This was a very unique video, I like it. I think it would be a very good idea to make similar videos covering other "nightmare-like" TNO nations like this.
@imppaxd2790 How terrifying it must be to just be clicking buttons. You’re at war with the Poles. Trying to retake all that sweet slavic land of the old Empire and then suddenly, “It must never strike midnight…”
The scariest thing is that even after Taboritsky dies, the death squads keep operating as they did, not receiving any more orders but too afraid to stop performing their duty. So they go village to village, burning and killing, until there's nothing left - spending all the ammunition they have, including mustard gas, as coming back without having fired it warrants a death sentence. There's a scene where a stormtrooper, while liquidating a village, notices a house and two women, lying dead on the ground in front of it, and he recognises them as his mother and sister. But the brainwashing he was subject to was so strong this recognition only resulted in a temporary feeling of disgust and nausea, as he's ordered to march forward, which he obeys.
It almost reminds me of Red Flood and the One State. In it there is a man, a man who goes by a number just like everyone else, but one day he finds old memorabilia. It’s him, it’s him and his family, and most importantly his old name. Due to all the brainwashing he went through, individuality being completely banned under the One State and the reign of the Great Benefactor OP-1, he is convinced it’s all a lie and not him, so he destroys it. All of his cherished memories are destroyed in an all consuming fire, and he goes back to work like nothing ever happened.
im convinced that it is how it was always meant to be played, to make the worst scenario possible, because this is what this mod was always meant to be, the ultimate alternate history creepypasta, where everything went wrong
The plot twist that he knew Alexei was dead and had seen the bones but had gaslighted himself into believing that it was not so was an excellent moment to round off that story. I've played Taboritsky exactly once when the mod came out and seeing that everything that happens during a Tabby run was for less than absolutely nothing made sit back a bit. TNO has many moments like that, it's (or was since I don't know if it's been actively updated anymore) one of the biggest flexes I've seen in modding because it took a war game and turned it into a narrative tool.
Sadly it has removed a lot of made it unique. Atlantropa, Japanese port cities, Goring’s Germany Path, and soon Burgundy from what I hear, have all been removed all because it didn’t fits the developer’s ideas for “realism”. You think they would realize that we hate it by now.
@@GrainOnTheGoyeah why is that and what in the world was the point of replacing Joseph Kennedy with Dewey? Like is it just because hes Republican? Makes no difference
Slight correction is that BurgSys isn’t the classification for Taboritsky’s Russia anymore, they actually got rid of BurgSys as a parent ideology. He’s now classified politically as an “Imperial Cultist”, which is unique to his political views in the world of TNO.
Verify your clocks boys its time to cover some Holy Russian Empire Shenanigans... While I dont play HOI4, I do infact love the lore and I've been recently addicted to watching long playthroughs of certain campaigns. That's where I discovered the beauty that is The New Order: Last Days of Europe and just how incredible that entire mod is. Russia interested me alot and when I found out that its possible to thrust the nation into this nightmare scenario how could I resist. Anyway enjoy the video I had a really good time researching and putting this video essay thing together. ENOJY!!!!
Because of it’s many similarities and parallels to the Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40,000, the Holy Russian Empire is proof that in literally any other setting, the Imperium is a nightmarish state and one of the worst humanity can achieve, especially if saner paths are possible.
