The Soviet Union in Red Alert is a formidable power, driven by a vision of expanding its influence and spreading communism across the globe. Led by iconic figures like Joseph Stalin in the earlier games and other ruthless leaders in later installments, the Soviet faction is depicted as aggressive and uncompromising, willing to use any means necessary to achieve its goals. Their ideology is rooted in the belief that the world must be unified under Soviet rule, and they see the Allies as a major obstacle to their plans.
