Oleg Kozlov

Grand Marshal Oleg Kozlov or simply Marshal Kozlov was the de facto dictator of Osorra from 1922 to 1959. As a child he was moved from a noble Yarovan family to that of the Tsar, becoming his son. He grew resentful of his new family and would later go on to overthrow them in the October 13th Event. After a brief civil war, he would execute the Tsar and declare the People's State of Osorra. He declared himself "Grand Marshal" of the new state and centralized power around the Osorra Self-Rule Authority. He allied with the Mensheviks and would be the head of the Menshevik administration for the next 20 years,

Internally he began the campaign known as Sotsial'nyy Pod'yem, where the military would build vast amounts of infrastructure, industrialize the country, and educate large segments of the population. As part of Sotsial'nyy Pod'yem the country created a new economic policy, where the military would run most large enterprises while leaving the petite bourgeriose untouched. The government would create national plans, with the assistance of trade unions, scientists, managers, and officials. Kozlov was also extremely repressive, creating various secret police organs and purging officials at whim. Many leftists have criticized him for not fully expropriating the bourgeoise nor implementing the principles of worker self ownership. Many leftists see him as a corporatist and fascist, who instead of embracing class conflict embraced class collaboration. Still he is quite revered within Osorra by both leftist and rightist figures, who see him as a great modernizer who strengthened the nation.
