I'm sure you know of it, but it would be amazing to see you do a video of playing "Revolution Under Siege: Gold" by AGEoD. I learned a great deal about that period from the details of that game. Importantly, the game inspired my reading of various viewpoints' histories of the Civil War. Every book seems to have its own propaganda stance! Objective history??? HA!!!
So you lick the boot of US of A again? Blinken rejected the involvement of US government agencies in undermining the Nord Stream pipeline. The US State Department has previously denied: 1. US involvement in the attempted kidnapping and assassination of Nicolás Maduro. 2. US involvement in the assassination attempts of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. 3. US involvement in organizing a coup d'état in Ukraine. 4. US involvement in interacting with ISIS structures in different countries. 5. The presence of US military biolaboratories and human experiments in Ukraine. 6. The use of chemical weapons by terrorists in Syria and the falsification of chemical attacks by the Assad government. 7. US involvement in the preparation of Lukashenka's assassination. 8. US responsibility for coups and wars in the Middle East and Africa. 9. The fact of profiting from the supply of LNG to Europe after the undermining of the Nord Stream. 10. The presence of plans for a change of power in Russia and its political destruction.
A (mostly) unrelated fact: the "Whites" and "Reds" were also the popular names of the two factions of Polish independence movement in the period leading to the January Uprising of 1863-1864, and during the Uprising itself. Of course, the Whites were the more conservative and cautious faction, while the Reds were the more radical ones, and they started the Uprising.
@@1996koke I actually don't know any books in English about it. The English Wikipedia has a considerably long and detailed article about the January Uprising, which has the 'References', 'Further reading' and 'External links' sections near the bottom, but only a minority of publications and resources listed there are in English, and I don't see a proper monograph of the uprising among them. However, I can recommend some general books about the history of Poland (each of them having some part about the January Uprising): - God's Playground by Norman Davies (maybe a bit outdated but a classic) - Poland: A History by Adam Zamoyski - Poland: The First Thousand Years by Patrice M. Dabrowski - A Concise History of Poland by Jerzy Lukowski and Hubert Zawadzki. As you can tell just by glancing at the Wiki article, the January Uprising is important not only to the history of Poland but also Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine. It also indirectly contributed to the creation of the International Workingmen's Association known as the First International in 1864 in London. The January Uprising is also surprisingly relevant today, for example, the Kalinouski Regiment of Belarusian volunteers currently fighting on the Ukrainian side is named after one of the uprising's commanders and uses the date 1863 on its emblem. All things considered, it's weird there is so little about this uprising in English.
Hi, Stefan! Where I live, in the year 1923 began yet another skirmish between Chimangos, wearing a WHITE scarf, against Maragatos, wearing a RED scarf. They fought over who would rule the southernmost province of Brazil, called Rio Grande do Sul. The first war between them was in 1893. Our folk's identity is far from Brazil still today. We are culturaly closer to the pampas, than from Amazônia. The red is still in our flag 🟢🔴🟡, splitting with blood the green and yellow of Brazil's. 🇧🇷 Obrigado! ⚐
Informative historical coverage video about white revolutionary from 1917 to 1923 on collapsed Tsar Empire's territories....History Hustle channel always sharing excellent historical introductions...( pro white Russian naval vessels from Turkish naval coast went to Tunisia 🇹🇳 they remained there under French colonial authority in 1922
White tends to be the color to symbolize any non-Communist faction, regardless of ideology, when in a conflict with Communists, stemming from the color white’s history as a symbol of monarchism and non-Communist republicanism. I like to lump all of these under the term “Classicalist”, basically meaning “white” (as in anti-“red”).
@HistoryHustle no. He only mentioned when the Romanov family was deposed. He said "everyone was yelling freedom which they interpreted as meaning everything was free and you could take whatever you want. " I'm assuming he meant his family were merchants and all their stuff was stolen. I'm 66. I've never known anyone who actually fought in a war to talk about their experiences. They seem to lock them all away in some dark recesses if their minds. Completely understandable unless you're some kind of psycho who likes to relive it.
