IOTL, in 1920, at the tail end of the Russian Civil War, there was a short-lived menshevik/white russian state estabilished in the Crimean Peninsula. It was overrun slightly later by the bolsheviks. My main question is: could it survive?
Looking back at that time period, i think that one of the main detriments to an exiled menshevik state in southern Ukarine or Crimea was that the soviet-friendly Turkish Republic had kicked Greece (and, thus, Britain and France) out of the Marmara Straits. Perhaps an early greek victory in the Greco-Turkish War could have freed up the straits for british and french shipping, which could have theoretically helped the crimean white russians?
