The rifle you drew for the Russians is the M38/M44, the carbine versions of the longer standard Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle, which, as the names suggest, were not produced until 1938 and 1944 respectively. Instead, the standard Russian Mosin-Nagant M91 should have been used as it was fielded from 1891 - roughly 1930. This is not to take away from the rest of the video. I think it was very well done.

1:50 Not so true. The Legion did not have much time to fight the Germans, since it was still being formed when the peace treaty have been signed. Technically, the Czechoslovaks became part of the French army (if I'm not mistaken), since the Russian Empire no longer existed, and the new Russia withdrew from the war. Thus, the French army of 40-50,000 people was in the center of Russia. Well, and most importantly - there was NO CIVIL WAR before the Czechoslovaks started it (some said that because of the politicians of France, who forced them to go against the Bolsheviks). Everything described began AFTER the "rebellion" of the Czechoslovaks against the Bolsheviks. But we do not blame them for this. We blame them for other things: They stole much part of our gold supply. They made mass murder of bolsheviks and workers along the way. Yeah, we "love" czechoslovak legion.

It’s an interesting but ignored event in history. Western European countries didn’t want to participate in the Russian Civil War because…World War Ⅰ had just ended, and the armies and their cost were dismantled. It’s rarely mentioned that Lenin was in Galicia, Poland, Ukraine, and Switzerland during World War Ⅰ and used by Germany, who transported him to Russia to cause trouble for the benefit of Germany. This led to the Bolshevik Revolution, which influenced decisions at the Paris Conference of 1919 and the Treaty of Versailles. Apparently, Czechoslovakia was well represented, primarily by the Czechs, but the Slovaks were less enthusiastic. Several Eastern European groups garnered favour by saying they weren’t Bolshevik or socialist, so they were used as barriers. Oh, and the countries and the borders they created had many problems, such as the inclusion of people who were seen to be German who were then “liberated” by Adolf in the late 1930s. In hindsight, it can be easy to see how the armistice of 1918 led to World War Ⅱ, but most people didn’t see it with the Treaty of Versailles.

the civil war in Russia was the goal and reason why Lenin was sent by train to Russia from Germany - the plan to have Russia occupied and at peace with Germany lasted only as long as Lenin was alive, but then Stalin...

So... it's entirely possible that if Graves had understood the "quiet part" better, maybe, just maybe, the White Army could have won and the USSR would have never happened. I know that's a major oversimplification, but it is always facinating to examine the fulcrum points where the world could have been changed so dramatically!

Whites sealed their fate when they dismantled the Provisional Government. Without it, they were just an army without a country, brutalizing and alienating the peasants they're supposedly protecting from the Reds.

@@raidang but Ukraine was an independant country at the time. The Russian Empire seized to exist in 1917, because the RSFSR was founded. Ukraine was recognized as a souvereign country by the both the Central Powers and the RSFSR. The Soviet Union as the new empire was founded after 5 years of war in 1922 because the RSFSR invaded Ukraine and installed there a puppet regime. Basically the exact same thing that happens today. The RSFSR now just calls itself RF. Also the time between the fall of the old empire and the inception of the new one is now longer (34+ years) compared to back then (5 years). It's basically the same. Based on your argument we must call the current Russo-Ukrainian-War the "Soviet Civil War", because it takes place on the territory of the former Soviet Empire...

@@funki4896 that still doens't change the fact that the Russian civil war happened within the territory of Russian Empire.. the Ukraine that u speak of is just another break away state from Russia just like there was countless other break away states happening during the civil war like Yakutia , far East Siberia, Beylarussia , Transcaucases , Tanu Tuva etc .. Ukraine was just another break away state during this civil war and the Bolsheviks just retook what they lost although after the civil war ended they temporary lost the Baltic provinces and permanently lost Finland and Poland.. the Baltics was regain after WW2 but Poland and Finland were permanently split from Russia

Русская зима, водка, хорошие и плохие русские... Больше похоже на сборник стереотипов, чем на видео про историю. Вы говорили что другие страны пришли в Россию чтобы что-то сделать, а что они хотели сделать? Вы немного сказали лишь про США и Британию. А остальные? В видео много упущений. Даже основная тема про американцев в России плохо раскрыта. Поэтому мне не понравилось.

Russia is the only place you cannot invade. You could start at the beginning of spring to attack and wouldn't make it halfway through by the time winter settles in. Large territory and winter are the most effective defenses of the Russian people. Napoleon and Hitler learned that lesson the hard way

Modern day I don't think we'd have any trouble in a conventional war with the airforce, modern land vehicles winterizing so much better and the speed of mass transport for goods and construction nowadays. The real reason we can't nowadays are the nukes, and only through inevitability of deployment would we swarm and the genuine will to take it over will it ever happen
