The dissolution of the Russian Empire gave rise of many new states. Even after the Russian Civil War several countries like Poland, Finland and the Baltic states remained non-Red.
Could the Reds have focused more on taking control of the Western states, the earlier mentioned non-Red states? And allowed a new White state in Far East and/or Siberia?
Perhaps even an earlier Manchukuo, compromising the whole of Manchuria?
Would the Whites go for this? Or where they solely focused on taking control of the whole of Russia? After all they were not even united in their plans.
If allowed, could they even feed themselves? Where were the agrarian regions at that time?
I apologize if these are stupid questions, but I lack a general understanding of the location and time period.
