So the Red Army was stopped by Polish Nationalist forces from spreading Bolshevism with all its accolates (mass murders, deliberate starvation, property confiscations, arbitrary arrests and executions, etc.) to Poland and then to the Rest of Europe.==
They did it good. But unfortunately they was so preoccupied with creation of Great Poland from sea to sea ("ot mozha do mozha") that they just swallowed chunk of ukranian and bellorussin lands which bolshevicks smartly bribed them with.
They could break whole bolshevick regime but just was duped and bribed by bolshevicks. And stupidly they let bolshevick regime live.
Later in 1939 Stalin revenged and they payed for thier stupidity.
Let them so be resentful on bolshevick regime and shortsightness of thier leader- "pan Pilsudskii" but they are angry with russians! How so I cann't understand.:))
I realize now why so many anecdotes about poles roam United States:).

Well--it's not that simple. Many White Guard Army leaders (Kolchak, Denikin) were against independent Polish State, so there was a wariness on a Polish side to ally themselves with the Russian White Guards. The same with Finnish Nationalist General Mannerheim. Finland was also part of Russian empire that broke from Russia in 1918. When Mannerheim came to power in 1918 after crushing its own Red Guard, he offered Russian White Guard the help in capturing Petrograd (St. Petersburg) from Bolsheviks. However the Russian White Guard did not want any part of Russian Empire to become independent and they did not give Mannerheim guarantees that they would respect Finnish Independence after Bolsheviks are crushed. This inflexibility and outright stupidity of White guard played a big role in not creating a unifying front against Bolsheviks. Hundreds of millions of people had to pay with their lives because of this stuborness and the refusal to acknowledge the reality.
