After a bloody two year conflict and with minimal gains for either side, Yuri IV was assassinated by criminal elements on January 30, 1888 and eastern Volkia became the Vozhdom of the Tolpas. Seeing an opportunity to end the war, a peace treaty was signed between the parliament and the Vozhdom with the understanding that the east would become an independent state from Volkia. This caused further popular unrest as Volkia lost a significant amount of territory, however the reaction was mostly kept to nonviolent protests. Following the end of the war, a constitution was written and presented to voters in a referendum: 73.62% of voters approved abolishing the Volkian monarchy and 67.82% approved of the new constitution. It was ratified on April 17, 1888 and created the Volkian Federative Republic.
The abolition of the monarchy created tension between those in favor of the new federal government and those who wished to bring back the monarchy. Monarchists began reorganizing militias and political organizations in order to further support for the return of the monarchy. Some organizations supported bringing back the Kamenev dynasty, while others supported crowning a new dynasty. The first Kamenevite revolt happened August
Monarchist groups grew quiet over the next several years as they rebuilt and continued to recruit in secret following the failures of the two decades prior. The Kamenevites, a monarchist group dedicated to restoring the Kamenev dynasty, decided to resume attacks on federal supplies to take them for themselves.
