Petrovice is a settlement located in the Independent Republic of Nogova.
Overview[]
The industrial centre of the Nogovan republic, Petrovice is a thriving city that features a mix of tall residential buildings and small houses scattered around the city. Agricultural farms are similarly scattered along the outskirts of the city limits.[1]
The city is connected by three main roads. The northern road leads to the town of Mírov while the east leads to the village of Slapy. Finally, the southern road is connected to the town of Vidlákov. When the city was temporarily occupied at the height of the Soviet occupation of Nogova, defensive fortifications consisting of sandbag walls and razorwire tank traps were established on the eastern and southern roads.
History[]
Soviet fortifications, eastern side (Late 1982)
On August 21st, 1982[2], a Soviet military force led by Colonel Aleksei Guba seized and forcibly occupied the city as they sought to restore "order" to the nation.[3]
The city would remain under Soviet control until September 24th[2], when a large force of partisans led by Victor Troska finally succeeded in liberating the city[4] - albeit at heavy cost to the partisans.[5]
Facilities[]
Communications centre[]
At the height of the occupation, Petrovice's Soviet garrison had established a communications centre in the city. It was destroyed by partisan fighters in the opening stages of their attack on the city.[6]

The Communist party leaders have turned their backs on our consitution and all the principles of our democracy. They have betrayed our nation to the Communist leaders of the Soviet Union. A large number of Soviet troops from Kolguyev have landed on our island. We can't stop them – our militia forces are ineffective. Accordingly, I have ordered all our units to surrender and lay down their weapons. I ask you all not to provoke the Soviet soldiers, to avoid uneccessary violence. Return to your homes and, for your own security, remain there. I have requested the international community to take action against this occupation, this act of unprecedented aggresion against our sovereign state. Dear fellow citizens, help each other in this testing time for our nation. The truth will win out."
