The Russian Civil War: Every Other Day
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- See an animated map showing the front lines of the Russian Civil War every two days. The Bolsheviks arose in 1917 after the Russian Revolution overthrew the czar, but loyalist forces as well as independence movements would do their best to halt their advances. The result was a long and drawn out conflict that killed millions.

I guess Russians weren't the only frostproof slavs back in the day.
Everything is very simple. 45k Czechoslovakians were heading towards Vladivostok for evacuation from Russia. At the time of the mutiny, the Czechoslovak echelons were stretched along the entire railway, and when the Entente gave the order, they simply captured the empty cities, where there were no military gorrisons.

Wow someone actually managed to conquer Russia.
It was the Russians, lol.
Hebrew Squid The Mongols and Huns did too.
And the poles.
Poles? In 1612? They occupied only Kremlin in Moskva. They stood under siege and practiced cannibalism. Nice occupation.
A bunch of feodals, capitalists and failed officers grabed the right to be 'only true Russians'. What about 90% population of Russia - workers and peasants? Fuck that 'white nazy russia'. Viva la Soviet Russia!
Mongol was able to enter Russia (or rather, already virtually independent russian kingdoms, which were ruled by branches of the Rurik dynasty) in a vassalage.
They were not able to destroy the russian principalities and seize their lands and manage them directly. People continued to live in the same country ruled by the same dynasty (rurikids), with the same culture and the organization of society.
Thus, it is not quite conquest, although russia was a vassal.
When the Huns were Russia did not exist.

Might sound strange but this is where the Cold War started. The Americans were funding and sending troops to the remnants of the white movement. This is where Soviet and American relationships became bitter and hostile.

I see that railroads were just as much a factor in this war as they were in the American Civil War.
The Civil War (and even the Second World War) in Russia took place along the railways. A very large area and a lot of dense forests.
Railroads were important in every war since the 18th century, one of the main reasons Germany failed to beat the allies in 1914 is the superior allied railways which meant they could transport troops quicker

What a complicated, multi-sided war...
All wars are like that. The only thing that makes this one special is that so many world powers hated the outcome. Winners write the history books, but when Communists win everybody else sucks up to the losers.
Wobbo
Communism isn't an underdog, stop acting like it is. Marxism has won both the biggest war ever fought in history and also in terms of subversion after the collapse of communist countries, and is endemic in all academia and high positions of power.
On the contrary, history books are more likely to praise the reds and write off the atrocities they committed as justified and instead point to "White terror" as if it's comparable in the slightest.
60 million died in Russia alone because of those cunts and no one even cares, everyone is too focused on Hitler - that just proves that the media is still in the hands of the perpetrators.
A lot of right-wing extremists like Hitler call anybody that disagrees with them communist and Marxist. They are unstable and fanatic and cannot be taken seriously.

What Mongols conquered was not exactly Russia, but a group of small Slavic kingdoms, that later united under the pressure and became Russia.
Vjaĉesláv Ivanov, What Mongols conquered was exactly Russia (Rus'). It become "a group of small Slavic kingdoms" because of invasion(s) of Mongols.
Most Kingdos unided willingly and expiled Mongols. Even the "Ukraine" joined Russia absolutly wilingly (Pereyaslav Council).

In case you’re wondering about the Czechoslovakians taking over the trans-siberian railway, the short summary is that they were trapped there from fighting in ww1 when Russia dropped out of the war, and so they just said “f*ck it” and took over the railways while they attempted to escape
Also important to note that their nation wasnt independent at the time they started, but they went home to a newly independent nation
They were trapped because the Reds wouldn't let them which is why they fought in the first place, kind of an important detail to leave out
don't spread your own made up nonsense anymore
@@noven8259The Reds did not prohibit passage, but soon demanded to disarm, and then the French hinted that the Reds were not needed. Then there was one incident in Ufa with German prisoners of war and the Czechs began a siege.
😂😂😂😂 best explanation so far 😅
This is wonderfully detailed and clear. You don't show the White/allied advances on the Northern Dvina River front in summer 1919, but perhaps they were too small to show up on a map of this scale anyway.

Very interesting, thank you for putting it together.

