Civil war in Russia: lessons learned and unlearned

138

The approaching anniversary of the end of one of the most tragic events in stories of our Fatherland - the Civil War, which has actually erupted since 1917, makes us think about what are the most important conclusions from those formidable days that our society has been able to draw for the century allotted to it and which lessons, alas, have remained unlearned. As you know, a misunderstanding of our own past may well lead to a repetition of it, but each of us would like the least like that ...

First of all, it is necessary to recognize that we began to approach literally most recently to a more or less objective and balanced understanding of events and people of that extremely ambiguous period. It so happened that for a very long time they were interpreted as extremely one-sided and tendentious. In the days of the Soviet Union, for obvious reasons, the representatives of the Red Camp were considered to be the heroes and the “right side” of the Civil. Their opponents exhibited the embodiment of evil and all kinds of vices. Sometimes in an exaggerated demonized form, sometimes in a frankly caricature. What to do, winners always write history ...



Later, after 1991, a distinct “skew” quite naturally went in the opposite direction. In the country that exploded along the path of “de-communization”, “commissars in dusty helmets” began to be exhibited almost by the devil of hell, and representatives of the white movement were portrayed as exclusively noble and exalted guardians of Russia and martyrs for her. Fortunately, now the desire to think and comprehend the great turmoil of the twentieth century in all its diversity and complexity began to take over. Although on some forums in Runet, no, no, and stumble upon the collisions of the “white” with the “red”, where commentators are clearly not averse to moving from words to chopping with sabers and shooting from Nagans ...

This, perhaps, is the first and one of the most important lessons: in such an intricate issue as the armed conflict of people of the same blood, of the same faith, of one land, one can never “smear” one or the other side (by the way, in our Civil not two at all, but much more) with any one paint, anathematizing some and almost deifying others. That was the main tragedy of the Russian fratricidal warfare that it brought together people, the vast majority of whom earnestly and sincerely wished the highest good to their land and their people. They just saw this very good in completely different ways. And they were ready for their beliefs not only to die, but, alas, to kill.

Another important lesson, which I want to believe, has been firmly learned: any civil war is beneficial primarily to the external enemies of the state, of which Russia had a great many hundred years ago. Today, however, their number has not decreased at all. In the early twentieth century, the British and the Americans and their then allies unequivocally benefited from the Russian unrest. And the point here is not only in the regiments of the interventionists who stomped our land then, but in the collapse of the great empire, which had to be revived in blood and torment. This is what we should always remember: arranging a “showdown” in our own house, we set it on fire for the joy of those who slept and saw that our Motherland was on fire, but could not arrange it on our own. The geopolitical defeat of the country that allowed it within its own borders always and inevitably serves as the price of civil war.

And perhaps the main conclusion and lesson: in a civil war, no matter how noble and fair goals it may be fought, there are no winners. Imagine this is exactly so. Only the vanquished remain - with terrible scars on their bodies and souls, which inherit a country devastated to the ground, a land saturated with the blood of compatriots and hatred, taking its poisonous roots for many generations. Factories and roads can be rebuilt, fields sown again ... But what to do with families where the son was forced to confront his father, and his brother - to go with weapons on brother? In our country, the terrible consequences of all this began to be smoothed out, perhaps, only during the years of World War II, which united in a common hatred of foreign invaders and yesterday's whites, and reds, and party, and non-partisans.

It is this lesson that should finally be learned by all those who today are no, no, and they are trying to call Russia for a revolution and, in fact, a civil conflict as a means of solving certain problems. Russia has survived many disasters that have fallen on its mighty shoulders for centuries, and is able to withstand even the most difficult trials. However, unrest, schism, fratricide should not be repeated on our land ever.

    Oh, what a controversial thesis! And what was their clear win at the end of the Civil War ?!
    The geopolitical defeat of the country that allowed it within its borders always and inevitably serves as the reckoning for a civil war.
    How much pathos in this phrase has merged! And what is the geopolitical defeat, again, let me ask, at the time of the end of the Civil War?
    It is this lesson that should finally be learned by all those who today are no, no, and they are trying to call Russia to revolution
    This lesson should finally be learned not by those who call for a revolution, but by those who create a pre-revolutionary situation in the country, who do not give a damn about the opinion of their people and their aspirations. For the cause of revolutions and the Civil War in the last century were precisely those who held power, and the revolutionaries themselves were only the result of the ill-conceived actions of officials of all stripes in general and the anointed man himself with his household, in particular.

        And who is calling for a revolution and a civil war? I do not know such! Moreover, the authorities ordered criminal prosecution for this.

