The Ark
Story Timeline
This is the story timeline that I have worked out. It stems from my assumption that Dragonball's Red Ribbon Army saga took place in Russia during the collapse of Soviet Communism, and that the Red Ribbon Army itself was formed by Communists that had become embittered by the political changes around them or simply wanted to seize power before the incoming democracy could assert itself. Dragonball was produced during the late 1980s, the very time in which Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev instituted his perestroika reforms and dissolved the U.S.S.R.
