You may be able to tell from my avatar that Yuri's army is my favorite faction in the Red Alert series, so I decided to deticate an entire thread to the mysterious servants of the madman Yuri. Anything related to Yuri or his army is relevent here. Any questions are welcome too, and I have some myself:
1. Why does Yuri keep his Soviet uniform with the hammer and sickle on the collar after going rogue?
That question I may also tie-in with his motives/loyalties, because Yuri's comment on Capitalists in the cutscene for "Hollywood and Vain" and when he tells the soviet general in the London mission about the USSR becoming a "Tiny little province in an American empire" kind of infers that he still holds some soviet ideals in my eyes, and is actually doing things himself because incompitant Romanov and the post-Stalin Soviet Union can't.
2. About when did Yuri start work on his actual army, and from where did he recruit it's members? The army seemed to already be at good strength by the time the Alcatraz psychic dominator was destroyed by time travellers, and it's members don't seem to be primarily of Russian descent either, based on accents.
3. Where did Yuri's army get the designs for all of their equipment from? Anything psychic I'm sure was designed by Yuri himself, but the more basic things like conventional tanks may be from elsewhere, as I faintly remember something about Yuri "persuading" black market sellers to hand over blueprints, and something about the lasher tank originating as a soviet attempt to make a light tank. This may or may not be accurate though.
