after her birth and christened ‘’Cyrene Olena Ulyana Oxana Ivanov’’ and received the title Princess of Cosacakaya. Her grandfather High Archduke Andriy II was named her godparent.

Heir apparent

After the deaths of father and older brother in the 2010 Cosacakaya Airlines Flight 122 Incident, she was considered to the leading candidate of heir apparent ahead of her uncle, Grand Prince Alexander. During this time, Cyrene began to undertake various royal duties on behalf of her grandfather.

After several months, she was finally appointed heir to the throne following a constitutional amendment was implemented finally which allowed women to inherit the throne.

Cyrene joined All-Cosacakayan People's Front as an official representative of the Crown and as part of her royal duties in 2013. She soon rose to lead the Religious Movement of Mothers of Cosacakaya organisation. She continued to work for charitable causes for at-risk children.. With funding from federal and regional grants, companies and oligarchs, Cyrene started to portray herself as the benevolent Mother of all Cosacakayans while also developing close relations with power elements of the government.

During her time as heir apparent, Cyrene greatly expanded the position's power and influence at the expense of her rivals in government - changing from being a ceremonial position with little to no power to become one of the most influential positions in government. Her expansion of the powers of the position resulted in heavy criticism by the Konctitkis for abuse of power. Something which Cyrene denied.

Relationship with the Church

When her friend Alexy Volodin became children's commissioner in 2016, her funding surged.


Tension with Grand Prince Alexander & Konctitkis

Grand Prince Alexander was a major critic of his father's style of rule.

As  High Archduke Andriy's health began to worsen, tensions between herself and Grand Prince Alexander began to grow over their differing views for the future of Cosacakaya. As she became an increasingly prominent member of her grandfather's inner circle, reportedly at the expense of Alexander, her uncle began to publicly criticise the 'authoritarianphilic' Cyrene in the press.

Early Reign

2018 Cosacakaya Constitutional Crisis

At the beginning of her reign, Cyrene fought with the Supreme Court of Cosacakaya and Parliament of Cosacakaya for control over government and opposition to a woman becoming the High Archduchess. The crisis began when Alexander challenged the legality of the ascension and accused Cyrene of orchestrating a power grab.

Black Thursday

Buryatya Conflict

Destroyed Cosacakayan military vehicle after the Run on Bichura. Heavy losses suffered by Royal Land Force of Cosacakaya weaken her support among the Vihiki.

The next major challenge of her reign came with the 2019 Buryatya Conflict, when fighters belonging to the Buryatyan Liberation Army took advantage of the situation in the Cosacakayan government to seize control over most of Buryatya. Secessionist sentiment in the region had been growing and eventually spilled out into open rebellion when members of the BLA stormed local government building.

In January 2019, Cyrene ordered a Counter-Terrorist operation of the region in an attempt to restore control over the Buryatya. On 31 January, Cyrene made her first televised address as High Archduchess announcing a military operation aimed at clearing the troubled region of separatists and terrorists.

Allegations of fostering a cult of personality

Cyrene often appears in religious clothing, trying to appear a devout motherly figure of all Cosacakayans.

Cyrene has worked to cultivate a cult of personality around herself and the Cosacakayan Royal Family, as the defender of traditional Christian values and maternal figure to all Cosacakayans, an accusation that the Royal Family has denied. As a result of that, Cyrene often appears in religious clothing, trying to appear a devout wearing a Christian veiling and frequently quotes religious verses during public addresses. She is filmed and pictured with her large family attending mass and other religious celebrations.

After Black Thursday, her supporters, especially among the right-wing, welcomed the her actions with celebrations and carried posters of Cyrene, chanting "The Monarchy and the People are one hand against enemies of the state." At the direction of the Oprichnina, on social networks, thousands of Cosacakayans changed their profile pictures to pictures of herself or the Cosacakayan Royal Family. Several campaigns were started online requesting that Cyrene add the title of All-Mother of the Nation.

Since 2022, foreign observers reported Cyrene's government intensifying attempts to establish an Imperial cult around the her family was the only way to counter growing opposition to the monarchy. Media in the country depict her as being combination of brilliant leader and kind mother who will restore Cosacakayan greatness and traditional values. As a result of this campaign, many of her supporters has been affectionally called her Bambashka or grandmother. In recently years, the government has been dedicating more music, art and sculpture to the glorification of the royal family.