An interesting thing to talk about when it comes to the Holy Russian Empire is it's "Shturmoviki" (which is russian for "stormtroopers", as you said in the video) For some reason these guys don't have a lot of lore on them as far as I know, but the lore states that they are worse than the DIRLEWANGER BRIGADE. Yes, you read that right, the lore states that Taboritsky's Shturmoviki are worse than the Dirlewanger Brigade. The wiki states the following: *"The Brigade, at least, had aspirations of power and plunder, which is more than what could be said for Evtukhovich and his ideological zealotry, and they actually accepted Slavs and Kazakhs into their ranks if they were just as brutal as Dirlewanger was."* The same does not apply to the Imperial Shturmoviki, however, as they ruthlessly exterminate anyone that is not russian, and only "pure" russians are allowed to join (by "pure" I mean anyone who is ethnically russian AND is rabidly loyal to Taboritsky) The shturmoviki are basically more or less Taboritsky's equivalent to Himmler's Burgundian SS. However, unlike Himmler's SS, the Shturmoviki make widespread use of chemical weapons such as mustard gas, chlorine, white phosphorus and the worst of them all, Taborite (Taborite being the most powerful chemical weapon the HRE can offer, although it's a toxic gas, it behaves similarly to acid, as it violently melts organic matter into a disgusting slop of flesh, entrails and viscera, which bypasses most forms of protection and defense against chemical attacks) Although Taboritsky is considered by many as the worst russian warlord to reunify Russia, there is one man who makes Taboritsky look like a pacifist by comparison: Yuri Evtukhovich. In the lore, he is a top commander of Taboritsky's shturmoviki, and the leader of the warlord state known as the "Ural Purification Zone". This man is without a doubt the absolute worst to reunify Russia, as Taboritsky, although insane and monstrous too, atleast had actual goals and believed that bringing back the Romanovs would make Russia great (and as we know, yes they did have their flaws but a Romanov-ruled Russia is MAGNITUDES BETTER than Tabby's hellscape) Evtukhovich, however? He does not have any plan when it comes to establishing a functioning nation unlike Taboritsky. The lore states that the only thing Yuri wants is to cleanse and purify Russia of the Regent's enemies for the very sake of cleasning and purifying Russia of the Regent's enemies. He is 10 times more paranoid than Sergey, by the way. In one super event, Evtukhovich personally executes one of his best officers just because he asked for more orders, to which Yuri replied: "HOW DARE YOU?! THE REGENT'S ORDER STILL STANDS!" (the last order the Regent gave to Yuri is to cleanse the empire's enemies) Upon re-uniting Russia, Yuri establishes the "Purity Order of Holy Russia" (in old lore, it was simply "Russian Purification Zone"). Do with that piece of information as you please.
What makes me wonder is, under Evtukhovich, would the already battered and beaten remains of Russia simply go through another Taboritsky-type reign until there’s simply nobody left to subjugate? I mean, judging from events like the Last Shift, I feel like this guy is so extreme and so hell bent and fuelled by purification and cleansing that - once there’s no more “unpure” peasants and civilians to exterminate, he would probably start turning on everyone around him, stormtrooper to stormtrooper to keep the reign going, like how certain sharks have to keep swimming to breathe, and will die if they stop. Shit is grimdark to the max, an entire country eating away at itself again until there’s nothing
I see the HRE and taboritsky as a play on diffrent religious/political movements that arose as a response to oppression (The the NOI in america) The black league is also related to this.
Did you know that Sergey Taboritsky & Alexei Nikolaevich,Tsarevich of Russia shared their same birthday of August 12(albeit different years when they were born)
First time I played Taboritsky was kind of harrowing. I had the skills to mechanically unite Russia, but being forced to watch all my efforts collapse with no way to stop it was probably the most immersive experience I've had yet. Watching the funny clock man go from crazy larper into a psychotic mess was some of the most interesting content I've experienced. The only comparible scenario was Omsk, as the Great Trial feels like the most canonical ending to TNO. Given that Goering wins the Civil War and manages to achieve Fall Rot, but I've yet to have that happen without the Goering submod. Fun video, very nostalgic
Some guy said that he was able to win the race against clock. Taboritsky will always die right before the Fall Rot from stroke. Your only hope to preserve the empire is to have that Polish Guy convicted Sergey that he is Alexi.
Amazing video, dude! I expected worse for such a small channel, but the editing and narration were surprisingly good. At one point I thought I was watching a top-tier video essay. Continue with the great work!
