Editing Russia (section)

==Parahuman Residents==
Capes in Russia are either military conscripts, spies/state-supported, or are fugitives of the state that are wily or powerful enough to establish themselves.<ref name="II12.5 eLandscape" /> Indeed, underground minority groups, organized crime families, and independent/covert agents exist.<ref>The raid and the recording of the execution line up with Russia's policies on Parahumans, and the longstanding warrant and execution writ against Rukavitsa.  Russia has long maintained a 'join us on our terms or be labeled a criminal of the highest order' policy, with parahumans being trained, organized into squads with unpowered individuals, and often set against one another (and even said to be sabotaged) if they gain too much notoriety.  On the other side, rebel parahumans within Russia have turned to the security offered by organized crime families, underground minority groups (including those fighting and arguably winning a steep uphill battle for LGBT rights in Russia), and independent, covert agents.  Red Gauntlet has worked with, supported, and been supported by all of these groups at various points, and there is expected to be nationwide backlash as news spreads. - [https://redd.it/hhkfn5 Rukavitsa, leader of Red Gauntlet, dies in nighttime Raid].
