Abstract

Wars are terrible tragedies and civil wars may be the most terrible of all wars, and the Russian the most terrible of those. Russia lost seven million lives in World War I and the revolutions preceding the Russian Civil War. During the course of the Civil War, countless more lives were lost. Possibly of more lasting importance, the principles of the vanquished party in a Civil War are lost seemingly forever, while
the tenets which the victorious hold dear, become unassailable during their rule.