TNO is one of my favorite pieces of fiction because of how fascinating some of the dystopias in it are to me, its so unbelievably interesting to read the events while playing that I dont even mind if there's not much actual "gameplay"
Love this video. A lot of TNO Scenarios work really well as horror stories, like Russia's Midnight, the African Devastation, Order 44, etc. I feel it really captures what horrors a timeline that an Axis victory could lead to and what type of ideologies and methods would be normalized.
This Channel Has a lot of promise. You should cover more Path from HoI4 mods and more HoI4 mods overall. Like Equestria At War and it being suprisingly so good, Old World Blues, KaiserReich, KaiserRedux, Red Flood, Pax Brittanica, Fuhrerreich, The Sun Shining on the World... It Has so much potential. And without talking about other TNO paths, especially Guangdong.
@@Triple_Alliance Honestly TNO's Taboritsky works better for the story. If Taboritsky was like his irl self the story would not flow as well, in fact it would probably be worse.
@@Triple_Allianceto be honest taboritsky was a NatSoc AntiSemite Monarchist… so not really much worse than TNO (especially the part where he develops BurgSys)
him saying "hides from the god he wanted to appease" syncing up with the music at 12:31 is honestly fire whether or not its intentional got damn that kinda caught me off guard with how smooth that was
When he was explaining the clock mechanic as soon as the music started playing it gave me goosebumps bro, because i listened to the song not knowing what it was about until i found this video so when the music started playing it all started making sense, when i realized i felt my soul leaving my body for a moment
I think you are the only guy that essentially explained Taboritsky's Russia to a person that still struggled to understand his shtick. And I want to thank you for that. Im not even gonna lie, in the beginning I thought that "the clock" wasn't representative of Tabby's state of mind deteriorating and Russia's situation but I thought that jt was the nuclear clock
Awesome video! I haven't been active in the TNO scene recently but it's awesome to see this mod and it's writers are getting the recognition they deserve.
damn man a friend of mine was intesreted in fascim and he played vanilla hoi4 then went oto mods his first mod was TNO and oh boy after 1 week of plating it he regret playing it his now in a state of depression now and fr this mod is so creepy from its dark and 80s pc style graphix to the wild lore
If you ever consider making another TNO video I suggest either Yazov or Heydrich's story, they are next to Taboritsky in the quality of writing. They are TNO at its best.
This video including your editing was amazing and pretty based considering you decided to talk about HOI4 TNO. If you wanted to cover more stuff like this I HEAVILY recommend you talk about another Russian Overlord named Dimitry Yazov. His motives and the story that carries out around him is just as unique and horrifying as Taboritsky. The Great Trial Awaits...
Please do more on TNO and other HOI4 mods, nobody else seems to do so. This is one of the best videos I've seen in a long while. EDIT: Can you do Abaddon's reign of terror next? Or perhaps the horrors of Burgundy?
9:54 I like that you used the clock from the original Soviet animation on which the Holy Russian empire’s Anthem was based of off. ( by the way only the first five-ten second of the song were used at the start of the HRE anthem) I’ll put the links of both videos so that you can all compare for yourself: HRE Anthem “Verify your clock”: ruclips.net/video/6_S0FvhNZdY/видео.htmlsi=mNBgCUkqzv9ZSnYv 1963 Soviet Cartoon “Verify your clock” w/english subtitles: ruclips.net/video/4W91a5SGpq8/видео.htmlsi=H8isPmi_Aooq_dLG
Not Japan dropped the bomb on pearl harbour, but Germany. With long ranged bombers. Also irl the Tzar family was not killed by Lenins orders, also "not likely". Lenin wanted to stage an open trial of the Tsar, as we know because of letters. Therefore it is NOT even likely AT ALL.
And how would such an open process end, I wonder?🤔 They wouldn't let Nikolai escape alive. And even if Lenin did not give the direct order to execute the royal family, he still did not condemn this event after it happened. This is essentially an admission that if he actually had control over the situation, he would have acted the same way.
@@BlackHundredKnight-Z Of course Niholai would be sentenced to death, but by court and civilized. For his desertion of the army alone. There was death sentence for deserters. But his family would probably survive. But they would not be nobility any longer.