This is one of your best videos. You explained this multi-layered, complex situation very well. Personally (correct me if I'm wrong), Yudenich came closest to handing the Reds their biggest defeat by almost taking St. Petersberg/Leningrad, which also gave Trotsky his great moment of glory. Makhno wasn't a white, of course. Didn't the Anarchists call themselves "Blacks"? I have a good story about how my father accidentally met one of these White officers back in the 1950s in Connecticut, but it's too long to relate here. Maybe the Whites would have done better if they all attacked simultaneously to the ding dong at10:28 ? Take it easy.
Yeah, you're right. The Anarchist Forces under Nestor Makhno did indeed call themselves the "Black's", and were for a while, quite the force to be reckoned with. P.S - This channel and moreover, videos like this on the channel are just the right place to share your own family experience with the very people who were involved in the events such as those described in the video above. If you ever have the time, or the inclination to come back, I for one would be thrilled to hear what it who it was your Father meet all those years ago, and his impression of the officer in question. I know that unfortunately,. neither of them is still with us, and able to give their account of meeting each other, but you good Sir, you're still here, and you may just be the only living link with that event. So if you ever get the inspiration, I for one would love to hear about an ex-Tzarist officer in Cincinnati in the 1950s, and your own Father. I'm sure that it'll be well worth reading!! Anyway cheers, from Australia 🍺
As an American I so much appreciate your coverage on the Russian revolution. There is so much that we do not learn about here outside of Russia bad. We learned that from our earliest days in school that Russia bad. We never hear about the inner workings of the monarchy the state of the war with the Austria-Hungary empire, only Russia bad.

This was very helpful to me. I just found out recently that my grandfather fought for the czar. I was contacted via Facebook by a Russian immigrant to America, who was doing some genealogical research of his own and reached out to me. He has been very helpful to me, as he of course reads and writes Russian, and I do neither (which has really hindered my efforts to learn more of my family history). The search continues!
Hello, Mr. Stefan, have you ever considered a collaboration with the Great War? He teaches history around the time period that you do and i think it would be interesting if you guys did a collab.
My great-grandparents and their children were white Russians, who managed to escape to America around 19 19. Unfortunately, the rest of my family who couldn't escape were murdered by the Bolsheviks. My grandmother who was around five or six at the time, always talked about the gunfire and the burning of the small town in Russia.
You missed some basic matters: 1. Denikin heading toward Moscow was not defeated by the Reds, his army was hit in the back by the "Black" Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine anarchists (under Nestor Makhno), which smashed Denikin's supply lines. That forced him to retreat. 2. The Reds losses at first were caused in part by it being a totally volunteer army. When Trotsky made the Reds take conscription, then they were able to get their act together and beat the Whites. 3. Also the Reds/Bolsheviks were in very separatist groups with different goals at first, it was only as they were smashed by Whites and reformed they became disciplined under Lenin/Trotsky. 4. The West Russian Volunteer Army in Lithuania and Latvia was started by the German Freicorp being forced to stop, so the Germans changed the Freicorp name to the West Russian Volunteer Army and added some Russian POWs to the mix to make it "russian". WRVA was mainly a disguised force for German political power interests in the region. Really the WRVA should just be treated as the British, French, USA or Japan - as outside power. 5. You mentioned the peasant uprisings - these were usually called Green forces (with no main leader.) BTW, there was also a Blue army (under Alexandr Antonov.) As far as I know Blue, Green, Black, White and Red were all the colors of the technicolor Russian Civil War.
To my knowledge in Finland the paramilitary Red Guards were established in 1905 during a general strike and an opposing force the National Guard was also established to retain order in tumultous situation. In 1918 after the Russian revolution things escalated and civil war ensued resulting in 40 000 deaths during few months, luckily the Whites won because the Reds would have joined Soviet Russia causing 10 to 20 times more deaths.
Great video, the Russian civil war is a very complex topic. Even the whites weren't a wholly unified movement with different views prevailing among the factions and personalities.
The main problem is that they were committing either the same or much worse crimes then the soviets and that made it easier for Lenin to make them look better which considering the whites committed the most murders of Jews until the holocaust was already pretty easy to begin with.
