In November of 1917 the Bolsheviks took power in a coup. What followed was a civil war to get power out of the Bolshevik's hands

    no, Albert Pikes 1871 letter on display in London until 1977, says flat out with 100% accuracy the British central banks (Bank/City of London, yes they have a DC like city/Country as does the Vatican and all 3 have the same monuments as DC). The war of 1812 was a seize fire not a win for the USA, it decided to join forces with England, being the world military might (until the one world order comes around 2050 or before they decided) Anyways this letter is only a page and the most famous freemason letter in HOSTORY It is right about all 3 world wars, meaning it was right about the Zionists and the Muslims destroying each other and it spreading around a globe where forced migration has caused culture instability on purpose. So he nailed WW3, WW1 was to "get the Czars that have rules Russia for centuries out of power, creating communism in this largest of territories, which will destroy religion and the family structure. Making sure that the State is the only god and that the people are promised equality when it will actually serve to be used as a master and serf system. WW2 was to destroy Nazism the English crown/USA scholars taught Eugenics/Genocide based on Darwinist ideology to Munich University in 1912 The Nuremburg trials never mention this in history but was discussed A LOT! It also says WW2 is to make sure an Israeli state is made in Palestine from the Zionist leaders of western countries and that a STRONG unelected world parliament, and the main goal of WW2 was to create a globe where communism and the western governments were equally strong and equal in territories. Read the letter. I just wrote almost all of it out of order lol

    I’m sorry to say but Cossacks were not “semi-nomadic”, they were a class of peasants who had additional obligations (military service) in exchange for larger freedoms and privileges compared to other peasants. There were no Cossacks in Ukraine by that time, but they lived on the Don, Kuban, Ural, Orenburg and other historical borderland regions of Russia. They did not want “independence from Russia”, they also participated in the civil war on all sides, but favoured the Whites (the monarchists) more. I can refer you to a great Russian novel of 20th century, a Nobel prize winner “And quietly flows the Don” by Mikhail Sholokhov, it is exactly about the civil war and the Don cossacks

    How did the Bolshevik faction become the majority in the Petrograd Soviet? It's very simple! The Soviets were elected from labor collectives and soldiers' units. As soon as people felt that the deputy did not express their will, they immediately held a meeting and re-elected the deputy. The Bolsheviks proposed: peace with Germany without annexations and indemnities, to lease land to peasants fairly, to introduce an eight-hour working day, vacations and a collective labor agreement for workers. Abolish estates and privileges, hold a Congress of People's Deputies and make Councils the main form of government. And voila! The people followed them. By the way, the first two laws passed by the Bolsheviks were: the Law on Peace (a proposal to put up with Germany and Austria-Hungary on the zero option) and the law on land - where it was prescribed to divide the landowner's land by consumers.

    Since WW2 a huge number of Russians had been fighting with Germans against Bolsheviks.Some of them were just cowerdly,but a lot of Russians had been fighting for Freedom of Russia. Other than that,the name of their army was "RLA"(Russian Liberation Army) that was operated by Andrei Vlasov who was a great commander in Soviet Army before 1942. To my mind,that was a completely dreadful moment in history when people from one nation were fighting against each other

Ukraine is by far the hardest to follow with Germans, Austrians, French, British in the mix of independence groups, anarchists, monarchist, left social revolutionaries, bolshevik and bandit warlords. Cities changing hands a number of times weird alliences with betrayals. Bloody and pitiless with more to come whoever took over.

    Both sides apparently tried to ‘out-psyche’ the other by inventing even worse torture methods than their opponent. This is how we got the Red and White Terrors. The people of Russia were absolutely brutalised in this war, with the leaders (Lenin, Trotsky, Denikin, Kolchak) having very little regard for human life. And so suffering was immense. Bearing in mind at the same time as the frontline war between the Whites and the Reds was taking place, the Bolsheviks had launched their war on the peasantry, a horrific campaign which basically terrorised the civilian rural population of Russia due to the fact Lenin saw them as combatants.

    That was it. The tragedy would go on for Russians whoever won as it was the survival of the most brutal. Trotsky introduced decimation into the army something from the Roman empire. Any group who could have brought a real end to it was crushed and if lucky gone into exile. Civil wars are the worst of wars but this was the worst of the worst.

    Why no mention of the critically important Jewish role in establishing the Bolshevik regime? The following lists of persons in the Bolshevik Party and Soviet administration during this period, which Wilton compiled on the basis of official reports and original documents, underscore the crucial Jewish role in these bodies. These lists first appeared in the rare French edition of Wilton's book, published in Paris in 1921 under the title Les Derniers Jours des Romanoffs. They did not appear in either the American or British editions of The Last Days of the Romanovs published in 1920. "I have done all in my power to act as an impartial chronicler," Wilton wrote in his foreword to Les Derniers Jours des Romanoffs. "In order not to leave myself open to any accusation of prejudice, I am giving the list of the members of the [Bolshevik Party's] Central Committee, of the Extraordinary Commission [Cheka or secret police], and of the Council of Commissars functioning at the time of the assassination of the Imperial family. "The 62 members of the [Central] Committee were composed of five Russians, one Ukrainian, six Letts [Latvians], two Germans, one Czech, two Armenians, three Georgians, one Karaim [Karaite] (a Jewish sect), and 41 Jews. "The Extraordinary Commission [Cheka or Vecheka] of Moscow was composed of 36 members, including one German, one Pole, one Armenian, two Russians, eight Latvians, and 23 Jews. "The Council of the People's Commissars [the Soviet .government] numbered two Armenians, three Russians, and 17 Jews. "According to data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik state, including the above-mentioned, in 1918-1919 there were: 17 Russians, two Ukrainians, eleven Armenians, 35 Letts [Latvians], 15 Germans, one Hungarian, ten Georgians, three Poles, three Finns, one Czech, one Karaim, and 457 Jews."

    There is no mention of the “jewish role” in establishing the bolshevik regime because it is at best a mischaracterization and at worst a right wing conspiracy used to try to delegitimize the Russian revolution. The problem with your source wilton was that he was a conspiracy theorist who blamed the death of the Romanovs on a jewish plot. One major problem is that the Romanovs were hated by more than just jews by this point so the idea that the romanovs were killed just because of the jews doesnt make any sense. Jews werent a monolith and many were loyal to their countries over judaism.