Observer of the Cosacakayan monarchy, Michael Kofman, believed that is was part of a broader domestic policy of her trying to consolidate and strengthen her own power against nobility and her political opponents after the Black Thursday.

Anti-LGBT policies

Main Page: LGBT policies of High Archduches Cyrene III

In early 2020 Cyrene was an early support to the Parliament of Cosacakaya discussions of passing new laws criminalising same-sex relationships. Cyrene claimed that the law was necessary combat rising 'pedophilia' in Cosacakaya. In February of that year federal law was passed ban the distribution of "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" among minors was passed. If found guilty, then Cosacakaya citizens could face huge fines and public officials should be arrested and charities could also be forced to cease operations for up to 90 days. Cyrene applauded this law as a "major step forward in combating perversions of the worst of society."

In reaction to backlash and criticism both in Cosacakaya against the law, Cyrene hinted to reporters that the law made it illegal holding any sort of public demonstration in favour of gay rights, speak in defence of LGBT rights, and distribute material related to LGBT culture, or to state that same-sex relationships are equal to heterosexual relationship.

In early 2023, Cyrene spoke about the need for even stronger law targeting the LGBT community in her country and called for legalisations to pass. This quickly gained support among the right-wing and Andrei Batunin introduced legislation to make it illegal to simply identify as LGBT. Cyrene has been frequently spotted on state tv arguing for the need for further restrictions freedom of speech on LGBT civil rights and the introduction of harsher penalties for certain types of homosexual acts.


Expansion of the Counter-intelligence State

Cyrene meets with a member of the Counter-intelligence in 2014.

As Heir apparent, Cyrene's links with the Silovik faction grew and she was repeated linked with several former members of the Counter-intelligence Service between 2013 to 2018.

Cyrene has order her government exercised greater censorship and other forms of control over education, publishing, and all manifestations of public life. Critics contended that the government's actions eroded civil liberties, including freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to privacy.

Human rights

Military reforms

Since Cyrene became High Archduchess in 2018, her government has been pumping more money into Cosacakayan's military and defence industry, rapidly expanding the size and strength of the Royal Armed Forces of Cosacakaya in order to restore confidence in the armed forces following the crises of the 2018 Cosacakaya Constitutional Crisis and the Buryatya Conflict. In spite of this, concerns remained within the among foreign observers over the lack of strategic flexibly of the military and the competence of its leadership.

After the poor performance of the armed forces during the Buryatya Conflict, exposing problems with affected by rampant corruption and decay, Cyrene announced the beginning of further military reforms to aiming to modernize the Royal Armed Forces of Cosacakaya and make them significantly more effective an in any future conflict. From 2020 Cosacakaya started placing more money into its military and defense industry and in the following year, the Ministry of Defence was directed to announce plans to spend up to US$4 billion over the next twelve years, however, the final cost may climb up to $12 billion, to retire outdated equipment and acquire brand new weapons systems.

In July of 2022, the Cyrene announced plans to accelerate the ongoing modernisation programme which would see an expansion of the country's more elite and politically loyal infantry units. These include the Royal Naval Infantry Forces and the Royal Airborne Forces as part of her Cosacakaya Defence Reform Act 2035 with growing focus to the creation of a rapid-reaction force. At the same time, the Army will take the brunt of the reduction of its military capacity and see a reduction in the number of professional soldiers and an increase use of conscripts.

According to Michael Kofman, Cyrene's decision to pour money and resources into building up the country's elite infantry units ability to conduct combined arms warfare was part of a boarder strategy to concentrate her control over the country following the chaotic start of her reign. He describing them as a politically loyal counterweight to the regular armed forces and for them to act as a praetorian guard and to guard against any coup attempt.

Views on the Economy

Cyrene is a reported believer in a mixed economy, with a mixture of regulations in the private sector with market freedoms, public ownership of several key industries such as energy and defence. Her government has frequently intervened in markets and closely regulated the private sector, although often these regulations have been weaponised to target her politic enemies. A key part of Cyrene's economic policies has been in protectionism, and the regulation of global interaction with the economy, through the use of tariffs and government subsidies to domestic producers loyal to her government.

