 During the Russian Civil War, the Red Army killed White Army troops in Russia in 1917. In the 1917 Russian Civil War, White Army soldiers faced the tragic fate of being killed by the Red Army. The brutal reality of the Russian Civil War became the harsh reality faced by soldiers from both sides during this turbulent era. It signified the violence and chaos that engulfed Russia.

The Bolshevik Revolution, which erupted in 1917 and led to the Russian Civil War, triggered a civil war that lasted over five years and claimed the lives of millions of Russians. This civil war was primarily fought between the Red Army, which supported Vladimir Lenin's communist revolution, and a collection of militias known as the White Army.The White Army fought to restore the Russian monarchy or at least prevent the communists from taking control of the country. 

Red Army recruits swore to sacrifice their strength and very lives for socialism and the brotherhood of the people. In 1919, most of the millions of casualties were civilians, and two refugees boarded a two-story passenger car to escape the fighting.

Western Allied powers attempted to support the White Army during the civil war. This intervention was initially aimed at bringing Russia back into the Allied camp and re-engaging it in World War I. In late 1918 or early 1919, workers hanging from the entrance of a factory in Odessa were reportedly killed by French troops.

In March 1921, sailors from Kronstadt, near present-day Saint Petersburg, crossed the frozen Gulf of Finland and revolted. After openly opposing the Bolshevik political policies of the Red Army, Red Army units attacked the sailors.Thousands of sailors escaped to Finland during the fighting, but over 1,000 who surrendered were executed by the Bolsheviks. This was the last major uprising faced by the Bolsheviks in Russia before they established full communist dictatorship in February 1922.
