The Second Maganskian Civil War was an internal armed conflict in Maganskia fought between the socialist regime of Nikolai Yakovich and the nationalist rebel government of Zdravko Bezrukov from 1992 to 1995. Following the Svoboda Uprising against Premier Yakovich, elements of the military mutinied and seized power in the capital Magansk, swearing allegiance to Bezrukov - the leader of the opposition. The rest of the military quickly fell apart and fractured along political lines. Pro-Yakovich forces attempted to recapture Magansk, triggering wider clashes between loyalist and rebel forces across the Nyalkovo Basin and ultimately plunging the country into a civil war.
Meanwhile Khalyk separatists in both North Khalykia (which joined Maganskia in 1917 to form the Magan-Khalyk Republic) and South Khalykia (which had been invaded and occupied by the Yakovich regime after its own socialist regime had collapsed in 1988) began a protracted military campaign against the occupation forces, working in an uneasy alliance with the Bezrukov government. The sudden emergence of another front stretched regime forces thin and after 3 years of heavy fighting, Yakovich was killed on Belaya Island, placing Bezrukov in power and securing Khalykia's independence.
