Kresimiria BRC-21

BRC-21

BRC-21 (Bosken Revalata Concela 1921) was a Bosken-Kresimirian guerrilla group, terrorist group, resistance front, and political organisation active from 1921 to 1961. The translation of the name is ‘Bosken Revolutionary Council’. Founded by Lev Ruka, the group’s primary objective was the independence of the Kresimirian district of Moraviskameja and its unification with neighboring Boskenmark. Though officially banned for its entire existence due to its militant activities, it exerted significant covert political influence in Moraviskameja. Following the 1961 Treaty of Brod Moravice, the group disarmed and rebranded itself as the Bosken Liberation Front, a legitimate political party. Several hardliners opposed to the treaty founded the Army of Free and Independent Moraviskameja, which continues a low-level insurgency today. Supporters of the group argue that it functioned as an informal resistance to the claimed Kresimirian occupation of the region.

History

BRC-21 was established in 1921 by the ethnic Bosken nationalist Lev Ruka in the immediate aftermath of the Kresimirian Unification War (1918-1921). Its formation was a direct response to the outcome of the war, which saw the Bosken-majority region of Moraviskameja incorporated into the newly formed Divine Republic of Kresimiria. Viewing the Kresimirian government as an illegitimate occupying force, the group adopted a militant stance from its inception. It employed guerrilla tactics, targeting state infrastructure and security personnel to pressure the central government in Sinj and advocate for the secession of Moraviskameja.

Dissolution and Rebranding

For four decades, BRC-21 continued its armed struggle and political agitation. The conflict came to a political turning point with the signing of the Treaty of Brod Moravice in 1961. A key provision of this treaty was the legalization of Bosken political parties within Kresimiria. Seizing this opportunity, BRC-21 agreed to lay down its arms, formally disbanding its militant wing. The organization immediately rebranded itself as the Bosken Liberation Front (BLF), transitioning from a clandestine guerrilla group to a legitimate political party.

Some members of BRC-21 opposed ceasefire negotiations, but these were a minority of the group. It was from a collection of these members led by Jochen Schoff that the Army of Free and Independent Moraviskameja was formed, a hardline anti-negotiation Bosken independence terrorist organisation.

Ideology

The ideology of BRC-21 was centered on the principles of Bosken irredentism and militant struggle. The group’s core political belief was that the district of Moraviskameja was rightfully Bosken territory, and its ultimate goal was to achieve the region’s secession from Kresimiria and unification with the neighboring Bosken Federation. To this end, BRC-21 espoused militarism as a necessary tool, maintaining that political violence and armed struggle were the only effective means to achieve its political aims. This commitment to a militant strategy defined the group’s operations until its eventual dissolution and rebranding in 1961.

Political Influence

Despite being an illegal organization, BRC-21 held considerable sway over politics in Moraviskameja. No Senators were ever officially members of the group. However, it was widely understood that it was nearly impossible for a candidate to be elected as one of the district’s two Senators without the covert support of BRC-21. This influence was extended to ethnic Bosken politicians such as Josipa Vukel. BRC-21 effectively operated as a powerful and unavoidable pressure group within the district.
