They nearly lost everything, they have been under disbanding conditions before and yet another time, they are conquering space and kicking ass. How is this possible? Many other alliances have conquered some space, then failed and faded into history of New Eden.
What's the secret behind this evil redness?

Quite simply, it is because Red Alliance is united by their community and their ideals in a way that few other alliances are. Many corporations and alliances find their way into the EVE universe, but never find a unique identity that sets them apart from the rest of the galaxy... when all is said and done, they're just another group of pilots trying to get by in EVE. When groups like that fall upon hard times, they often disintegrate and vanish without a trace.
Red Alliance, much like Goonswarm, is united by their identity, and it will take much more than being brought to hell's gate for them to relinquish it.
I would say that Band of Brothers also fell into that realm of alliance, united by their identity. The machinations of their enemies which played out caused them to lose their grasp on that identity, even though they themselves had not changed, and the result was a catastrophic collapse of morale, which could not bear to be paired with the catastrophic loss of their territory.
Red Alliance's identity remains secure. They will plant their roots once again, and regrow. Only when their community entirely loses sight of their identity will they truly be vulnerable. --

Having 10 people defend 20 systems = Kind of a stretch. Having 10 people defend 2 systems = Rather simple.
The smaller a large alliance/corporation pond gets, the bigger their respected size is towards the overall quantity of the pond.

There is no secret to them at all, russians are sorta like jews, if you are one of them then they will help you but if you are not ...
Anyway, point is russians always help each other so even though red alliance is only as big as it is, it has a ton of invisible allies and traitors that sit in other corps and alliances and relay information and provide occasional help. And ever expect to see a russian engage another russin because that just wont happen.

Russians have the same in-group us-vs-everyone mentality as do Goons. There is a certain hate for the westerners present, where the westerners are typically called "pendosi". Most Russians would not openly admit to it, but it is anchored deep down in the subconscious of many. How many times have I gone to Jita early morning only to read in local that all pendosi should suck ****. Why they should all of a sudden start sucking **** in Jita I do not quite understand because I am one of Russians who has spent considerable part of time living abroad. This hostility and patriotism is being promoted and harvested by the ex-Soviet oligarchical government of Russia as a way of population control, so it actually originates out-of-game, and the sad part of it is that they are trying to instill it on the school level (i.e. teaching it to teenagers). So it is not just the cultural similarities and the language-barrier, but they know if their empire falls who are they going to play with? The pendosi?
Besides that ... long dark winters, highly-educated population good portion of which is very very poor, ability to pay for the game with ISK rather than dollars, ability to sell some of that extra ISK for dollars, chance to escape the unpleasantness of real life and feel like you have control over something ... you see why EVE is so appealing to average Russian player.

Russians stick together, and they're tenacious.
They will **** your **** up, regardless how outnumbered they are, and they will keep coming back until they finish the job.
Don't **** with Russians.

Google up Operation Barbarrosa and the Battle of Stalingrad then you will glean some insights into Russian tenacity.

this thread, is full of stereotypes and crapp.
anyway as someone said RA '09 has nothing to do with RA '06, the biggest corps in old RA are now in other russian alliances (ROL, AAA, .404.).

Right. That's why XIX and RA are red to AAA and ROL.

I think another thing that works in their favour is the time zone they operate in. They're able to bring a lot of force to bear when more American time zone centric outfits are still in bed. With a little bit of organization, you have a big problem.
At least that's my take on it having had my arse handed to me by those damn Reds on various occasions.
