Please tell me exactly in WHAT sense they were anti-Russian.==

Many senses. Soviets destroy russian tradition, religion as part of it. Way of life. Instead they inplemented newly created "soviet people" nation.

Yes they insisted to learn russian language but how could they do against it if number of ethnic russians was half of sobiet people. BTW it is an explaination why they won. Ethnic russians was only half or less in Empire.
In today for example Russia russians are majority near 80%. So I beleive no anti-russains power may win in today Russia.
Commmies robbed russian resouces for sake of development of "friends". No russians was heads of Soviet state. And so on.

If Russian is your mother tongue then you are Russian, whether your grandmother was Jewish or Kalmuk, what does it matter? (By the way, I'm told Pushkin was a quarter-Negro. Is it true?) ==

True. Pushkin was quarter-negro. Whose is russian is defined quite same as who is polish or german or italian. If you have definition about it then just substitute it with word "russian".

Do you really want me to believe that White Russians were defeated by an army made up of Jews, Latvians, Poles and other minorities? ==

I don't tell that no russians was between bolshevicks. Some were. As in White movenets there were some non-russians.
BUT in those time no one knew exactly what will the bolshevick power. SO people at time took sides by thier national instincts.
Plus bolshevicks bribed minorities by land and promise of independece.

Put another way, the SOVIETS were anti-Russian in the same way extreme leftists in our country are anti-American.

They hate what is good and decent - virtue, freedom, tradition, bourgeois prosperity - and love control, despotism, social engineering, and mind control.
