The old website has a somewhat good explenation as to why...

It is the year 1985. After Leonid Brezhnev's death in 1982, the Soviet Union went through two short-lived Premiers until Mikhail Gorbachev came along in 1985. As the new General Secretary of the Communist Party of Soviet Union, he represented a new wave in Soviet policy, and started a "glasnost" as he promoted "perestroika".
Immediately after the designation of Gorbachev as the leader of the country, a strong opposition was raised. Many people from the leading structures of the country refused the new government and massive chaos ensued. Army and security forces were paralyzed, and chaos reigned in the Soviet Union. After a few days, the central government managed to establish order in most of the country, but the situation in many places remained absolutely unclear. Many pockets of resistance against the new government had already been formed, and the central government lost real power in many regions of the sprawling country.
General Ivan Vasilii Guba, a leader of the Third Army located on an island called Kolgujev. It refused to serve the new central generality in Moscow. He firmly believes in the old communist ideas and wants to keep the old order in the country. He presently controls a well-equipped modern army. This situation is very dangerous due to the strategically important location of Kolgujev - it is located in an area composed of three islands: Kolgujev, St. Pierre, and Malden. Kolgujev is a part of the Soviet Union. St. Pierre has an independent republic on it, and Malden serves as a military base for NATO. And even worse: Guba controls some nuclear weapons. The new Soviet government is unable to do anything about this flash point at the moment. US president Ronald Reagan met the new Soviet leader, and the result is that international NATO force will help to keep the peace in the area. It is time for you to become a part of the history.
I am very curious as what kind of and how big is the NATO contingency is on Everon.