        But here are similar articles and discussions that we do not need revolution and civil war - more than enough! What is it for?

        In a society with severe social inequality, the government itself, through its actions, leads the country to social disagreement and conflict.

              Ha, Europe needs them as a dog’s fifth leg! They are beneficial to Europe as long as they are in power and while they help Europe to pump resources from Russia at a low price. And if they give them a kick, Europe will quickly turn away from them, their capital will be withdrawn and they will rummage around in garbage cans, as it was after 1917.

Is bleaching of Kolchak (and other white generals just around the corner) this is the point of this article? Although he shed as much blood as we have even at all times the repression was not shed. So you need to burn all the archives with facts and photos of the atrocities, destroy the victims' monuments, and put up Kolchak? They call it reconciliation. So comrades, or how do you now, Lord, fail ????? Pandora’s box they will not close it.

            It should be noted that the Yeltsin capitalist coup in 1991 occurred bloodlessly.
            But Yeltsin himself, in 1993, in the struggle for power, was ready to drown Russia in blood - from tanks, in the center of Moscow, he fired at the parliament. And still has not been held responsible for this! This is nothing but the hypocritical position of the authorities.

            It turns out that it is possible to shoot cannons at the people’s representatives if you yourself are one of the branches of government and ultimately prove to be the winner.

            Pandora's box has long been opened by the Bolsheviks and their aftermaths. It was they, the Bolsheviks, who claimed and are claiming infallibility. They, the Bolsheviks and their followers do not want to try on. Like the old monster is looking for someone to devour. They say the war is not over until its last soldier is buried. In our place on Red Square lies her last soldier, who is not repose according to Christian custom, and he is also the ideological executioner of millions of subjects of the Empire Ulyanov-Lenin.

                  It's certainly not for you to talk about honor, where the Bulkokhrusts have honor, normal people have a fifth point. All your "honor" has been reduced to the sale of the Motherland. First, the Entente sold out, then the Germans, now the Americans. One word is selling skins.

                  Dear Andrey. Brief essence of the Civil War in Russia: part of the country's population, after the collapse of the Monarchy, wanted to preserve their privileges: "do nothing and live for your pleasure", and most of the population of Russia was against these privileges: "who does not work, he does not eat" ... And since the opponents of privileges were in the majority, they won. Hence your phrase: "They, the Bolsheviks and their followers do not want to be reconciled." - This is a wrong interpretation of the events of the Civil War.

                    Correct if I am mistaken, but it seems that the Bolsheviks did not overthrow the monarchy, but the republic, specifically established with the Socialist Revolutionary majority.

                      “Correct if I'm wrong, but it seems that the Bolsheviks overthrew not the monarchy, but the republic, specifically the constituent assembly with the Socialist-Revolutionary majority.” - Your phrase.
                      Correct, I did not write that the Bolsheviks overthrew the Monarchy. The beginning of the collapse of the Bourgeois Republic was the rebellion of General Kornilov.
                      "... On August 26 (September 8), 1917, General Kornilov made an attempt to assume full power to fight against" irresponsible organizations "... On August 27 (September 9), 1917 Kerensky called General Kornilov's actions a mutiny, announced his withdrawal from positions and appointed himself Supreme Commander-in-Chief .... Kerensky authorized the issuance of weapons to the Bolshevik Red Guards for the fight against the Kornilovites.The All-Russian Central Executive Committee formed the Committee for the Popular Struggle against the Counter-Revolution, which mobilized up to 60 thousand people to fight the Kornilovites; Bolshevik agitators were sent to meet the advancing soldiers. The railroad workers also spoke out against Kornilov.On August 30 (September 12), 1917, the Provisional Government pardoned the Bolsheviks, and on September 3 (16), 1917, Trotsky was released from the Kresty.
                      The Kornilovites were defeated, because the troops of the 3rd Cavalry Corps, promoted by the Bolsheviks, refused to continue their movement to Petrograd. Kornilov and his associates were arrested, and Krymov shot himself .... The cadets, in solidarity with General Kornilov, resigned, causing another government crisis. .... By November 1917, the inability of the Provisional Government to cope with the growing anarchy becomes obvious. The army of the belligerent country is rapidly falling apart; in February-November 1917, up to 1,5 million people deserted. The surplus-appropriation policy failed, the norms of bread in Petrograd and Moscow were reduced to 0,5 pounds per person per day. The strike movement in the cities and the squatting of landowners' lands in the villages increased sharply. Against this background, the "Bolshevization of the Soviets" is taking place, actively proceeding in August-October 1917. By the beginning of November 1917, the Bolsheviks occupied up to 90% of the seats in the Petrograd Soviet, up to 60% in the Moscow one, and most of the seats in the 80 local Soviets of large industrial cities. On September 17 (30), 1917, the Bolshevik V.P. Nogin became the chairman of the Moscow Soviet; on September 25 (October 8), 1917, Trotsky, who was already the chairman of the Petrograd Soviet in 1905, became the chairman of the Petrograd Soviet. Soldiers' committees, primarily the Northern and Western Fronts, the Petrograd garrison and Tsentrobalt, went over to the side of the Bolsheviks. At the II Congress of the Baltic Fleet deputies, a resolution was adopted stating that the fleet “does not obey the government,” the Bolshevik-Left Socialist-Revolutionary Central Committee of the Baltic Fleet was elected. ... "
                      "... By October 1917, the power was simply lying on the ground, and it was picked up by the most organized, armed and disciplined force - the Bolshevik Party, says State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Nikonov. He stated this on October 25 on the air of the 60 Minutes program on the channel "Russia 1" .... "Details: https://regnum.ru/news/polit/2338624.html
                      And what about Admiral Kolchak? He was a supporter of privileges and defended the interests of private property. "... If you divide the life of Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak into two parts, you get a contrasting image: before and after the throne of the supreme ruler of Russia. Before is an incredible life story of a romantic, traveler, pioneer scientist, brave officer and an extraordinary admiral. The ruler of Siberia Kolchak left an ambiguous memory. Cruel, nervous, hysterical. He tried to collect taxes over the past years, as if he really imagined himself a tsar. His troops burned villages, took hostages, executed and flogged those who disagreed. ... "