Some incorrect assumption 1. Stalin wasn't killed but in hideout and later he became the leader of the siberian peopels republic 2. Japan did not nuke pearl harbour but a german plane did so basiclay its germany
Did you make the animation at 12:00 or is it in the game? It's very creepy and well done. I've never played TNO, but the lore of The Holy Russian Empire is really interesting.
This HoI4 mod really makes me appreciate the current timeline we live in. Of course our world is objectively a pretty "horrible" place, and world peace is something most of us will only dream about for centuries to come - (Not even accounting all of the horrendous acts both historically and currently ongoing.) - but even so, there is always a time & a place where everything could be so, SO much worse. If the allies had not have won the war, then we couldv'e been somewhere far darker. Possibly darker than anything Taboritsky, Hilter, and all similar combined could ever imagine. In short, we live in a relatively good place right now. Cherish that.
Can someone explain to me please how did Taboritsky really die? Did he have a nightmare and just die all of sudden screaming? Or was it a cardiac arrest?

Pyotr: “His Holy Empire?”
Taboritsky: “Don’t make me kill you.”
Pyotr: “Sergey, my allegiance is to God, TO THE MOTHERLAND!”
@@Higher-Ground Taboritsky: "If you're not with me, then you are of the devil."
@@redblaze8700
Pyotr: “Only the insane would continue with this regime. I will leave as I must.”
Cool. Can you make a video on Burgundy next?
Bro went from talking about kid shows to talking about TNO
Such an amazing format and editing style
Least insane russian alternate history scenario
Taboritsky wakes up and realized USSR didn't collapsed till 1991⁴
Can't wait for you to tell the lore of Burgundy! 💀
evil belgium type beat
@@jJJjJ725 ???
This is probably the best hoi4 video I have ever seen
damn man a friend of mine was intesreted in fascim and he played vanilla hoi4 then went oto mods his first mod was TNO and oh boy after 1 week of plating it he regret playing it his now in a state of depression now and fr this mod is so creepy from its dark and 80s pc style graphix to the wild lore
Wish I had this vid for my Holy Russian Empire phase amazing
If you ever consider making another TNO video I suggest either Yazov or Heydrich's story, they are next to Taboritsky in the quality of writing. They are TNO at its best.
HOI4 can't be scary!
HOI4:
This is an amazing video! Great job!
Finally a video i can show people so i dont have to explain the lore myself 😅
The videos example: ☭🫡☭
The lore:☠☠☠
Daaamn not even a Hoi4 channel. Great Job man!
There are like 20 nightmare scenarios in this timeline.
20 is an understatement
Massive understatement@@raidang
Masive understatement@@raidang
Don’t remove the L from Clocks, worst mistake of my life
Taboritsky is basically the Russian equivalent to Pol Pot
Time Doctor Freeman.
I can confirm that this is just a usual man in Syktyvkar
Meanwhile Abaddon, preparing for round 2 of scourge, horror and nightmare in Omsk
It would be cool if you made more TNO video essays like this but also some like kaiserreich. Good vid
Top tier video could you possibly do one about the Siberian black army or direlwanger brigade
This video including your editing was amazing and pretty based considering you decided to talk about HOI4 TNO. If you wanted to cover more stuff like this I HEAVILY recommend you talk about another Russian Overlord named Dimitry Yazov. His motives and the story that carries out around him is just as unique and horrifying as Taboritsky.
The Great Trial Awaits...
Please make more videos about TNO (and maybe even other hoi4 mods) in this style. Best TNO content I've ever saw!
That's it, your breathing privileges are being revoked
Please do more on TNO and other HOI4 mods, nobody else seems to do so.
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a long while.
EDIT: Can you do Abaddon's reign of terror next? Or perhaps the horrors of Burgundy?
This is some crazy detailed historical fiction. Noice.
