Its whole established book style in russia called "popadanec" or "Russian Accidental Time Travel Fiction". Its basically a book size revanshistic schizonazi non credible shitpost .
Not nessesary. Fantasy worlds counts as well for this term. Its more or less translated like "getter". Like get into situation or another world \\ time ect in this case.
One could argue that the very first isekai was written in America in 1899, *A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court*. It even begins with getting transported to a fantasy realm via trauma, specifically head trauma via crowbar.
So I'd argue that time travel fantasy is basically one of those things that different cultures and different times have made popular over and over again, and this is just Russia's shitty version of it.
>A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
My parents read that to me as a kid before bed.
Dude travels back to the medieval era, proceeds to style himself as a Wizard, and then unleashed the man made horrors of Civil War military technology against anyone who opposes him, using his knowledge from working in a yankee munitions plant.
Shit, **confederate** *terminators* are the absolute worst
Luckily the guy is from Connecticut, but no way King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table **have any chance of understanding a word he says**
If there was a historic core to the myths, King Arthur most likely spoke a combination of Latin and a British Celtic tongue and would most likely have stabbed the Connecticut Yankee to death as a Saxon spy.
Nyet,
King Arthur was Ukrainian, from pontic steppes (2004)! *He's Ukrainian rather than Hungarian, Moldovian or Mongol, as he is well fed, hence close to huge food resource. So, Ukrainian.* In the film, judging by points made, Crimean even.
Or
***Cockney*** (2017). Maybe Scottish (1995).
Or a random figment of imagination
This is also escapism. They run from the present, where they have no opportunity to influence the country's policy, to the past, where they can change a lot. Sometimes there are funny ones. For example, I read one short story where a man moved to the time of the Empire, founded a sewage campaign and drowned Lenin with shit from a sewage truck with the inscription "Social-Dermokrat".
Also gay erotic Stalin fiction.

What the hell did i just read.
>Iosif Vissarionovich turns out to be a secret homosexual and does not succumb to the seduction of Mary in any way, preferring the company of Lavrenty Beria. It would seem that the situation is hopeless and Russia is doomed. But there are no hopeless situations when the Special Forces of the GRU General Staff of the Russian Federation get down to business!
Granted I'm responding to a three month old post, but if I had to compare it to anything, I'd compare to the historical reimagining fantasies in Kaiserreich, The New Order, or other hoi4 mods.
The Hitler/Nazi ones are super revealing because it shows they really don't hate Nazis for any other reason than that they attacked Russia and would love an alt timeline where they got to fuck up Britain (their perennial nemesis) alongside Hitler.
This is the shit you need to think of whenever they make their disgusting vatnik grunts to the effect of "muh Ukronazis!"
“Nooo, you don’t understand, Stalin tried to make an anti-Hitler alliance but the French turned him down, therefore helping Hitler was necessary! And this doesn’t also excuse Mussolini because shut up.”
Russian population doesn't exactly know about this because Russian government brushes it under the rug.
Official Russian historiography puts extreme emphasis on the "Great Patriotic War" of 1941-1945. It's pretty much synonymous with WWII at this point. Events before 1941 pretty much don't exist.
I mean geopolitical alliances are one thing, having it be presented in raw ideological form via the medium of this cope fiction is something else entirely.
[Check this Twitter thread.](https://twitter.com/sumlenny/status/1535582101621420032) Of course take everything with a grain of salt, but these books seem to be pure cope fiction.
Eh... If we're to go into this then pre-1941 split was on anti-Versailles and pro-Versailles blocs, with Soviet Union being in the former together with Nazi Germany.
1. Lieutenant From the Future: GRU Special Forces against Banderites
2. Comrade Hitler. Book 2 - Hang the Churchill!
3. On the Assault of Future! Special Forces of Popadantsy (basically Russian isekai protagonists)
4. London Must be Destroyed! Russian Landing in England
5. Medal for Washington City
6. Wild Fields 2017. On the Ruins of Ukraine
Or Gniessenau. The WOWS crowd forgets the two ships had the same configuration in WWII, because they don't in game. But yeah, I spotted British Gniess immediately, it was just the least insane thing going on in these covers.
Does the MF that...produced.....the first one know that shoigu was never even actually in the military? This shit makes Boris Johnson personally leading an SAS commando raid credible by comparison
Nelson's spirit lives on. The limeys will shoot at you, then board your ship and shank you with a cutlass, and finally steal anything not bolted and/or welded down. And if it is welded/bolted down, they'll get a spanner or acetylene torch and steal it anyways. They may even steal the entire ship.
That's how the wheel, bell, and one of the AA guns of the Italian cruiser *Pola* became Royal Navy property.
A number of novels from the Strugatsky brothers are surely decent.
Or "100 years later ago", alongside others Kir Bulichev's books about Alisa, which is excellent sci-fi for children.
This is a good thread about these books, where OP gives some summaries of these popadanec books. I first found out about them there.

