“They [the ‘white Russians’] never understood the importance of ideology and did not take ideas seriously. Rather stupidly, they believed that their enemies [the Bolsheviks] were evil and assumed that the Russian people would soon realize what to themselves seemed so obvious.” Now your comment #8 finally makes some sense.
Thanks for the much-needed context!

A forgotten historic fact is how Russia stood with the US Union during the civil war. There were a number of European nations and banks there were heavily invested in slavery in in the confederate’s victory. Russia deployed warships to deter European forces from interfering.
I wonder if that could be a reason the Bolsheviks hated Russia and the Czars so much.