9:54 I like that you used the clock from the original Soviet animation on which the Holy Russian empire’s Anthem was based of off. ( by the way only the first five-ten second of the song were used at the start of the HRE anthem)
I’ll put the links of both videos so that you can all compare for yourself:
HRE Anthem “Verify your clock”: ruclips.net/video/6_S0FvhNZdY/видео.htmlsi=mNBgCUkqzv9ZSnYv
1963 Soviet Cartoon “Verify your clock” w/english subtitles: ruclips.net/video/4W91a5SGpq8/видео.htmlsi=H8isPmi_Aooq_dLG
Great video!
He's somehow a strange combination of every Far Cry villain.
All these mods are fucked up as hell and the fact that people have the imagination to create a mod in detail kind of scares me
Sablin and shukshin are wholesome and from tno
Not Japan dropped the bomb on pearl harbour, but Germany. With long ranged bombers. Also irl the Tzar family was not killed by Lenins orders, also "not likely". Lenin wanted to stage an open trial of the Tsar, as we know because of letters. Therefore it is NOT even likely AT ALL.
COMMIE
@@Yazovheimer Yankee go play NPP
And how would such an open process end, I wonder?🤔 They wouldn't let Nikolai escape alive.
And even if Lenin did not give the direct order to execute the royal family, he still did not condemn this event after it happened. This is essentially an admission that if he actually had control over the situation, he would have acted the same way.
@@BlackHundredKnight-Z Of course Niholai would be sentenced to death, but by court and civilized. For his desertion of the army alone. There was death sentence for deserters.
But his family would probably survive. But they would not be nobility any longer.
Polish Aleksei 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
13: 20 Massage from Ferdinand I
Translation: Let justice be done, and the world perish (translating latin to english)
Some incorrect assumption
1. Stalin wasn't killed but in hideout and later he became the leader of the siberian peopels republic
2. Japan did not nuke pearl harbour but a german plane did so basiclay its germany
Did you make the animation at 12:00 or is it in the game? It's very creepy and well done. I've never played TNO, but the lore of The Holy Russian Empire is really interesting.
when i first watched this at the start i legit thought this was a real event before you mentioned it was a hoi4 mod
Alexei Lives!
HE IS COMING
DONT LET IT REACH MIDNIGHT
Taboritsky’s path is and has been the only thing in HOI4 that ever made me shudder. I have over 1,000 hours in the game.
thank god i watched this during the day
This HoI4 mod really makes me appreciate the current timeline we live in. Of course our world is objectively a pretty "horrible" place, and world peace is something most of us will only dream about for centuries to come - (Not even accounting all of the horrendous acts both historically and currently ongoing.) - but even so, there is always a time & a place where everything could be so, SO much worse. If the allies had not have won the war, then we couldv'e been somewhere far darker. Possibly darker than anything Taboritsky, Hilter, and all similar combined could ever imagine.
In short, we live in a relatively good place right now. Cherish that.
This has a video essay about it.
This got me the same feeling like Skibidi Toilet movie being anouced as real
Alexei lives.
Can someone explain to me please how did Taboritsky really die?
Did he have a nightmare and just die all of sudden screaming?
Or was it a cardiac arrest?
The clockwork is a representative of taboritskys insanity and midnight is the pinnacle of it
Wow this gave me so much anxiety dude
I’m not sleeping tonight
The Russian Pol Pot
Says "Russia" Shows flag of the USSR while hovering over Florida....DA TAVORISCH!
I like the presentation you did nice job
It has been so long that someone makes a video about Sergey Tabby
And also, the video is very detailed, hope you will make more TNO videos like this
We NEED brugundy video
Amazing video!!!
Please make more videos about TNO's lore, especially about Burgundy and others Russia's walords.
mods for other games: we added [insert video game character here] to [other game]!!!!
mods for hoi4: 9:25
Earned a new subscriber also you should do also brugundy
Imagine surviving taboritsky's regime only to live under abaddon's
Fire video about a wild mod I only just started playing
Holy crap at 12:00 - 13:25 min it was the 1st time I was. Scared in years probroly I was in my dark room
