And what are you looking forward to in part two? Let us know in the comments! One small correction - in June 1916, Kolchak was promoted to Vice-Admiral, not full Admiral, as implied in the video. He was only promoted to full Admiral in November 1918, after he became Supreme Ruler of Russia.

[@НикитаОшуев-п8б]

A little mistake at 07:00. The railway from Chita to Khabarovsk did not exist that time. It was built 10 years later. That is why the only way to Vladivostok via Harbin was so important in the war

[@jayo3074]

Wrong

[@vinllga]

There is no any mistake here. Wrong is your knowledge. Trans-Siberian railway on the Baikal-Chita section and before crossing the Chinese Eastern railway (КВЖД), connecting woth Port-Arthur, were built before 1904. Only one famous diffucult section of Circum-Baikal railway was unfinished, which is why cargo & people had to be melted on ferries across Lake Baikal.

Fun Fact: Kolchak is romanian,he came from a romanian family that emigrated to Russia and russified their name,the original name was Colgeac,it would have been interesting to see him win the civil war,he was in a way like the georgian stalin in that he was an outsider who ruled Russia.

[@me67galaxylife]

except georgia was integrated to russia at the time so stalin probably saw himself as russian, and kolchak was raised as a russian and considered himself as such

[@jangrosek4334]

I heard a different version. Kolchak was of Bosnian Serb descent. His ancestor served in the Ottoman army and deserted to the Russians at the end of the 18th century.

[@mojewjewjew4420]

@@jangrosek4334 every person on earth is serbian 🤡

[@rennor3498]

@@jangrosek4334 Alexander Kolchak ancestor was a Moldavian mercenary by the name of Ilias Colceag, born in modern day Besserabia in the late 17th century. He employed himself in the service of the Ottomans and recieved a post in Bosnia, where he converted to Islam and gradually ascended the ranks to be appointed as pasha by Sultan Ahmed III himself. Afterwards he was stationed as governor of Chotyn fortress in Moldavia as was a native and could speak the local language, sometime in the 1730s. After the Battle of Stavuchany in 1739 during the Russo-Turkish War of 1735-1739, he surrendered the city to the Russian Army led by Fieldmarshal Burkhard Christoph von Muennich and was taken to St. Petersburg as a prisoner of war, together with his son. He was later released during the reign of Empress Anna and was planning on returning to the Ottoman service when he discovered the Sultan Mahmud I had issued a warrant of execution for him on charges of treason for surrndering Chotyn fortress. This led to him remain in Russia, opting to settle in Zytomir, Ukraine , and his son would revert to Orthodox Christianity and enter service in the Russian Army and was later raised to status of landowner and aristocrat during the reign of Empress Elisabeth. I hope this clarified things for you.

Milan Rastislav Štefánik was a czechoslovak general, of a Slovak origin. Also, the czechoslovak legion was mostly made up of Czechs and Slovaks as well, you can't leave out that fact.

right and the fact is that the war against Bolsheviks started that czechoslovak legion when they declined bolshevik's order to seize their weapons.

Czechoslovak legion and its leader Syrovoy were in fact the traitors. They hung between Bolsheviks and Whites and ran over from one side to another.

In September 2001, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation left the ruling of the military court of the Trans-Baikal Military District of January 26, 1999 unchanged, fully agreeing with the conclusions of the district court. The Supreme Court of Russia recognized that Kolchak was a war criminal, and therefore not subject to rehabilitation, and the essence of his crime was that he, having significant powers of power, did not stop the terror of the civilian population in the eastern part of Russia, which was under the regime of the White movement.

It is interesting that Kolceak was so devoted to Russia but he is not a pure russian etnic. His descendent,Ilias Colceak was a moldovian mercenary who fought for the Ottoman Empire(1700 years).Ilias was an orthodox christian but he converted to islam and due to his military success he became the the ottoman commander of Hotin citadel(a citadel located in northern Moldovia at that time).He fought against russians with success but a russian general offered him good terms of surrendering and he accepted.He and his son were taken hostage at Petrograd and spent some time with russian royal family.After the war ended,Ilias decided to return to Moldovia but on the road he found out that the sultan was going to kill him for treason beacuse he surroundered Hotin citadel to russians.Ilias Colgeac never return to Moldovia and he established in Poland serving the polish noble until the end of his days.His son emigrated to Russia and converted to christian orthodoxism.(he was muslim before) and started a family there. So Colceak has romanian origins. Russia and Romania were never in good terms in history but is is quite ironic that a russian general with romanian origins try to save Russia from the bolsheviks. 🇷🇴🤝🇷🇺

[@dough9512]

Thank you!!

[@mojewjewjew4420]

Colgeac not colceak. Its not ironic,Romania and romanians were very hostile to bolshevism,it was Romania that crushed the bolshevik hungarian republic in 1919 and communism never had a foothold in Romania pre 1945,even then it was difficult to implement.

You don't have to be of the majority ethnic group to be in support of it. In a similar vein, Stalin was Georgian, but very much a pro-Russian nationalist relative to the minorities within the USSR.

Russia has always had the tendency to endear great, almost fanatical loyalty to it by people who aren't, at least originally from its soil.

Well Moldova is not a homogeneous nation state, it is made up of various groups. Colgeac was from Bessarabia. The people there are not Romanian at all but an Orthodox Turkic tribe who even to today, have leanings towards Russia.

Well "Epic History" is Absolutely EPIC as always. Watched Napoleon 50 plus times at this point and Kolchak series 20 plus times. Especially when this is Suppppppperrbbb History series. When sir Charles Nove says "SUPPPEEEERRBBB" it always gives me Goose Bumps. From background music to Superb Narration, this Channel Numero Uno hands down.

I think this video needed a more detailed look at the differences between the Bolshevik faction and the socialists fighting with kolchak. The video has a very pro kolchak vibe, but it sounds like he happily turns on his socialist allies, and we are expected to just understand that is a good thing for no reason. It's very noticeable to me and I am just a humble admirer of most of the videos you guys do.
