After the 1960 Great Valley Offensive, Soviets had began creating their own government inside of Sacramento. Under this government, which was named in 1961, Californian Soviet, which controlled all production and political activity inside the former state of California, was extremely militant against religion and the former identity of Americans. The Californian Communist Party issued new books too school children in 1962 which taught exclusively that America was founded on the ideal of slavery and greed. Pictures of the founding fathers which showed them whipping their slaves was very popular in the text books. On May 4th, Zachary Birnen's fourteen year old son, sat at the dinner table and explained to his father that America was a slave nation, and asked if his father was a slave. When Birnen tried to explain to his son that he was a free human being, his son returned in an angry response.

Birnen's son returned to the school the next day, where he told his teacher, one of the exclusive immigrants form Russia, that his father had lied to him. In this, telling the children that the Soviet state was wrong, was seen as a traitorous act, the teacher wrote of the situation. On May 8th, agents of the state came to the Birnen house, where they extracted the child from home, Birnen refusing to let his son go was brutally beaten in front of the neighborhood by two Soviet soldiers. Four friends of Birnen intervened and attacked the soldiers, taking their guns and killing them. Birnen, knowing what the punishment was for killing Soviet Soldiers, took the four men into the wildness. Total of 34 residents fled with Birnen, including women and children. Birnen and the four men, as well with their sons, began leading leading guerrilla warfare and lead a secret network of information across the Sacramento area. Birnen speaking to a group at the camp in 1965, the night before the launching of the Helvetian Uprising of 1965 proclaimed, "They may have taken my only son from my arms, but in return they will give me a million. We will build a nation of the free, a nation for Helvetians."
