I'm certainly against making Russians as an ethnic or ethno-cultural group as the scapegoats for the Communism. However, it's wrong when you say that majority of Russians supported White Guard. In Fact, initially majority of Russians (esp. Peasantry) supported Bolsheviks with their promises of "lands to peasantry, factories to workers". However, after Bolshevism showed its teeth with forceful requisition of food, harvest and other necessities from the countryside to feed the nascent Red Army and summary execution of peasantry, the Russian peasantry started to rebel. The Antonov rebellion of 1921-1922 in Tambov province was probably the most known and it was taking place after White Guard was largely defeated. It was Marshal Tukhachevsky, Red Army top Officer and Russian Nobleman with Polish Roots, who put down Antonov Rebellion with utmost sadism by burning villages with villagers to the ground and using gas against rebel remnants. Don't forget that a significant number of Russian Imperial army and Navy officers joined Bolsheviks. Many of them joined under duress--their relatives were taken by VChK as hostages. However, there were a number of officers who joined the Red Army voluntarily. In other words, I believe it's important not to invent new myths, but to look honestly in each and everyone else path to see what actually happened.