                        Hmm.
                        You rarely see a person of pro-Bolshevik views who is ready to move on slogans to facts.

                        By "raised the power." You are absolutely right. Russia was given to the Bolsheviks by the headquarters, Kerensky and Chernov. But you have somewhat moved away from the statist topic. Who, you say, wanted to keep the privileges, Kerensky? What are the privileges?
                        According to Kolchak. So privileges: "do nothing and live for your own pleasure" - is it about him? Which of the famous white movement leaders with arms in your hands specifically fought for their right to lead a parasitic lifestyle?
                        According to Voikov. He is firmly associated with the shooting of the family, but this, I remember, was comrade Yurovsky. He shot, then, Mr. Romanov, class distant grand kneshen, Tsarevich, doctor and valet, class close cook and maid. I would like to open the topic of the struggle with privileges. Specifically, the example of A.S. Demidova.

                        Among the nobles there were many people with progressive views who understood: the exploitation of man by man is a dead end for the development of civilization. About privileges, I said simplified (meaning estate). And so all the NORTHERNS had privileges by birth: to be a military man (career in the army) or to be an official (career in the civil service). Workers and peasants, who were the majority in Russia, the path to the upper floors of the authorities was closed. What do you want to hear from me? I have my own system of values ​​of the surrounding world, which was instilled in me by Parents, School, Army, University, etc. You have it different. We are adults, we can’t re-educate us.

                  As long as I remember,

                  Do you write something from the grave? After the October Revolution of 1917, the Entente organized an armed intervention against Soviet Russia - on December 23, 1917, Great Britain and France signed an agreement. In March 1918, the Entente intervention began, but the campaigns against Soviet Russia ended in failure. The goals that the Entente set for itself were achieved after the defeat of Germany in the First World War, but the strategic alliance between the leading countries of the Entente, Great Britain and France, continued in the following decades. I did not want to be their slaves. Judging by the history of the school the scripture wasn’t very good? Well, that’s understandable. Was the Soviet government banned and acted like a red rag on a bull? Well, at least here you will increase your knowledge. The general political and military leadership of the bloc’s activities in different periods was carried out: By the All-Union Conferences (1915, 1916, 1917, 1918), the Entente Supreme Council, the Inter-Union (Executive) Military Committee, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, the General Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the Commanders-in-Chief and the headquarters of individual theaters of war. This is to the one to whom Kolchak was subordinate.

                    Therefore, Antata, which is very characteristic of her, fought not with her new enemies, the Soviet government, but with her old enemies, Germany and a number of puppet states created by the latter on the lands of the former RI. In the North, the intervention of the Entente did not allow the finals, at that time pro-German, to keep the territory of Karelia. In the South, the intervention of the Entente helped the One and Indivisible on the one hand and the Bolsheviks on the other hand to strangle the UPR. In the Baltic, the notorious Curzon line did not limit the territorial claims of the RSFSR to the West, but, on the contrary, Poland to the East. Poland, however, sent Curzon away.