The last Bourbon ( ‘ Legitimist ‘ ) pretender to the throne, Henri, Comte de Chambord , to be taken seriously as a claimant to the French throne, styling himself as Henry V, , actually stood so stubbornly, in 1871 ( after the Second Bonapartist Empires fall ) on the dispatching of the tricolour, and, the reinstitution of the Bourbon white standard, he essentially chucked away a fairly reasonably opportunity of regaining the crown for his House.
He DIDN'T GO into either one. Went is incorrect in your first phrase, as long as we are being picky. Be careful when you throw stones from your glass house. 🙂
@@HistoryHustle Also, idea has three syllables i dee uh. I had a Swedish teacher of German who made the same mistake so I assume it is common if you know ea is usually the same as the sound of a long e. ID for identification is pronounced i dee so that is momentarily confusing for listeners in some contexts. For English speakers who haven't run across that error, it is a bit startling. I've watched a lot of your excellent videos but most were too old for me to make this comment. I now wonder if there were Americans who fought on the side of the Nazis, rather than just as spies or saboteurs. I feel I can trust your information. 🙂
You say that some referred to the Whites such, as they assumed that they wanted to reinstate the Tsar. My question is why would they want to reinstate a system of government tsardom that hadn't existed since the year 1721, when the Russian Empire was established under this thing called an Emperor? Tsar means King: Emperor isn't King.
Thanks for sharing. Just curious how the White Russians end up in our islands in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Please watch the Tubabao Odyssey: White Russians refuge in the Philippines.
An interesting story came out with Kolchak: When the Soviet Union was killed, the descendants of the Whites and their followers in Russia appealed to the prosecutor's office about Kolchak's rehabilitation. The prosecutor's office eagerly took up the case... BUT having considered Kolchak's activities comprehensively, they refused to rehabilitate him. Then several more times the followers of the white cause tried to rehabilitate him, but Admiral Kolchak had so much innocent blood on him that they had to resolutely refuse and beg him not to apply to the prosecutor's office with this request.
@@HistoryHustle Yes there is. On private land. But so far, all evil dogs in Siberia have a common nickname - Kolchak. Also a statue of this man in its own way.))
I'm sorry but this video is not your success due to a lot of mistakes. Even less than half of this video was enough to start crying by blood. For example: 1. Lt.Gen. Anton Denikin wasn't a commander-in chief of the White movement, he was just a C.-i.-c. of the Armed forces in the South of Russia (Rus. Вооруженные силы на Юге России), which mostly consist of the Volunteers' Army and troops of three cossacks' autunomous regions - Cossacks' Voiskos of Don, Kuban and Terek and also units formed after the Volunteers' army. 2. The counter-offensive of Reds against Denikians started not in 1920 but in fall of 1919. 3. Admiral Alexander Kolchak wasn't a leader of Siberian army because theese forces was created before Kolchak became even a minister of war of the Provisional All-Russian Government. Since Adm. A. Kolchak became a supreme commander-in-chief of all White forces in Nov'1919 (and Denikin became his subordinate and representative in the South of Russia as well as Lt.Gen. Miller in the North and General of infantry N. Judenich in the North-West) ex-Siberian army became just one part of Eastern front's troops. It's a pity and the very 1st then I'm so dissapointed in your job.
