Kyric Village

About
Kyric Village (aka. Кирик Село) was a village in the southwestern regions of Kraston State, located between the Crimsonian-Greek border. In the 1950s, due to agricultural reforms, Kyric Village was forced to abandon the agricultural industry, leaving fields to become spaces for industrial areas of the city. Kyric Village was a bustling village, mainly due to its location being close to the Greek border. In the 1970s, after the Greco-Crimsonian War, Kyric Village became known as one of the hotspots for the Greek insurgency in Crimsonia, and Kyric Village became infamous for the incident which had occurred in the year of 1988. It was abandoned the following year, and in the year of 2016, it was demolished afterwards due to concerns regarding contamination, in which Kyric Village was no more.

History
The history of Kyric Village dated back centuries to the Beylik era, when Kyric Village was constructed somewhere in the 1800s beside a river. In the 1910s, Kyric Village was under the rule of Crimmitonia, and a railway was extended to the village, although it was barely used by anyone. In the 1930s, the Kyric Village Brewery was constructed and opened the following year. During the Second Great War, Kyric Village was damaged, as most of the houses had either been burned down or destroyed by shelling.

1950s
Due to agricultural reforms made by the Crimsonian government in the 1950s, most of the farmers in Kyric Village had to give up their excessive amounts of agricultural land, and the village was forced to shift from depending on the agricultural industry into something else. Because of this, it had left over huge chunks of land which gave more space for Kyric Village to expand, and industrial factories were constructed in the area, including a nuclear power plant which was built with the help of laborers. As a result of increase demands for housing in the area, due to a sudden population boom in the village, over hundreds of wooden houses were constructed instead of constructing apartments. During this year, the Kraibrezhen Hotel was constructed and opened.

Greek insurgency
In the late 70s after the Greco-Crimsonian War, a Greek insurgency occurred in the Greco-Crimsonian border, as retaliation for the Greco-Crimsonian War. Later on over the years, Greek insurgency groups later on moved some of their operations to the areas surrounding Kyric Village, constructing underground strongholds near the village, as a result of this, Crimsonian troops were deployed to the southern regions, and in 1988, a terrorist attack occurred near the Kyric Village Police Station, and in the aftermath, more Crimsonian troops were deployed to the area, and restrictions on the border tightened even more.

Kyric Village Incident
Prior to the beginning of the Kyric Village Incident, Crimsonian troops were deployed to the area in response to a terrorist attack which occurred near the Kyric Village Police Station, in which the bomb attack had been linked to Greek insurgency groups, and Kyric Village was placed under strict curfews. Weeks came, and the situation escalated even further when another bomb attack occurred within the Kyric Village Police Station. After Crimsonian troops were alerted by the attack, Greek rebels, along with several local collaborators, launched a surprise attack, and took over the village immediately and secured their surroundings. Eventually, Kyric Village was under the complete control by Greek rebels, and the Free Crimsonian Republic was established, eventually, Crimsonia responded to the takeover by immediately storming and seizing the nuclear power plant in Kyric Village, and shut down all power and water directing to the village. The following day, Crimsonia eventually began bombardment of the village. Then, catastrophe struck, in which artillery had accidentally bombed one of the reactors within the nuclear power plants, resulting in a reaction in which nearly all of them had exploded, causing massive amounts of radiation to spread across the village, making dozens of locals sick.

In the aftermath of the nuclear reactor explosion, some of the Greek rebels and locals gradually weakened due to radiation poisoning, and then eventually they began dying one by one, then, Crimsonian troops proceeded to storm and captured Kyric Village in only a minute, unfortunately, it was too late, as the radiation began spreading into Kyric Village, and just in a short matter of time, Crimsonian troops suffered the same fate as those in the village, and the majority of Kyric Village's population eventually died. Those who survived were admitted to the nearby hospital, and all of them were dead. The Crimsonian government ordered an evacuation 2 days after the nuclear power plant exploded, and only 12 survived. The Crimsonian government made attempts to cover the damage, but it was too late, as the Commonwealth of United and Free Nations demanded answers of the incident, after countries reported massive radiation clouds.

Aftermath
In the aftermath, Kyric Village was abandoned shortly after the incident. Because of the massive contamination, the Crimsonian government made attempts to get rid of the radiation from the village, such as demolishing several houses and burying most of the concrete buildings such as the Kyric Village Hospital. Efforts were made, and half of the village was cleared of radiation. Despite this, Kyric Village was still abandoned, and in 1998, the government had restricted those from entering the village out of health concerns. Signs leading to the village were erased from nearby roads, and most of the village was overgrown with plants.

In 2016, after Kyric Village became infamous once again, Bulgarian authorities began taking action on Kyric Village once again. They proceeded to demolish some of the remaining wooden houses, including buildings such as the Kyric Village Hospital, the prison, the police station and the Kraibrezhen Hotel. In the aftermath of the demolition, only a few structures remain, such as Crimsonian-era statues, left abandoned as a relic.
