Leaders of the Russian Civil War

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The leaders of the Russian Civil War listed below include the important political and military figures of the

Head of State of Russia. In addition to the two primary factions, the war also involved a number of third parties, including the anarchists of the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine, and the non-ideological Green Armies
.

Unlike the Bolsheviks and the White Movement, the various third-party factions which took part in the conflict did not form a united front and often fought against each other as much as they fought against the larger belligerents, occasionally forming alliances when convenient, and breaking them almost as often. For instance, the

independence movements took the opportunity to break free from Russian control in the aftermath of the collapse of the Russian Empire
, primarily fighting against the Bolsheviks, as well as against the White armies on occasion.