Not sure if I stand corrected on all points, but too bad for the mistakes. Have you seen the episode about the Russian Civil War I made prior? Lemme know your thoughts on it. Thanks for taking the time for this: ruclips.net/video/P5FEruNG5CY/видео.html
You forgot to mention about soldiers who went to form an army of new-born Ukrainian republic. They fought for independence against both white and red russians. Btw, Kuban cossacs were ancestors of ukrainians
Thing is, my friend, that you have completely left out the role of the Prussians--history's original and greatest Bad Guys--in the incredibly savage Russian Civil Wars. Here's my axe to grind: if the Prussians had not launched Lenin into St Petersburg on that sealed military train from his exile in Switzerland in that crucial moment in 1917, the Russian Revolution would have remained in the hands of the Mensheviks, the Social Democrats, who would have established the democratic traditions and institutions that the same fookin' Prussians had first crushed in 1848. Stalin would have remained just another two-bit, ruthless gangster. He might have murdered a few dozen innocents before being killed by other gangsters...but, crucially aided by the reactionary Prussians, Stalin became the most murderous lunatic in all of human history. (And, okay, Mao might actually have murdered more humans than Stalin, but it was the politics of Stalin's Soviet Union that has far, far more impacted the modern world than Mao's medieval murder of his own peasantry.) All of that hugely important history aside, the other key thing that you somehow failed to mention here in your far too brief video on the shockingly brutal Russian Civil War is the role in it that was played by the Western Allies and their insatiable corporations and paymasters who instinctively protected and promoted the "White Russian" cause. Let's not forget that this was still the Age of the Robber Barons--the ultimate enemies, then as now, of democracy and fairness. In America and the UK at the very same moment, the oppressed working class were mounting their most serious challenges to the eternal ruling class. The establishment of unions and the right to vote for women and the disenfranchised working poor. When young kids still had to go to work at age fcking 7. For the victorious Western Allies of WWI, crushing the Russian Revolution was actually much, much more crucial than defeating the already dying Hapsburg and Hohenzollern Empires. (Just as it remains today in the rotten, far-right oligarchies who still control the US and the UK.) Why are contemporary, and especially, RUclips historians so afraid of connecting these very obvious dots? Hierarchies of power should be fair game in a free and democratic world...and yet, they very much are not. Why is that, pray tell? And I get it--you're just another frightened and completely intimidated RUclipsr who can't speak his mind, etc, etc, but what does that say about our "democracies" and our "freedom of information" in the 21st century? Ain't nothing really changed in a thousand years. Those with the gold still make the rules, and journalists and historians still have to be very, very careful about what powerful entities they might piss off. Our "modern world" is essentially no different from that of the Good Soldier Švejk a century ago. The only thing that surprises me is what cowards we are today. A hundred years ago, people spoke out much more forcefully about this sh*t and faced much greater consequences, while today we're timid fookin' rabbits who are far more worried about our revenue streams than being sent to a gulag. Fookin' cowards whose presentations of "history" are a disservice to history because they are only concerned with being "demonetized."
speech by Mikhail Frunze (Bolshevik, Moldovan by nationality, brilliant self-taught military man): "If you open any White Guard newspaper, you will see that Kolchak, who says that he defends the unity of Russia, that he goes for its national revival, this Kolchak has help from all the imperialists of the world. In such a newspaper you will read triumphant notes that the British are advancing very successfully in the North of Russia, that they have taken Arkhangelsk and that not today or tomorrow they will move closer to the center of Russia. Here you will also read that Estonia and Finland are beating the Bolsheviks, that Petrograd will be taken tomorrow, and that their troops are working very successfully. In the west, the Bolsheviks are also successfully beaten and Polish troops are advancing. In the same way, Romanian troops are advancing successfully in the south; the English and French fleets are acting very successfully, bombarding the Black Sea cities and also beating the Bolsheviks. Then you read that Baku is in the hands of the British, and the Bolshevik ships are also being destroyed by the British fleet. In the east, Japanese troops are also beating the Bolsheviks and also acting successfully. Russian Russians, comrades, compare all these statements that you have read, and think about where the Russian people are here - everywhere on these numerous fronts are the British, French, Japanese, Poles, Estonians, etc., and where are the Russian workers and peasants? They are here, inside the country, they are the Bolsheviks who are being beaten by all these Japanese, British, Poles and others. And I think, comrades, that every fool should understand that there, in the camp of our enemies, there can be no national revival of Russia, that there can be no question of fighting for the well-being of the Russian people from that side. Because it's not because of the beautiful eyes that all these French and British help Denikin and Kolchak - naturally, they pursue their interests. This fact should be clear enough that Russia is not there, that we have Russia..." M.V. Frunze 20.09.1919
Allies of the Russian Empire and the Tzar in the Great War were friends of White Armies that fought for the Tzar. They were the enemies of the Red Army and the Bolsheviks because they made separate peace agreement with the Central Powers and excluded what's left of the Empire out of the war, the Peace of Brest-Litovsk. They also gave freedom of independence to the secessionist countries: Baltic states, Finland, Poland and Ukraine. That same deal was copy-pasted with the Royal Yugoslavia when Tito got the power in 1945. Royal Serbia and later Kingdom of SCS, at first allowed the Bolshevik Communist Party, but later banned them and prosecuted them. After assassination attempts, thier leaders were even shoot for resisting arrest. Communist Party argued for the freedom of independence for all the separatist that wish to do so, that's why they were popular among them. Their ethnic political program was one of the causes for the Civil War in R Yugoslavia during the occupation of Axis in WW2.