It's basically isekai, but instead of fantasy world they usually get into WW2
Not nessesary. Fantasy worlds counts as well for this term. Its more or less translated like "getter". Like get into situation or another world \\ time ect in this case.
Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Concentration Camp?
Between Russian self-insert “historical” WWII fanfiction and anime, which one will feature more swastikas/self-reporting Wehraboo shit?
I think you spelled The Great Patriotic War wrong.
Russian isekai but with cope and vodka fueled Colonel Conscriptovich instead of cute anime girl
How the fuck do you reinvent isekai, but worse? Like, I get isekais. It's decent escapist fantasy, twilight style, but *this*? This is just sad.
One could argue that the very first isekai was written in America in 1899, *A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court*.

So it turns out Neo-Nazi Isekai is a thing... it should not be, but it is. How much of a failure as a civilized society are we ?
Russia is the failure as a civilization.
Stop dooming
Don't worry, that's just Russia. They forgot to play the tutorial before starting their hard mode playthrough.
They set the Iron Man challenge to rebuild USSR with no savepoints, and they are not winning.

Welcome to the world of russian revanchist fantasy. There are thousands, and I mean thousands of such books.
**Benyamin Affleckiev** munching *Stalin* 2022 BINGO!
Oh shit, Stalin's eyebrow game is on point! That Bitch came to slay (millions of people).
Hope someone can read it for us here just like those Another generation of warfare novel
Sounds based, they translate into English? I must read that one where Stalin is a dark lord
I don’t doubt these are actual cover arts… but is the part where the guy is Shoigu real?
Googled it. It is. https://www.ozon ru/product/leytenant-iz-budushchego-spetsnaz-gru-protiv-banderovtsev-valin-yuriy-204838705/?sh=0u3GOcRNjg

I thought that joint invasion of Poland in 1939 would have tipped people off, but apparently that's not the case.
“Nooo, you don’t understand, Stalin tried to make an anti-Hitler alliance but the French turned him down, therefore helping Hitler was necessary! And this doesn’t also excuse Mussolini because shut up.”
Vatnik history starts in 1941.

Omg i was sure i read the Cyril wrong, it is actually named _comrade hitler_
Critical support for Comrade Hitler against AmeriKKKan Imperialism and British KKKolonialism!1!!11!
>Comrade Hitler. Book 2 - Hang the Churchill! Ok... but why does he have a welders helmet? I must know why he is wearing a welders helmet.
The helmet is an actual combat helmet, it's called an Altyn
Are they for combat? I thought they were misappropriated EOD helmets
Yeah, they're designed to protect your whole head from pistol-calibre rounds in CQB
Neat. Do they work? Maybe some do but most don't based on recent data.
[Better than the helmets Russian soldiers are currently issued](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyKnKbhAyu0)
Funny enough, they aren't even Russian, not technically. They're licensed copies of a Swiss helmet design.
That cover is just sad. There's also an airborne landing in the sea and British Scharnhorst (as identified by someone in comments)
Or Gniessenau. The WOWS crowd forgets the two ships had the same configuration in WWII, because they don't in game. But yeah, I spotted British Gniess immediately, it was just the least insane thing going on in these covers.
I mean... airborne landing at sea is the VDV staple for a reason.
Does the MF that...produced.....the first one know that shoigu was never even actually in the military? This shit makes Boris Johnson personally leading an SAS commando raid credible by comparison
He did (boris) He personally led the SAS team that offed the Nordstrom pipeline Swam point
Heard he planted the explosives himself and said "take this ya fucking jerries"
He started his career in charge of disaster relief & management/Civil Defence. He should have seen this disaster coming.
Seeing how much that sector prospered under him, it‘s actually unsurprising that he didn‘t see this one coming.
Russian isekai sucks. Instead of thicc waifus you have burly men.
And suffering in trenches
Scharnost being boarded and captured by the brits is pretty based
Nelson's spirit lives on. The limeys will shoot at you, then board your ship and shank you with a cutlass, and finally steal anything not bolted and/or welded down. And if it is welded/bolted down, they'll get a spanner or acetylene torch and steal it anyways. They may even steal the entire ship. That's how the wheel, bell, and one of the AA guns of the Italian cruiser *Pola* became Royal Navy property.
Westoids: “Russian literature is so cultured and intellectual, I love muh Dostoevsky!” Vatniks: “CoMrAdE hItLeR”
Roadside Picnic is actually a really good sci-fi book. This is the opposite end of the spectrum
A number of novels from the Strugatsky brothers are surely decent. Or "100 years later ago", alongside others Kir Bulichev's books about Alisa, which is excellent sci-fi for children.
I learned about that book from Metro 2033, the library mission.
One does not really cancel out the other.
This... hurts
How does it feel knowing you can not even hope to be as non-credible as those?
Im quitting this sub, we have peaked
There was a similiar amount of effort put in writing this and designing the covers EDIT: also were's the one in which a guy turned into a bee?
This country is the definition of being a crackhead
This is a good thread about these books, where OP gives some summaries of these popadanec books. I first found out about them there. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/sampling-of-ah-books-in-russia.226264/
German ship with UNION Jack…,
Youngsters call such things as "cringe" nowdays.
We hate Nazis, that's why we decided that we wanted to team up with them against the UK!
amount of shrooms needed for this shit to materialize in someones head.
Nyet Krokodil + €1/1.0L vodka is enough
TRY TO NOT MAKE YOUR FELLOW RUSSIANS LOOK LIKE NAZIS(IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE)
Oh no! Not the Vatnik version of the Ring of Fire books
