Having a long passed relative who served in Siberia in the 1920’s—you’d be wrong. The US actually had troops fighting the communists and supporting the Whites. It was the Kaiser’s Germany who sent Lenin to Brest, not the Western Powers...
My granddad volunteered with Adm. Kolchak. Where did your relative serve?
The Entente did intervene on the part of the Whites, but the help was mostly symbolic. The Russian generals remember how munitions and uniforms were late, few, or promised and never arrived. One French regiment volunteered to go to battle in Siberia and was stopped by Janin. Further, the allied Powers supported fevralist revolutionary structures they sympathized with, like the Social Revolutionaries but distrusted the monarchists, yet it is the monarchists that had the fighting spirit.
In the meanwhile the banking interests placed their bets on the Reds.
Yes, the entire Bolshevik revolution was a German black op.