Good book called The Whiite Generals.
To my knowledge in Finland the paramilitary Red Guards were established in 1905 during a general strike and an opposing force the National Guard was also established to retain order in tumultous situation. In 1918 after the Russian revolution things escalated and civil war ensued resulting in 40 000 deaths during few months, luckily the Whites won because the Reds would have joined Soviet Russia causing 10 to 20 times more deaths.
The White Finns knew how to deal with the red menace
Great video, the Russian civil war is a very complex topic. Even the whites weren't a wholly unified movement with different views prevailing among the factions and personalities.
The main problem is that they were committing either the same or much worse crimes then the soviets and that made it easier for Lenin to make them look better which considering the whites committed the most murders of Jews until the holocaust was already pretty easy to begin with.
luckily we had bolsheviks who stopped the civil war and killed the invaders from Europe, USA and Japan.
@@ljoe7038 "Luckily" and "Bolsheviks" should never be used in the same sentence.
@@Dexusaz why? They saved Russia, we are thankful to them for that! Or you are a russophobe?
@@Dexusaz or maybe your grandgrandfather invaded Russia and was luckily killed?
Pyotr Krasnov would later fight the Bolsheviks again, during WW2.
The last Bourbon ( ‘ Legitimist ‘ ) pretender to the throne, Henri, Comte de Chambord , to be taken seriously as a claimant to the French throne, styling himself as Henry V, , actually stood so stubbornly, in 1871 ( after the Second Bonapartist Empires fall ) on the dispatching of the tricolour, and, the reinstitution of the Bourbon white standard, he essentially chucked away a fairly reasonably opportunity of regaining the crown for his House.
You should've included some details on the leaderships former occupation and titles under the Tsar and provisional govt
Germans also fought with the white Russians against the Bolsheviks, just listen to their song nacht steht hunger
He didn't go into AXEL (Ax-l), he went into EXILE (Ex-eye-l).
Ok.
He DIDN'T GO into either one. Went is incorrect in your first phrase, as long as we are being picky. Be careful when you throw stones from your glass house. 🙂
@@HistoryHustle Also, idea has three syllables i dee uh. I had a Swedish teacher of German who made the same mistake so I assume it is common if you know ea is usually the same as the sound of a long e. ID for identification is pronounced i dee so that is momentarily confusing for listeners in some contexts. For English speakers who haven't run across that error, it is a bit startling. I've watched a lot of your excellent videos but most were too old for me to make this comment. I now wonder if there were Americans who fought on the side of the Nazis, rather than just as spies or saboteurs. I feel I can trust your information. 🙂
@@653j521 lol
Stefan, what’s your opinion of Antony Beevor’s new book on the the Russian Civil War? Have you read it? What are your comment’s?
Parts of it. It seems legit but havent read the full version yet.
You say that some referred to the Whites such, as they assumed that they wanted to reinstate the Tsar. My question is why would they want to reinstate a system of government tsardom that hadn't existed since the year 1721, when the Russian Empire was established under this thing called an Emperor? Tsar means King: Emperor isn't King.
Not according to the Encyclopedia Britannica online.
@@653j521 how about the Russian language for u?
@@christopherwood9009 By the word "tsar" people meant a monarch, not a king
Heb je ook al een video gemaakt over de Japanners in WWII? Dat vindt ik ook wel een interessant onderwerp.
Nog niet!
For me, the Russian Civil War is like a movie that you know, but always when you watch it you hope for a different ending 🥲
It sure was a brutal conflict.
long live the white army and the imperial family
Ok.
Have you seen the film Denison?
Thanks for sharing. Just curious how the White Russians end up in our islands in the Philippines 🇵🇭.
Please watch the Tubabao Odyssey: White Russians refuge in the Philippines.
Interesting!
