but aren't they wildly anti-communist/soviet?
Yes, but War Bears

This shit just slaps.
Yup. Playing Red Alert 2 i always liked the Soviets more than the Americans even as a child when i had no clue what politics even were. Destroying the Pentagon was my favorite mission.
The tanks running over the "welcome to Texas" sign is just
I mean yes and no. In the first game it turns out the Soviets were infiltrated by the Brotherhood of Nod who actually started WW2 by convincing Stalin to invade Europe.

Lol what do you want from a camp ass game from the 90s and 2000s? I pointed that out because its absolutely absurd. The whole game is wacko gonzo nonsense. Its supposed to evoke B movie type camp. Its over acted and under written. The gameplay is fun. The music rips.
Oh I was joking, your description sounds awesome
Ha! My bad, it is a wild set of games.
Soviet theme is so good that it doesn't matter
