Season 13 Episode 6: Outbreak of the Russian Civil War 1917-18

Following the Bolshevik takeover, the communist government under Vladimir Lenin wanted to end Russia's participation in the First World War, transform the country and carry the revolution abroad. But Anti-Bolshevik resistance took hold all over the country and across the political spectrum. Many former parts of the Russian Empire also declared independence and received support from the major powers. There would be no peace and the Russian Civil War had begun.