As a result, Cyrene's reign has been marked by a concentrated effort to increase government control over the economy directly and indirectly through the nobility - which has caused a sharp increase in corruption, nepotism, and kleptocracy. A key part of this policy has been through centralisation of the economy with a growing priority on self-sufficiency and independence from other nations in the world. Although economic liberalism was an important part of her  grandfather's reign, Cyrene has been a noted critic of laissez-faire capitalism, which she describes as 'incompatible' the historical role of state control in the economy.

Controversy

Cultural Assimilation

In 2021, Cyrene meet with representatives from the relevant departments, legislative and executive government bodies in the Buryatyan Military Authority to discuss the intergradation of Buryat children into general Cosacakayan culture. According to human rights activists, they finalised plans for the transferring of Buryat orphans from the Buryatyan Military Authority to the custody of ethnic Cosacakayan families.

Over the next few weeks, the Cosacakayan Movement For Democracy reported that the children were banned from speaking their native language in favour of Cosacakayan. While waiting to be transferred to their new families, the many of the children released videos describing the poor conditions they were being held in. While being promised that their temporary accommodations would be in a dormitory at a city college or two family-type children’s homes, they were instead left in an abandoned warehouse without any running water.

Once they had been transferred, 160 children entered into the custody of Cosacakayan families and reportedly began a process of forced assimilation into Cosacakayan identity by the teaching cultural values and practices to be held in common by the majority them. They would also be prohibited from communicating with close relatives and wouldn't be given an opportunity to return home.

According to a spokesman from Buryatyan Military Authority, the operation was launched in accordance with executive orders signed by Grand Duchess Cyrene, children from the Buryatya that have been left without parental care would enter the custody of the government and would receive a special cultural, religious education based Cosacakayan values to serve their best interests and their future.

In early 2022, Cyrene highlighted during an interview that the Buryat orphans have had their Buryat identities erased after being raised by ethnic Cosacakayan families. She admitted that they are now "indistinguishable from the locals".

Neglect and Mismanagement in Charities

In 2017, on the initiative of Cyrene, she opened a boarding house for at risk orphan teenagers, only the second in Cosacakaya. Nicknamed “ Cyrene’s House” by the press, it began operating in Zenpa, a small town located 45 minutes from Osti.

Politics

The government of the Republic of Cosacakaya is defined under the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of Cosacakaya as a federal semi-presidential republic . The President Denys Shevchenko is the head of state and represents the "unity of the people" with sweeping executive powers, while the First Minister is the head of government. The government structure centres on the Executive Council of Cosacakaya, led by the President. The 200-seat unicameral parliament, is elected by direct popular vote every five years. The First Minister is elected by popular vote in a separate election by Parliament.

President

The President Denys Shevchenko, serves as the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Cosacakayan Defence Forces. The President's duties were previously limited as a strictly representative and ceremonial role in the domestic politicis, but a constitutional amendment passed by the Parliament on 3 November 1994 removed previous the limitations. President has sweeping executive and legislative powers. The President also directly controls the foreign affairs and defence portfolios and is capable of issuing laws by decree.

The President is responsible for appointing the Executive Council of Cosacakaya according to the proposals of the parliament and is the leader of both governmental bodies. According to the constitution, the President has the right to declare a state of emergency, to issue certain domestic laws, to declare amnesty, and to appoint civil servants and military personnel all with approval from the parliament. The Monarch also receives foreign heads of state, calls referendums and dissolve the ruling cabinet with approval from the High Court.

Government

The First Minister, Mariya Melnyk, is the head of government and is appointed by Parliament in a special parliamentary vote. The First Minister doesn't select the Executive Council of Cosacakaya but does have the exclusive right to dismiss the Executive Council with approval from a parliamentary committee.

The Constitution of Cosacakaya grants the judiciary independence for other branches of government, but the President continues to exercise influence over the judiciary by virtue of the power to appoint judges and oversee both judicial functions and law enforcement. The Judiciary of Cosacakaya is composed of the Supreme Court and subordinate courts, a Constitutional Court, and independent prosecutorial institutions. Cosacakaya's highest court is the High Court of Cosacakaya, which has both judicial and administrative power. Various lower courts exist, though local judges resolve most local disputes in more rural areas.

