With a POD after the February Revolution, how can we get a Russian Civil War between:

  • A socialist and republican revolutionary coalition government on one side (at a minimum it must represent an alliance of the Left SRs, Bolsheviks, and Mensheviks, with maybe the anarchists and a few Right SRs too) called the 'Reds';
  • A reactionary and counterrevolutionary movement of militarists, Tsarist officers, aristocrats, monarchists, conservatives, liberal business interests (Kadets, etc), industrialists, Great Russian and Orthodox chauvinists, Black Hundreds, Cossacks, etc, called the 'Whites'; and
  • Ethnic nationalist separatists (Ukrainian and Baltic nationalists, Central Asian Basmachis, Caucasus secessionists, etc)
