Maybe the Tzar was popular, but the revolution, even in the country, tells the tzarism was no longer popular with peasants. The peasants weren't the revolutionaries. With most people it wasn't the monarchy they were dissatisfied with as much as it was the monarch . Only small minority of white want...

local families' patriarchs could rule like little despots without any control of the violences and the old generations always tried to lock and keep the youth quiet and steady inside the village, opposing the departure and any new things from outside. This could in a way describe the villages in Ru...

The train Luxembourg Rose has always been my favorite for some reasoning. (Armoured train 10)

I don't mean to get personal Eriss but I think you're idealizing the Makhnovists a lot... Their main activity during the civil war was looting and killing people as far as I am concerned. It's not because they were better organized than most bandit gangs roaming the country side at the time that th...

Peasant were living in democratic courts: the soviets. Anarchists helped them organising to be less selfish and think in unity of all soviets, rather than just the village. It wasn't the utopia you are making it seem, not all villages lived like this, and it wasn't universallly accepted. A big prob...

I wish I could write on English better, I have a lot to say in this topic, but can not find best english words. But the point being made about Whites not having plan to run country, just worrying about war was why i meant earlier saying Reds were in best position if they won war. As andatiep said pe...

Василеостровск

How so? If whites had won early, a Kadet and SR government would have been elected, as it was before the war. If whites had won late, a firm right-wing dictatorship would have been the most likely outcome. Anyway, the internal conflicts among the whites were no way strong enough to provoke an armed...

I don't see how the Bolsheviks won my mind. I have no love of them, i am orthodox, i give money for memorials to victims of Bolsheviks, but if they were defeated all other factions would be fighting for years to come. Bolsheviks were the only strong enough to eventually control all. Which is of cour...

Then all is agreeable

I enjoy link, and enjoy irony of this photo:

Edit: the irony is they have "Soviet Champagne"

Василеостровск

First thing of all, I was speaking directly to ERISS over 1 week ago in specific context, not general context, we understood each others and we have since come to understanding and have moved on and had agreeable discussions since, you long tirade post was a little late in coming I thinks. I say wha...

But they were protesting! Something the Bolsheviks were good at pre1917. No? Well in simple language the Bolsheviks wanted what any political faction wants, control. When they were the revolutionaries revolting against the government, they encouraged protest and revolt, but by then they had become ...

Василеостровск

Suppressing the revolt was seen as wrong by many, a consequence of abuse of power from the Bolsheviks. From what I have read it was a revolt caused by the Bolshevik abuse of power and authority, i.e the Cheka. Is that democratic? I think this discussion belongs more in the historical debate section...

Its brilliant! It is more or less living history on the PC..seriously when a game invokes Trotsky, Lenin and the White leaders and pulls it off extremely well then it is game that will last and be respected for this, mainly because there has been NO other game like it. Kudos to AGEOD. I like that R...

Василеостровск

I have to agree with the general opinion, this is AGEOD's best game to date, and also the most accesible and easy to pick up. I was also over the moon to discover it works on my out of date pc without any problems! I bet this game is kick ass on PBEM! I find I get random CTD's, but the auto save is...

Can we have a high level lawful-good clerics cast massive heals on the front troops ? That would be awesome ! :cool: I'd rather just recruit St. Alexander Nevsky and have Boris and Gleb bless my troops. :wacko: As to point of thread, I like not having direct control of things, sometimes I find it i...

You think ?! The only photo I have of him from the civil war is with completely shaved head too. He was telling stories of soldiers or officers shaving their head and you could see the hair moving on the floor with so many lice in it! Talking about attrition.... I am happy you have photo and knew h...

One warning: Carey is a bit of a bigot, and his repeated put-downs of everything not American can become quite tedious if one is not American, or even if (in my case) he is American. Fortunately, they are not too frequent, and themselves cast an interesting light on the attitudes of educated Midwes...

No problem :-) I would move out the Army comander from the Cossack Army out first (has higher senority) so that the corps created subordinate to the southern whites Volunteers army ... this army has a much better Commander! I going to try this too, thank you for simple, but probably great advice :t...

What is the purpose may I ask ? :blink: My guess would be to change some of the spellings of names, some are transliterated differently depending on what language you speak. I need to do this since my computer is Russified, meaning when there are characters used with say, an accent mark, I get a cy...

I was just looking at names barbu said had no picture and looking on runet, admitting I know very little about caucasian aspect of war. I have been researching now though.

I had no part in selecting the music for the soundtrack, and though I can understand that music from outside the period might be a bit "misplaced", the most important things must surely be that the music suits the style and feel of the game? As an example of what didn't make the cut, there is the f...

Unfortunately I don't have time to find pictures at the moment, though I have thought of a way to help you looking for pictures on ru.net without speaking language. Maybe you have tried this? Type leader name in wikipedia, if he has entry in English and no picture on left hand side go down and click...

Ha! They are selling DVD-R of pirated songs for 300 RUR. But my question is what Russian can't find those songs on internet or in shkarf?
