Hi everybody.
I’ve recently discovered this forum and I’ve read some really amazing TL. Hence, before throwing myself into the fray with my own project, I would rather ask:
Is there somewhere in the depths of this forum an Alternate History wherein the Whites win the Civil War?
There is the of course the excellent Ungern-Sternberg TL (don’t remember the exact title), but this is not quite what I’m looking for. I’m thinking about a victory of straight Russian anti-Bolsheviks forces:
- Either during the summer 1918 (Denikin decides to go North and join with Komoutch-Czech forces instead of going for a second Kuban campaign in the South).
- Or in the Autumn 1919 (the all-out offensive launched by the same Denikin is victorious, for some reasons. Maybe Ioudenitch manages to seal a deal with Mannerheim’s Finland).
- Or we can even go for an earlier turning point, with Kornilov not dying in the winter 1918 and turning into some kind of dictator after winning the Civil. (But I actually don't see exactly how Kornilov alive would turn decisively the outcome. It's more just to have the guy in the TL).
Either option would obviously have a lot of consequences on Russia’s history.
So, what do you people think about that ? If there is already a similar TL, I would be pleased to read it in order not to plagiarise it unknowingly. If not, I’m of course welcoming suggestions and advices!