                      The Allies, and especially the British, generously supplied Kolchak with ammunition, weapons and money. “We sent to Siberia,” General Knox, the commander of the British troops in Siberia, proudly reported, “hundreds of thousands of rifles, hundreds of millions of cartridges, hundreds of thousands of sets of uniforms and machine-gun belts and etc. Each bullet fired by Russian soldiers into the Bolsheviks during this year was made in England, by English workers, from English raw materials and delivered to Vladivostok in English holds. ”

                        Formally The Entente supported Kolchak United and Indivisible Russia. Actually Entente’s actions crushed any Bolshevik projects, and the White movement was originally a political corpse. Actually, Kolchak’s fate is an example of this.

                        Later, in the late 40s, Comrade Stalin, a very insincere man, invented all sorts of nasty things about American interventionists. And at that time, it was the Entente that preserved for the Bolsheviks Murmansk, Ukraine with Belarus, Transcaucasia / Central Asia and Transbaikalia.

              It depends on what is considered "does not correctly repeat". In terms of strengthening power by the security forces, yes, I agree here. And I think that the government should not be weak, especially in Russia. BUT, ALL mistakes must be taken into account and only then the state will be strong. If the people for the most part do not support the state, or at least treat it neutrally, then such a state is short-lived. Despite all the efforts of the security officials, if the people go against it, then no force will keep the state from collapse. So the state is strong first of all with the support of the people.
              If the people so hated the Bolsheviks, as Olgovich and Co. are trying to suggest to us here, then they would not have supported the government in 1941, as he had not supported it in 1917.

                  It is not clear who to understand by the people
                  And who should be understood by the concept of people? Let me guess, probably lousy intelligentsia, about which grandfather Lenin said that this is not a color, but a ram of a nation?
                  merchants, parasites, hucksters, office workers,
                  Somehow you all famously under the same comb and face in the manure. Do you think that you can do without traders? I didn’t meet parasites, but people who cannot find decent work for themselves are full.
                  So it turns out that the main protest contingent is citizens in expensive coats, citizens in mink coats and stupid youngsters who have joined them, so to speak, the shock force of the revolution.
                  This is precisely the contingent that our government is completely satisfied with in order to make it appear like democracy and at the same time distract the real people from thoughts of rebellion! But when the miners with the casts go out into the street, then put out the light. All of your shushera will run away to someone where.
                  To disperse all this motley audience is easy, it would be a desire.
                  It was necessary to disperse in 1991, then you look and there would be no millions that did not fit into the market.

          The revolution and the Civil War are not generated by revolutionaries and people, they are generated by anti-people bourgeois predatory power and capitalists who exploit the people to the impossibility of further people suffering their plight. This is an axiom of social development of the state.
          Does the author really not understand this, calling for the reconciliation of the antagonistic classes that exist in any exploiting society? Or is there a banal development for a certain political order for money? Most likely the second.

        It is this lesson that should finally be learned by all those who today are no, no, and they are trying to call Russia for a revolution and, in fact, a civil conflict as a means of solving certain problems. Russia has survived many disasters that have fallen on its mighty shoulders for centuries, and is able to withstand even the most difficult trials. However, unrest, schism, fratricide should not be repeated on our land ever.

        Situations are completely different .. even if there is a revolution .. then a brother will not go for a brother this time .. For the nouveau riches are fading for the cordon so quickly that only the heels will sparkle .. Society now will not be so divided, because it already knows that such is the USSR and socialism, society knows where justice was and in what state retirees were valued, and did not seek to get rid of them. For these reasons (and in fact there are many more), you do not need to compare that situation and this .. As soon as five million people go out into the street in Moscow .. The authorities will leave immediately with a white flag ..

        First of all, the authorities need to think, think and not bring the situation to a boiling point.

        Hello Sergey!

        103 years ago Russia led the worst, the worst in its history, the war against the German-Turkish invaders.

        And the authorities in 1917 were the same as before the war and no revolution before the war, there wasn’t even a trace.

        Accordingly, it was the war, namely, its deprivation and its hardships, that weakened the country, power, and the situation of the population.
        Is it normal to take advantage of the country's weakness, in every way etching wounds, rejoicing and welcoming defeats, calling for ... the victory of the invaders - to achieve their party goals? I don’t think so.

        The author is absolutely right that must not arrange bloody showdowns among themselves, weakening the country and people: no winners except enemies

        The main lesson is the understanding that there is no other way, except that the people choose their representatives, and even they in the Duma let them fight to each other to death in search of a compromise, without involving millions into brutal, senseless killing.
        Otherwise, the country is thrown back decades ago, this is a terrible lesson from ALL citizen wars.

