Abstract

The article discusses the 'Russian' Civil War of 1918-21, which followed the Revolution of 1917 and involved various factions fighting for control over Soviet Russia. The conflict was not just a single civil war but a series of complex struggles that extended beyond central Russia. The Bolsheviks emerged victorious, facing opposition from White armies, Socialist Revolutionaries, and nationalist groups, with violence and political persecution characterizing the period. The aftermath of the Civil War influenced the evolution of the Soviet regime, leading to the emergence of Stalinism, with the Soviet-Polish War of 1920-1 playing a significant role in shaping future Soviet policies and ideologies.
