Andrey Dikiy, born Andrey Ivanovich Zankevich, is a minor antagonist in The New Order: Last Days of Europe, a mod of Hearts of Iron 4. He is a foreign minister of Komi under Sergey Taboritsky's reign.

He serves as a supporting character in Taborisky's storyline. In the After Midnight event, Dikiy serves as a side antagonist and a potential playable character of the event, after he betrays the Holy Russian Empire and becomes the leader of his own regime, known as the Regency of Holy Russia. He is also the archenemy of Michal Goleniewnsky, who declared himself as Alexei II and started a socialist version of the Russian Empire.

His Evil Ranking

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?

• Formerly being a member of Sergey Taborisky’s circle, Dikey rose in the ranks by gleefully assisting Taborisky into committing all kinds of atrocities the Holy Russian Empire had committed.
• Dikiy pretended to be loyal to the Mad Regent, but instead he was a power hungry and greedy worm who desired power for himself, seeking pleasure and power from assisting those war crimes. Unlike Taboritsky, Dikiy never genuinely believed in Alexei's survival.
• After Taborisky's demise, Dikiy immediately turned against the Holy Russian Empire when the time had arrived. He took over the Far East, particularly the land owned by Valery Sablin – Buryatia, while absorbing the remnants of Konstantin Rodzaevsky’s Russian Fascist Party under his own wings despite being far too vile for Rodzaevsky's circle.
• He backstabbed his former colleagues and rivals, before establishing his own faction, known as the so-called Regency of the Holy Russia.
• In order to justify his so-called right to succeed the Regent’s place, Dikiy fabricated a lie that he'd surrender his power and hand it over to the real Prince Alexei as soon as he returned. However, Dikiy knew perfectly well that Alexei would never return, and as such will sit on the Regent’s seat once and for all until his demise, marking his reign of terror a lifelong term.
• As time itself progressed, Dikey became more and more paranoid and unstable, often switching his moods between sobbing in despair and drenching himself into a delusional grandeur. However, this is not a prevention as he, unlike Taboritsky, is perfectly aware of what he was doing and only did it for his own sake.
• Another debased prevention was the nearly 50% of red part occupying his ideological pie chart beside his purple part (representing his own ideology of Imperial Cult, based on Esoteric Nazism). In fact, the socialism part was most likely not part of Dikey’s own faction (as he only absorbed the Russian Fascist Part’s remnants into his party), but Sablin’s remnants, who had been possibly fighting against him in secret. In reality, Dikiy had no leftist supporters, nor did he accept socialism nor Sablin's cause.
• After Goleniewski declared himself to be Alexei II in order to save Russian from chaos as a socialist monarch, Dikey immediately took actions to attack Goleniewski's forces, seeing the latter as a false Tsar. However, Goleniewski is a heroic character that only wants to save Russia (like Sablin did), whilst Dikiy himself is instead an out-and-out hypocrite who has attempted numerous times to wrestle power to hold for eternity.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?

• He suffers from Fridge Horror, as the extent of his implied paranoid purges, how much sadism he took in his acts, and whether he is actively repressing the enormous left wing part of his state. However, given his paranoia, sadism, and presence is Sablinite lands are major parts of his route, this is a minor prevention.

Trivia

• Dikiy, alongside Adolf Hitler, Trofim Lysenko, Sergey Taboritsky and Abaddon, is one of the five The New Order: Last Days of Europe to be Near Pure Evil.
  • Amusingly, he has connection (directly or indirectly) to all of the other NPEs except Hitler.
    • Dikiy and Abaddon (born Anatoly Motsny) were both minions of Taborisky before they betrayed him.
    • His archenemy "Alexei II" once served NKVD like Lysenko.
• Originally, Dikiy was planned to be the Esoteric Nazi candidate for Komi as the leader of an SS-inspired organization known sa the Sturmoviks, likely as a Slavic neo-pagan extremist. However, Sergey Taboritsky later became the Esoteric Nazi candidate for Komi, while Dikiy has become his minister and only takes power after Taborisky's death. Had Dikiy been kept as Komi's Esoteric Nazi candidate, it's likely his status would have been affected.
  • The Slavic neo-pagan path was later used as the basis for the ideology of Aryan Brotherhood specifically Valery Yemelyanov.
