Combatants[edit | edit source]

Bolsheviks[edit | edit source]

The Bolsheviks were a radical Far Left Marxist faction in the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party that was founded by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov. After splitting from the Mensheviks, they became their own party and would go on to overthrow the provisional government in 1917, thus startting the Russian Civil War.

White Movement[edit | edit source]

The White Movement/White Army was a loose movement of the Anti-Communists who fought the Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War. The White Movement was a big tent movement as it ranged from Social Democrats(Who were still Socialist back then) and Liberals to Tsarists/Monarchists as well as Ultranationalists like the Black Hundreds.
