Overview
Chronicles: Russia is set in early 20th-century Soviet Russia, in the aftermath of the October Revolution of 1917, and follows Nikolai Orelov, the protagonist of the comic book Assassin's Creed: The Fall and its graphic novel sequel, The Chain. In 1918, Nikolai contemplates retiring from the Assassin Brotherhood and leaving the country with his family, but agrees to perform one final mission: to recover the Precursor box, which is believed to be in possession of the Romanov family. On the night of 16 to 17 July, he travels to Yekaterinburg and infiltrates the house where former Tsar Nicholas II and his family are being held, only to witness their execution at the hands of Templar agents within the Red Army, who also seek the box.
Taking pity on Anastasia, Nikolai decides to take her back to the Brotherhood in the hope that they could help her. Pursued by both the Templars and the Bolsheviks, the two escape Yekaterinburg on a train headed to Kazan, arriving there in September, in the midst of the Red Army's attempt to retake the city. Nikolai leaves to find his old friend, Leon Trotsky, only to discover that the latter, believing Anastasia to be too dangerous as a symbol to be left alive, has allied with the Templars. Trotsky betrays Nikolai to the Templars, who torture him for the location of Anastasia and the Precursor box. Anastasia manages to rescue Nikolai, and together they escape Kazan by stealing a boat.
Nikolai and Anastasia arrive in Moscow, where the two are separated upon meeting the other Assassins, who take Anastasia away to experiment on her and find a possible cure for her condition. Nikolai is instructed to return to the Assassins' bureau to make a report about his mission, but overhears two Assassins talking about how Anastasia is now a living Precursor artifact and that they must extract Shao Jun's memories from her, likely killing her in the process. Caring for Anastasia and enraged by the Assassins' lies, Nikolai decides to betray the Brotherhood to save the girl.
