The civil war in Russia was not an accident. The October Revolution of 1917 left the opposing sides no choice. The time for political dialogue ended as soon as it began. Beautiful promises of universal equality, freedom and a way out of the war turned into a long bloody fratricidal war. The history of the largest national tragedy is still not fully understood. There are far more questions than answers here. The Bolsheviks, who in recent years have become accustomed to laying the blame for everything that happened, were no different from the White Guards in terms of the manifestation of cruelty. The second Russian turmoil took place with unprecedented bitterness on both belligerents. From the book you will get answers to the following questions: Were all the first White Guards without exception big factory owners and landowners? Who created the Red Army and how? Who multiplied the number of victims of the Red Terror? Why did Admiral Kolchak turn everyone against him? What prevented White from winning? Did the civil war end after Wrangel's army left the Crimea? Who were the first commissioners? And most importantly, you will understand why a civil war should never happen again in Russia!