White was a monarchy color
Yes.
i remember this america uk japan aid the fights on Siberia and far east
then as i know president Quezon accept white Russians in the Philippines
America: What is the Philippines a country?
Highly recommend that anyone interested in the subject read: Always with Honor by Pyotr Wrangel.
Excellent read.
Would be an interesting read.
those elite troops held out on the ice
👍
Will you cover new economic policy after this?
Will cover it one day for sure.
An interesting story came out with Kolchak: When the Soviet Union was killed, the descendants of the Whites and their followers in Russia appealed to the prosecutor's office about Kolchak's rehabilitation. The prosecutor's office eagerly took up the case... BUT having considered Kolchak's activities comprehensively, they refused to rehabilitate him. Then several more times the followers of the white cause tried to rehabilitate him, but Admiral Kolchak had so much innocent blood on him that they had to resolutely refuse and beg him not to apply to the prosecutor's office with this request.
I believe there is a statue of Kolchak in Irkutsk now.
@@HistoryHustle Yes there is. On private land. But so far, all evil dogs in Siberia have a common nickname - Kolchak. Also a statue of this man in its own way.))
the story of the rescue Czech legion in Russian is a story I looking forward to hearing from you
👍
Was there any chance of the decembrists revolution to succed? And if it succeded who would lead it, the north our the south?
Can't tell for sure but I doubt it.
@@HistoryHustle alr
Oh boy, what a nice video. Thank God, that Russian Civil War will not repeat itself once more, right?
_trollge face expression_
memory eternal to the holy rus empire
I see.
wow
I'm sorry but this video is not your success due to a lot of mistakes. Even less than half of this video was enough to start crying by blood. For example:
1. Lt.Gen. Anton Denikin wasn't a commander-in chief of the White movement, he was just a C.-i.-c. of the Armed forces in the South of Russia (Rus. Вооруженные силы на Юге России), which mostly consist of the Volunteers' Army and troops of three cossacks' autunomous regions - Cossacks' Voiskos of Don, Kuban and Terek and also units formed after the Volunteers' army.
2. The counter-offensive of Reds against Denikians started not in 1920 but in fall of 1919.
3. Admiral Alexander Kolchak wasn't a leader of Siberian army because theese forces was created before Kolchak became even a minister of war of the Provisional All-Russian Government. Since Adm. A. Kolchak became a supreme commander-in-chief of all White forces in Nov'1919 (and Denikin became his subordinate and representative in the South of Russia as well as Lt.Gen. Miller in the North and General of infantry N. Judenich in the North-West) ex-Siberian army became just one part of Eastern front's troops.
It's a pity and the very 1st then I'm so dissapointed in your job.
Not sure if I stand corrected on all points, but too bad for the mistakes. Have you seen the episode about the Russian Civil War I made prior? Lemme know your thoughts on it. Thanks for taking the time for this:

You forgot to mention about soldiers who went to form an army of new-born Ukrainian republic. They fought for independence against both white and red russians. Btw, Kuban cossacs were ancestors of ukrainians
I covered that here:

Thing is, my friend, that you have completely left out the role of the Prussians--history's original and greatest Bad Guys--in the incredibly savage Russian Civil Wars. Here's my axe to grind: if the Prussians had not launched Lenin into St Petersburg on that sealed military train from his exile in Switzerland in that crucial moment in 1917, the Russian Revolution would have remained in the hands of the Mensheviks, the Social Democrats, who would have established the democratic traditions and institutions that the same fookin' Prussians had first crushed in 1848. Stalin would have remained just another two-bit, ruthless gangster. He might have murdered a few dozen innocents before being killed by other gangsters...but, crucially aided by the reactionary Prussians, Stalin became the most murderous lunatic in all of human history. (And, okay, Mao might actually have murdered more humans than Stalin, but it was the politics of Stalin's Soviet Union that has far, far more impacted the modern world than Mao's medieval murder of his own peasantry.)
All of that hugely important history aside, the other key thing that you somehow failed to mention here in your far too brief video on the shockingly brutal Russian Civil War is the role in it that was played by the Western Allies and their insatiable corporations and paymasters who instinctively protected and promoted the "White Russian" cause. Let's not forget that this was still the Age of the Robber Barons--the ultimate enemies, then as now, of democracy and fairness.
