["Greetings, Russia!\n\nWe don't have too much to discuss early on, but I was curious on whether or not you were planning to move A Moscow - St Petersburg, where you could make a play for Norway.\n\nAnd likewise, was curious whether you planned to order F Sevestapol - Black Sea, or else allow Turkey to occupy it.\n\nIt's early, but we might have room to cooperate against England or Germany in the future. Let's keep in touch. Good luck.", "I'd be very interested in organizing a group effort against Britain right now. I likely won't move to Saint Petersburg the first turn in case the Germans try something but I'm definitely bouncing in the Black sea.", "Understood, what's your plan then? \n\nYou might consider Moscow to Livonia, which would still improve your situation in the north (since you could convoy to Sweden and then build in StP), while also helping to cover Warsaw.\n\nOr else you could just commit both of your armies to the south.", "I've spoken with the Germans, and a group effort against the British is likely. I'm still considering various ways to secure my position better, but I think keeping one army put in Moscow offers the best stability for the time being; If the Germans are telling the truth it will likely move to secure a spot in Finland in the second year.", "I would advise against staying put. Both Ukraine and Livonia can defend 3/4 of your centers. St Petersburg  can't be attacked year 1 and the risk to Sevestapol is nominal in year 1, since even if he goes all out you bounce him out of Black Sea and he can only make an unsupported attempt from Armenia"]
Going to Livonia is just as good for defending against Germany but gives you more options in the North
