1919 saw Anton Denikin and his white army advancing towards Moscow. Meanwhile first round of Polish-Soviet War ended. Piłsudski decided not to support Denikin, as Denikin found Polish independence highly incoventient and Ukrainian independence totally out of the question. At that time Piłsudski thought that Bolshevik Russia would be less dangerous than resurgent White Russia.
But what if Denikin is willing to make concessions (either sincere or just diplomatic ploys to gain Polish support)? Would it be plausible to organise a coordinated offensive? Just how influencial Polish support would be? Extra soldiers would be welcomed, but on the other hand Polish Army operating in Russia proper would provoke "defend the homeland" response from Russian population. Also note, that Entente would be much more willing to finance Polish army, if it would cooperate with White forces.
Thoughts?
