Slovograd, Republic of Mordvania | Marth, 1591
The decisive and tense 1590 presidential election ended with the victory of former Foreign Minister Aljaz Martelj, the candidate of the Mordvanian Republican Party, defeating the left-wing candidate Vladislav Kozina in the final run-off. The election was followed by a period of apathy and relative paralysis, as Martelj surprisingly fulfilled his electoral promise not to call snap elections "without a justified reason", and his year in office was marked by a period of cohabitation between the center-right president and a left-wing parliament. This exasperated many Martelj's supporters, but the relation between the president and the President of the Republican Council Vladislav Kozina became highly heated in the following months as President Martelj blocked many laws passed by the parliament exercising his right to veto.
The left had an already poor result in the Alvan 1591 Voyvode election. One month later, this was confirmed as the left-wing parties lost their majority in the parliamentary elections. Martelj's Mordvanian Republican Party was the most voted party but it obtained a poor result than expected, while the centrist Centre Democratic Party ending surprisingly close. Kozina's left-wing Lavika Party obtained their worst result to the date, down from 34.8% to 14.1%, while the Bunesgan nationalists were able to come back to the national parliament as it was a far-right party for first time since 1573.
It was unclear which kind of government was going to be formed -either a Mordvanian Republican Party-minority government, a MRP-Centre Democratic Party coalition, or even a centrist All-Republican coalition- but an important shift on domestic policies was expected.
Not exactly a strange in Mordvanian politics, Miroslaw Wolinsky entered for first time into the Assembly of Representatives in Slovograd as an elected politician. He had officially visited the building many times in the past, but certainly this was a new role for him, as it was the last electoral campaign as Mordvanian Republican Party candidate - although he had only a minor role during the campaign. Wolinsky was considered the founder of the MERSEK, the Mordvanian military intelligence, being its chairman for ten years. From 1581 to 1586, he was appointed ambassador to Khibland. His inclusion as candidate for the center-right Mordvanian Republican Party was surprising, although he was not expected to play a minor role in the parliament. It was rumoured he was likely to be appointed as Minister of Defense in Martelj's administration, although such decision was not confirmed by either President Martelj or MRP leadership.
As he crossed the parliament halls, Wolinsky suddenly saw a strangely familiar face. After a few seconds, he was able to recognize that changed but resembling face. It was not other than Bogdan Paharc, who he had not seen in more than twenty years. Paharc had belonged to Wolinsky's inner circle during the Mordvanian civil war. However, the revolutionary years radicalized him, and Paharc would join the far-left Communist Party of Mordvania. As the Communist Party was banned in the early 1570s, accused of foreign funding, Paharc left the country. It was said that Paharc was living in Severyane and Kyrzbekistan.
Paharc did not returned until 1584, three years after the Mordvanian Communist Party was allowed to register as a legal political party. That year, the Mordvanian Communist Party agreed to join a left-wing electoral coalition with Zvezdana Serebryak's United Progressive Socialist Party and other left-wing political party, until its disolution in 1587, in which they merged forming the Lavika Party. Paharc, however, did not become politically active until 1588, when he served as advisor to President Zvezdana Serebryak, allegedly on national security. As Wolinsky, he entered for first time to the Mordvanian parliament.
"It has been certainly a long time", Wolinsky said.
"Indeed, Citizen Wolinsky", Paharc replied, using the etiquette of the early republican years, now considered outdated and rarely used, after a long silence.
"You wouldn't believe the stories I heard about you", Wolinsky said. "How is Darija?".
"Yes, I can imagine. I guess I could say the same", Paharc answered. "Darija is fine. She is increasingly tired but pleased, as most of us".
"Of course", Wolinsky replied. "I need to leave now. I may see you later".