The Parliament of Cosacakaya is a unicameral legislative body. The Parliament has the power to enact laws, approve the budget, schedule elections, select and dismiss the First Minister and other ministers, declare war, and ratify international treaties and agreements. It is composed of 200 proportionally elected members who serve four-year terms.

Military of Cosacakaya

Members of the Land Force of Cosacakaya practice demounting and taking up defensive positions during a live-fire exercise.

The Cosacakayan Defence Forces currently have four branches, the Land Force of Cosacakaya, the Naval Force of Cosacakaya, the Aviation Force of Cosacakaya and the National Guard of Cosacakaya. The Cosacakayan Defence Forces is headed by its Chief of General Staff, subordinate to the Executive Council of Cosacakaya. The Cosacakayan Defence Forces also draws upon the resources of the Military Intelligence Directorate of Cosacakaya.

The Cosacakayan Defence Forces drafts Cosacakayans into the military at the age of 18, with men serving between twelve-to-eighteen months - depending on the branch - before being discharged. Following mandatory service, former conscripts enter the reservist pool and are liable to be called up until their 35th birthday. Women are exempt from conscription. As a result of the Cosacakayan conscription program, the CDF is capable of mobilising an additional 800,000 reservists at wartime to supplement its active troops. The nation's military relies heavily on high-tech weapons systems designed and manufactured abroad and has a small domestic defence industry.

The military has been severely affected by rampant corruption and decay, with limited attempts at modernisation of the Cosacakaya military. In 2018, the Ministry of Defence announced plans to spend up to US$4 billion over the next twelve years, however, the final cost may climb up to $12 billion, to retire outdated equipment and acquire brand new weapons systems.

Economy

Transportation

Railway transport - the most popular and cheapest form of travel - in Cosacakaya was mostly under the control of the state-run Cosacakaya Railway Firm until it's privatisation in 1997. Railway transport connects all major urban areas, port facilities and industrial centres in Cosacakaya and her neighbouring countries. It has a monopoly on all rail traffic; including passenger and cargo. However, since privatisation, the Cosacakaya Railway Firm has been plagued by poor maintenance and efficiency with further shortages of modern trains. All of the country's railroad track use standard gauge

Transport infrastructure in Cosacakaya is under-developed, spanning ground, sea, and air transport. Because of omnipresent corruption in Cosacakaya, much of the country's modern transport network is archaic and in a state of disrepair. Road transport is both widespread and the second most popular form of travel; especially in rural areas. Car ownership is high but undermined by the poor maintenance on most roads.

Transport by air is developing quickly since the privatization of the previously state-owned Cosacakaya Airlines; which now holds hegemony over the air transport sector in the country. Cosacakaya Airlines reportedly maintains a fleet of nearly 40 aircraft and has invested heavily in transport infrastructure with government support.

Activism

During the 2018 Cosacakaya Constitutional Crisis, Alina became increasingly involved with the pro-monarchy, Christian nationalist movement in Cosacakaya. She was heavily involved in activism while still at high school and took part in demonstrations in support of High Archduchess Cyrene. She repeatedly condemned her father for his role in leading pro-democracy demonstrations and opposing his niece.

She began to participate in anti-Konctitki political events during 2018 and 2019 and a participant of several large actions in support of her High Archduchness. When asked about Black Thursday, she described it as one of the "happiest days of her life" and marked "a glorious new era in Cosacakayan history."

She also became involved with the All-Cosacakayan People's Front's youth wing and was one of the lead speakers at a march of commemorating the 5th anniversary of Cyrene III, High Archduchess of Cosacakaya's coronation. She was also one of the leading organisers for the Imperial Restoration League in holding fundraisers in support of the organisation.

However, after 2021, tensions between herself and the Imperial Restoration League began to appear as she complained on social media about them for being "too soft on the Buryat problem." She publicly split with the League in early 2022 and grew to become progressively more caught up with more radical Cosacakayan ultranationalist organisations. Since then, Alina has caused controversy after being spotted with several Cosacakayan far-right leaders - and attending rallies in more support of them.

She has repeatedly called for more harsh treatment of Buryatyan separatist fighters and for the establishment of a pure Cosacakayan ethnostate free of traitorous elements. Such remarks have provoked severe backlash from liberal and non- Cosacakayan identity as Neo-nazi. Singer Reeztochka described Alina as "everything that is wrong with Cosacakayan politics."
