The 2017 Soviet Square Massacre was a terrorist attack on the Russatrovan Soviet Regime carried out on April 10th, 2017 when a bomb detonated amidst a crowd of civilians attending a public speech in Soviet Square Capital Court outside the Russatrovan capital building and an armed militant rushed the stage with a knife. The 1,336 pounds (606 kg) urea nitrate–hydrogen gas enhanced device was intended to kill the entire crowd as well as the government officials. It failed to do so but killed fifty-six civilians and injured over a thousand. The militant rushed the stage after fatally stabbing a Soviet conscript guarding the stage but was abruptly killed from a bullet-wound to the head inflicted by the Premier Adrian Aleksandr in self defense.

The attack was planned by a group of terrorists called The Russan State, which claims itself as freedom fighters against the current regime. Among other conspirators, two men have been identified in the planning and execution of the attack identified as Oleksiy Petro who was killed by the Premier after rushing the stage and Kateryna Ruzhena who was seized by Russatrovan police after trying to flee.

After extensive interrogation Katernya Ruzhena was found guilty of High Treason and was executed by Premier Adrian Aleksandr two days later.

International Reactions

Astariax expressed their full support towards the Russatrovan government shortly after the incident occurred, marking the Russan State as a terrorist group and pledging to aid the Russatrovans if a need for aid befell them. The incident was a "somewhat common, yet still worrying" event, according to government officials.

Response from Bendan was slightly different, since the government released a different statement, than the king. King, although condemning the attack on innocent civilians, did not condemn the assassination attempt on the Russatrovan premier, saying that "regarding the higher principle, the murder of a tyrant is not a crime". The government then said that the king's statement did not express official stance of the government.

Ghijuko explicitly condemned the attack insinuating that murder and terrorism are miserable actions as is the attack on innocent civilians. However they did not condemned the attack on the premier

The Hofflandian Union gave a half-hearted sympathy to the Russatrovan administration, but gave full support behind helping to stop the Russian State from spreading. As told at a press conference the day after: "These terrorists, even though they fight a regime that squanders the rights of their people and shuts down opposition, are focused on creating a power vacuum in one of Anteria's most powerful nations. They wish to create a nation in which even the most basic rights on mankind are crushed underfoot."

The Nouveauriche government did not officially take sides on the situation, instead vaguely expressing their sympathy to "all victims of violence around Anteria". The Nouveauriche Foreign Service has confirmed that no Nouveauriche citizens were harmed in the incident. The private sector, on the other hand, has expressed concern over the potential economic shocks the attack may cause across the Anterian landscape.

In a serious and official tone, the father of the homeland, David Evo Khess, headed from the main Evoikos website: www.evoikos.protectors.evo

In the message recorded from Evo Khess's personal residence, the images of the attacks followed the emotional words of the father of the nation. "Two of our compatriots have died at the hands of the bloody materialist terrorist... The facts will not be undamaged." The President confirmed in the same statement, about ten minutes, that he would meet with his personal military council as well as with the Hepocos (heads) of security, internal affairs and external fraternity. The measures taken so far have been the detention of all Russastrovos residents in Evoikos. Now their residence permits will be much more demanded than previously. In addition, the police and the army have begun collecting information on possible branches of the pro-Russian terrorist organization on the motherland. Meanwhile, the Evoikosian government, sent a message of encouragement to the families affected by the incident, contacted the Russastrova government and confirmed that they will have all their economic and military support in the fight against the armed group. Evoikos will mourn this week in honor of Ullye Guert and Ruyapola Friedna, the couple of Frozztie ancestry and dual russastrova-evoikosian citizenship.
