the key to the Bolshevik victory in the civil war was maintaining the control of the heavily industrialized west. The reds held a smaller land mass with large cities with factories and armories. On the other hand the whites held a greater area of Russia but the land they occupied was generally wilderness, small peasant farms, scrub land and swamps. This meant that there were far more means to produce income for the reds, whilst the whites on the other hand (at points in the war) had to rely solely on donations from foreign powers. Also the reds aggressive "war communism" policy which led to the deaths of thousands from starvation and the "Cheka" secret police kept the population servile and in fear of the red authority. 20/20 on my essay on the Russian civil war last year :D

[@yugine1000]

You are a good scholar. Bolsheviks were smart as fucks. To take over St. Petersburg with such a small power and then infect everyone with communism - the Devil complains about them right now.

[@abaddonabaddon374]

The main problem of Bolshevik forces were that all fuel-Rich regions were controlled by Whites and because of this the Bolshevik fabrics were stagnated. All of cities under Bolshevik control were starving, because all the black-soiled regions were controlled by White Movement. The white movement was more anarchious (Denikin did not help either Yudenich or Kolchak) and their propoganda was weak. About "War communism" - it caused some rebellions in Kronshtadt among sailors(which had sturmed Winter Palace in 1917) and was quite uneffective and reactionary. Lenin then changed it into "НЭП"(New Economic Policy). The biggest winning forces of Red Movement was the youth. "Комсомол"(Young Communistic League) was one of the motive forces for the Bolsheviks. They fighted at the front, did any job for the Idea, "by naked enthusiasm". You can contact me for more information if you will

In the Civil War I would have definitely supported the Bolsheviks, but ever since the incident at Kronstadt it's understandable why many of its previous supporters opted out or at least became disappointed in Lenin. They warned Lenin that he had too much power and that a vanguard party will lead to oppression and a dictatorship of a single man or people who have hidden interests, but the paranoia Lenin developed after assassination attempts were made on him made him hold on to his power like it was a matter of life and death. While Lenin still had his intellect to prevent him from going way too far with his power, his paranoia was passed down to the aggressive brute known as Stalin who was a complete psychopath. He became the influence of Mao and other Asian Communist movements. Damn, so many things went wrong. It's really depressing for a Communist sympathizer like myself to see how every Communist movement was either suppressed by an outside force or disintegrated from forces within.

@@LuxLoser you are right, the Kronstadt uprising was part of the civil war, but perhaps the author decided to show the main stage of the civil war, that is, the confrontation between the "white" and "red" armies.

[@MusicGamesEverything]

If it wasn't for the Bolsheviks winning the civil war, Russia would never have been able to beat Nazi Germany. The white movement was very divided among itself. The only uniting factor was "we're not Bolsheviks". If they won, Russia would've been split into dozens of smaller nations, many having conflicting ideologies. This isn't even mentioning that the big industrialization and advancement that the Soviets made would never have occurred and Russia would've still been pretty backwards military-wise. It would've been a cake-walk for Nazi Germany and they probably would've made it to Siberia.

[@solarsign1]

Meanwhile, one of the main factors the Nazis were allowed to exist and expand were the Bolsheviks. The Allies were afraid of them much more than the weakened Germany, it was meant to be a buffer and counterweight against Soviet Russia. Only after the Nazis proved to be unexpectedly dangerous were the Allies forced to form an alliance with the USSR.

This was actually a dirtier war than I first thought, a lot of warlordism, revolts and complicated fronts in places I would never imagine (for god sake, the war even reaches Kamchatka and northern Siberia), pretty similar to recent African wars, but at a huge scale. I expected this to be a more or less static war, but I've seen not. Thank you for uploading this video

[@PatriotMapper]

One thing I’d like to mention is a more accurate title for this video would be the Russian Revolution. The Russian Civil War only refers to the period from 1918 onwards, the Russian Revolution refers to the 1917 revolutions as well as the civil war.

[@abaddonabaddon374]

USA had invaded Russia in 1917

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

True, but the official Government in power then was the Russian SSR, meaning that, technically, it was an invasion.

