The Russian Civil War: Every Other Day

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.

FINALLY finished. I wanted to include a speech from the White forces but I couldn't find any. Enjoy! Also special thanks to GalacticPenguinTV for letting me use his info on the White Russian invasion of Mongolia and the Bolshevik invasion of Transcaucasia.

When nobody conquers you for hundreds of years
Russia: "fine, i'll do it myself"

[FreezepondMapping]

Isn't it odd to think about a time when Czechoslovaks and Japanese had met face to face during a time of war?

[shanelewis]

Bolsheviks: "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie."

I like how Czechoslovaks conguered whole Trans-Siberian Railway in winter

[EzraB]

Wow someone actually managed to conquer Russia.
It was the Russians, lol.

[imperatorcaesardivifiliusa]

Pretty sure they captured all the victory points, why haven't they capitulated?

[baathismarabunity]

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.

Can we just appreciate how good this is animated?

And how entertaining this is?

1) Crimea was under control of white forces from june 1919 to november of 1920.
2) Why anarchist territories are shown in white? They weren't neutral

Меня прикалывает всегда одна ситуация, когда красные прижали белых к Монгольской границе, белым отступать некуда и они такие:"пфф пошли Монголию хоть захватим" и захватывают:)

One of the most complicated conflicts in history.

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

[galacticpenguintv]

Wow, this is beyond all expectations! Fantastic work, Tigerstar. I'm glad I could help you with researching this war.

1:01 The Romanovs are murdered in Yekaterinburg due to the imminent seizure of the city by the Czechoslovak Legion (in green) that is advancing via the Trans-Siberian Railway. The Legion arrives one week later.

Interesting fact: Lenin's phrase in the beginning is actually from the 1937 film named Lenin in October, It's unknown what Lenin really said

[Popmanpraise]

2:36 did somebody say... *Blitzkrieg* ?