In America and the UK at the very same moment, the oppressed working class were mounting their most serious challenges to the eternal ruling class. The establishment of unions and the right to vote for women and the disenfranchised working poor. When young kids still had to go to work at age fcking 7. For the victorious Western Allies of WWI, crushing the Russian Revolution was actually much, much more crucial than defeating the already dying Hapsburg and Hohenzollern Empires. (Just as it remains today in the rotten, far-right oligarchies who still control the US and the UK.)
Why are contemporary, and especially, RUclips historians so afraid of connecting these very obvious dots? Hierarchies of power should be fair game in a free and democratic world...and yet, they very much are not. Why is that, pray tell? And I get it--you're just another frightened and completely intimidated RUclipsr who can't speak his mind, etc, etc, but what does that say about our "democracies" and our "freedom of information" in the 21st century? Ain't nothing really changed in a thousand years. Those with the gold still make the rules, and journalists and historians still have to be very, very careful about what powerful entities they might piss off. Our "modern world" is essentially no different from that of the Good Soldier Švejk a century ago. The only thing that surprises me is what cowards we are today. A hundred years ago, people spoke out much more forcefully about this sh*t and faced much greater consequences, while today we're timid fookin' rabbits who are far more worried about our revenue streams than being sent to a gulag. Fookin' cowards whose presentations of "history" are a disservice to history because they are only concerned with being "demonetized."
The white army was nothing but a group of savages any political opposition would’ve looked better at the time
speech by Mikhail Frunze (Bolshevik, Moldovan by nationality, brilliant self-taught military man):
"If you open any White Guard newspaper, you will see that Kolchak, who says that he defends the unity of Russia, that he goes for its national revival, this Kolchak has help from all the imperialists of the world. In such a newspaper you will read triumphant notes that the British are advancing very successfully in the North of Russia, that they have taken Arkhangelsk and that not today or tomorrow they will move closer to the center of Russia.
Here you will also read that Estonia and Finland are beating the Bolsheviks, that Petrograd will be taken tomorrow, and that their troops are working very successfully. In the west, the Bolsheviks are also successfully beaten and Polish troops are advancing. In the same way, Romanian troops are advancing successfully in the south; the English and French fleets are acting very successfully, bombarding the Black Sea cities and also beating the Bolsheviks. Then you read that Baku is in the hands of the British, and the Bolshevik ships are also being destroyed by the British fleet. In the east, Japanese troops are also beating the Bolsheviks and also acting successfully.
Russian Russians, comrades, compare all these statements that you have read, and think about where the Russian people are here - everywhere on these numerous fronts are the British, French, Japanese, Poles, Estonians, etc., and where are the Russian workers and peasants? They are here, inside the country, they are the Bolsheviks who are being beaten by all these Japanese, British, Poles and others.
And I think, comrades, that every fool should understand that there, in the camp of our enemies, there can be no national revival of Russia, that there can be no question of fighting for the well-being of the Russian people from that side. Because it's not because of the beautiful eyes that all these French and British help Denikin and Kolchak - naturally, they pursue their interests. This fact should be clear enough that Russia is not there, that we have Russia..."

Thanks for sharing.
@@HistoryHustle You're welcome.)
Allies of the Russian Empire and the Tzar in the Great War were friends of White Armies that fought for the Tzar.
They were the enemies of the Red Army and the Bolsheviks because they made separate peace agreement with the Central Powers and excluded what's left of the Empire out of the war, the Peace of Brest-Litovsk.
They also gave freedom of independence to the secessionist countries: Baltic states, Finland, Poland and Ukraine.
That same deal was copy-pasted with the Royal Yugoslavia when Tito got the power in 1945.
Royal Serbia and later Kingdom of SCS, at first allowed the Bolshevik Communist Party, but later banned them and prosecuted them.
After assassination attempts, thier leaders were even shoot for resisting arrest.
Communist Party argued for the freedom of independence for all the separatist that wish to do so,
that's why they were popular among them.
Their ethnic political program was one of the causes for the Civil War in R Yugoslavia during the occupation of Axis in WW2.