        Today they won and decide alone, tomorrow, after the next election, others may be decisive.
        Nothing better still human society didn't come up...

        There was such a chance in 1918 popularly elected Constituent Assembly of Russia.

        The chance was missed, and instead of paper "battles" of deputies in the Assembly, a real massacre of millions unfolded in the fields, where everyone had their own truth ...

          The fact that in terms of the scope of 1902, and especially 1905 did not turn into 1917, is only that the world war began in 1914, and not earlier.

      In the early twentieth century, the British and the Americans and their then allies unequivocally benefited from the Russian unrest.
      Oh, what a controversial thesis! And what is their clear win was at the time of the end of the Civil War ?!

      Yes, the shaft of wins, the shaft .... !!!!
      1) Russia was excluded from the list of winners. Reparations were shared without us, but there was something to share:
      "Following the results of the First World War, the Versailles Peace Treaty was concluded, according to which the amount of reparations was determined: 269 ​​billion gold marks - the equivalent of approximately 100 tons (!!!!!!!!) of gold."
      Moreover
      "After World War II and the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, the Foreign Ministers of the United States, Britain and France obliged her return to paying off debts under the Treaty of Versailles. "
      Divide 100 tons of gold 4 or 3 - there is something to think about ...
      for scanty pennies compared to this dough - they smashed Libya to hell with the dog ...
      2) They took out a competitor - Russia from the world market ..... completely .... for 20 years at least ...
      And they took out both a commercial competitor and a political one ....
      3) They appropriated the personal money of Nicholas 2 (including the stones in the British crown). I am 101% sure that this was the main reason why England did not accept it. If I wanted, they would load it and take it to some Australia / Canada / New Zealand .. .. There was no desire; the matter went to the obvious death of Nikolasha and the sharing of his money
      4) The division of the gold of the Russian Empire is not very much, but even here it’s gone too far. For example, Czechs paid them to export themselves from the Far East ... little thing, but nice ...
      5) Non-delivery of already paid goods - both military and civil
      6) The division of goods in the occupied territory, the export of everything and everything, to which hands reached ...
      7) It could well hope in the territory .... broke off - but it IS OUR afterglow, and they could well snatch and robust new colonies
      8) money that was abroad of Russia - state and accounts of legal entities of Russia - who did not give it away saying that they say "they do not recognize the RSFSR as the legal successor"
      9) trade only for real values ​​at clearly lower prices
      10) and so on ......

      This is offhand, what immediately came to mind ... but there was still a car there were pluses for these three vultures ...

                      19 million members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, a 5 million Soviet army, at least a million internal troops and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not to mention the powerful KGB with seksots, in 1991-92. betrayed their native USSR without firing a single shot. Where did the leading communists and Chekists go, maybe they formed the Volunteer Army as the Whites did? To fight for your beloved Soviet Motherland? For the native Soviet power, for socialism, for the united and indivisible USSR? Far from it, they started privatization, moved from district and regional committees to offices. The same applies to the mass of rank-and-file Soviet patriots who like "snatch" and who hate "anti-popular" power. There is not a single case known when they went to the Soviet partisans.
                      But the fact remains, the Soviet patriots committed mass treason.
                      Whites even fought, but unlike the Soviet "we all owe it."

    “Melgunov correctly writes:“ The success of a revolution, as all historical experience has shown, always depends not so much on the strength of the explosion, but on the weakness of resistance. ”Back in the 1848th century, all authorities recognized that all street revolutions after XNUMX were over, the era of urban uprisings has passed, the modern weaponry of states does not allow the crowd to win street battles.

              Me too. When discussing the revolution flowing into the civil war, it is impossible to circumvent the counter-revolution of the 90s.

              We have about 2 thousand, if not more, unresolved problems between the republics of Russia and other territorial associations, incl. if we start, the events in Ukraine will seem to be a showdown for children in the sandbox. This cannot be allowed. We may well change the power that we do not like in an evolutionary way.

    Forgot what the reason is the Civil Wars ???

    The old elite, having released power from its hands, simply does not want to peacefully give it to the new one, if there is power.

    But in the 90s there was no strength, it was rotten and repainted by the moment.
    And in 18m there were forces, the military was full of elites, and there is something to lose.
    So do others, amers, yapes, English and francs, Spanish ... - the most famous cases .... sometimes several times ....

    The road to socialism should be built taking into account the experience of the former state. This is both positive and negative experience. I am opposed to rash decisions. Those who call for the return of the former state take full responsibility for the fate of the people. The outcome of the civil war has already taken place and there is nothing revise them.
