The Ignatovist Red Wave, also known simply as the Red Wave, was a series of inter-linked risings across Anterra (but primarily within Artemia) relating to the at the time ongoing Veikan Civil War. As the Veikan Civil War was widely televised and reported on, the victories of the Veikan Communist Party early in the war and their eventual victory over royalist forces caused a ripple effect across leftist movements in Anterra. Through the 1970s several events happened either directly or indirectly linked to the Veikan Civil War such as an increase in general unrest from communists, acts of terrorism, insurgencies, revolutions and others. Although the effects of the Red Wave were mostly contained across the world and into the late 1970s as the Veikan Civil War came to an end, several major risings occurred through the period such as the XXX Civil War and major acts of terrorism in XXX which killed many civilians.

It's generally believed the Red Wave was caused due to already existing dissent within the general population of the nations affected, which was exacerbated with the victories of the People's Red Front in North Veikaia, which caused a large number of youths to join local communist organizations and even illegal terrorist organizations too. The victories of the PRF were seen by the dissenting population as proof that a victorious communist revolution was possible, and that a change in regime could be achieved in even the most autocratic of states.

In nations such as Alva, Teutonic spies used the opportunity to incite unrest among the nation's youth and either directly or indirectly incited many acts of terrorism against the at the time military government. While generally unsuccessful, with the government's position barely swayed and the amount of damage being relatively minor, many civilians and some government officials were killed.