I wonder if you could look into it and correct it at some point.

just imagine a czechoslovak soldier meeting a japanese soldier in a railroad station in the middle of siberia...
Mostly accurate, but here's a list of mistakes:
1) Idel-Ural never existed as real state.
2) There wasn't any state in Altai mountains in 1917-1918
3) Whites led by Denikin in Autumn of 1919 conquered more land in Ukraine, than it is shown here
4) There was no any Bolshevik resistance in Okhotsk in 1918-1919
5) Whites are those who wanted to restore Russia in 1914 borders. Then why Poland, Ukraine and Baltics are there? They were fighting for independence not for whites.
6) In the spring of 1921 there was a much bigger revolt in western Siberia than it shown here.
7) The Green Ukraine also never existed as real state.
8) Bolsheviks established their power in Irkutsk in December, not November of 1917, and in Vladivostok in the very beginning of December of 1917.
9) Crimean People's Republic was just a government, controlled Crimea, not the fully independent state.
Everything else is really accurate shown, I am also glad to see that you didn't forgot the fighting in Yakutia until 1923.
1. They declared independence. Sure they weren't recognized but since everyone was fighting for independence or control I included it.
2. Yes there was.
3. I've seen multiple maps showing both. But more information supported what I put from what I saw. Oh well though.
4. It wasn't resistance it was a cut off force.
5. The key says White Forces and Allies.
6. False, it was actually contained closer to the coast rather than inland.
7. See number 1.
8. I didn't see anything about that but ok.
9. Well it's a thin line.
6) There was large revolt. Rebels captured many small towns in today's tuymen oblast, and catched the Petropavlovsk, which is today in Kazakhstan.
5) Oh, thanks, I didn't noticed.
2) There wasn't, idk where you got this info.
7) Find a bit more info.
1) Actually, this wasn't an independent state, but just the establishing of short live government, existed in February-March of 1918, not in December-March.
No offending, I just show the mistakes which are here. Anyway, the 90-95% of video made very accurate.

No most of Siberia was wastelands
Does anybody know what happened in November and December 1919 which turned the tide so drastically?
Against the whites
Iron Duke The White forces were sorely overextended and were pushed back so hard. Predicting that Omsk would fall, Alexandr Kolchak and other high and loyal political figures decided to evacuate the city by rail. They were stopped by the leftist factions within the Whites and the Czechoslovak Legion, who then decided to imprison and turn over Kolchak and other high politcal figures over to the Bolsheviks.
Anti-white revolts in Siberia and Far East finally destroyed the Kolchak's forces.
Also if I recall correctly that was when wrangel's forces lost Tsaritsyn and had to retreat to Crimea in the south
The Siberian White Army was pushed back starting in April 1919. They stabilized the front by summer and then launched hastily prepared counterattacks at the Tobol River. After some initial success, they were decisively defeated and the defeat turned into a rout. They could not reform the line and were basically chased all the way back to Lake Baikal, when the Japanese intervened. Essentially, the Siberian Whites had launched an offensive before they were fully prepared or recovered from the previous battles, presumably to help the Southern White Armies, and it shattered their army.

Fascinating stuff. Not something we learn about in too much detail. I never knew the allies held parts of the Karelia-Arkhangelsk-Murmansk region. What was the status of the areas in the North Caucasus when they had black borders, like at 0:46 for example? Were they independent states?
Yes, those Caucasus states enjoyed few yeras of independence back then before being conquered back by Russian regime.
Most action packed civil war ever
Everyone: * fails to invade Russia *
Russians: Fine, i'll do it myself
It was a liberation from obsolete classes.

May I make a recommendation to redo this video, but focus in on specific regions? For example, I'm reading a book taking place in Kyiv during the Russian Civil War, and having a zoom in on the conflict there would be interesting, and just show how complex some the civil war was in some areas.
Title: Russian civil war
Reality: Shows the Finnish civil war as well
Dang that’s epic!
The whole of Europe has exploded! In Germany, in Hungary, the revolution, In France, it was necessary to shoot at the rebellious soldiers, the French sailors standing in Russia raised a riot, Poland began a bourgeois liberation war, in Finland the Red Fins and the bourgeois government supported by German troops were seized, the Civil War in the Baltic States, the civil war in Persia,the Irish Revolution...
Bankers and capitalists have become hated by everyone.

Western front should be considered separately with a higher scale. There were more participiants than shown on this map. Anarkhist army made a great influence. Poland was not a part of White forces.
Yeah, true. Poland is shown wrong here.
"White forces and ALLIES"
Poland weren't allies with whites neither, until 1920 they were more like bolsheviks allies
@Icarus Helios and they both had war and that’s how the poles always have a bad relationship with the russians
2:35 that escalated quickly
Before, during, and after the "Miracle on the Vistula" in Poland, Denikin and later Wrengel still held Crimea, which for some reason isn't shown on the map. Great video though!