[@Shogo5000]

Aлександар Поповић Actually, the USA sent troops in Russia (Kola and Transbaikalia) to support the White russians against the Reds and prevent japanese expansionism

[@MichaelFay63]

Shogo5000 The British would have approved of the Japanese as they were allied to share China between them.Good information as war between Japan Britain versus the US for control of East Asia. Britain would support anyone against Russia.They still do! Not the workers I might add as they struck to prevent arms going against the Bolsheviki.

[@66Flux]

Thank you a lot! Great job!

[@ekhmuel]

I'd debate you representation for June-July 1918. In July 1918 Yekaterinburg and Perm in the Urals were still in Bolshevik hands. Yekaterinburg fell on 28th July 1918 (or 26th depending on you point of view), but is marked as being firmly white since june of that Year. Nor was the city besieged as it still had Telegraph contact with Moscow until at least the 19th July. Further, the Imperial family were executed on July 17th and on the 20th their posessions were despatched to moscow by train, so the railway wasn't cut at that point either.

***** Otto Köster No, you're both wrong. The war ended in 1918, not to mention, the bolsheviks had already signed a peace treaty with Germany much earlier.

[@seitapril2023offline]

I found it also interesting to read the civil war part of the Soviet Unions history.I dont know if it's totally accurate, but Suomi did write that not all movements of troops are mentioned here. On reading my opinion was that the Bosheviks had a pretty lucky timing on the foreign policy events before the Revolution started and partly also afterwards. E.g. German Empire having invaded Lithuania so Britans didn't want to land there on supporting the "Russian Republic". Latter on the leaving of war from Germany (can be seen here to) made the Reds gain most of the territory Germany had in the east at the ending of 1918. Curiously you can also find out that Britain forced Germany to remain troops in Lithuania until Treaty of Versailles was signed (the Allies didn't have own troops there).All in all it was Long time unclear who would win the Reds or Whites. Another interesting event was that the USA didn't allow a big Intervention by the allies(cant remember the reason but probably the Allies were war-weary after WWI)althought Britain wanted to Support the Whites furthermore.And Zarizyn (today Wolgograd) played an very important role in many failed attemps of the Whites to retake Petrograd or Moscow. The defending of Zarizyn which had a very very important railway connection to the capital Moscow(before the Revolution started actually Petrograd was capital but they moved it) and Petrograd the two most important cities for the Revolution was also important. Found the Video very interesting, cause ist another Thing seeing the changing of territory on a map. Bolsheviks were a bit lucky and had also the effects of the Revolution on there sides. I say that because the red army wasn't that strong in the civil war years (got also defeated by Poland in 1920) compared to latter. But thats why you call its civil war, its a bloody war in the own Country with the citizens killing each outer. And your very lucky when its over and you survived it.

Stalin was paranoid during the Great Purge. Unfortunately, Stalin thought that Hitler won't betray him. The Soviet Union wasn't prepared enough, so they let the Germans getting exhausted, then they struck back. And Stalin thought that Hitler faked his death.

[@medeakamchatsky5973]

Jack Griffin George Havenhand Actually there a lots of groups that forms the Communist in the Russian Revolution, there were mostly Bolshevik and also Mencheviks, the major difference between them is that the Bolsheviks wanted a dictatorship, and the Mencheviks wanted a democracy. The Mencheviks forms some soviets (some sort of local parliament leads by the people), but at the end, the Mencheviks were exterminate, and the soviets died with them. And the idea of a Direct Democracy also.

Gismo 359 The IDEA sounds good, but this is why communism can't work. The people simply won't work hard enough. When the CEO of microsoft gets the same pay as leonardo from mcdonalds for having a much easier job, do you think the CEO of microsoft will want to work at a job like that, or even work at all? after all, he can put in MUCH less effort and get paid the same.

@@simpleman4215 Comparing to the era of Tsarist Russia, more people were educated and healthcare was better. More houses were also built, and the country became more industrialised. However we cannot deny the deaths that were caused in the early days by Stalin's desire to industrialise the country rapidly.
