The Russian Revolution of 1917 was followed by the Russian Civil War, pitting "Red" against "White" and, ultimately, resulting in the establishment of the Soviet Union. How did people react? What did they think? Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Social conflict -- Soviet Union -- History -- Sources HISTORY.
