especially when you are unable to read your current context and allow your allies to mistreat peasants and attempt to reestablish nobility in the lands, thus ensuring that you lose all support and make them choose the other side as the lesser of two evils.

This is an object lesson in the importance of diplomacy when fighting a way

He should accept Finland offer to attack with 100,000 man in exchange Finland independence..but he not..he too amazed to get all teritorry of Russian Empire before..then rather lose Finland, he lose everything

Just wait until you hear about the 90's.

It seems that 2 romanians have decided the Russian future.

@@razvanpopescu-lw4nw Neither of them identified as such or had a personal bond to the region from where their ancestors who set the foundation on which their current Russian legacy would be built, originated. What I find astonishing about Mikhail Frunze in particular is that his daughter, Tatiana Frunze lived to the grand age of 104 years old and died less than a month ago on the 15th of January 2024.

@@rennor3498 When I first heard of Frunze, I immediately had to look up his background. That name literally means "leaves" in Romanian.

​@@johnbooth5297 Россия одна из самых жадных стран, по ее территории заметно.

@@johnbooth5297American rocket bases right on russias doorstep that can reach Moscow in minutes is indeed an existential threat, it’s shocking how naive and uneducated people are about basic geopolitics.

Poland, Baltic states , Finland allready left.

He should have seen the writing on the wall and know that Finland and Poland were never going to return to the Russian Empire. He would have known about the Finnish assassination of Governor Bobrikov, who even the Imperial Russian government believed was too harsh on the Finns. Kolchak tried to keep everything instead of something and lost everything in the end...

Fair arguments, there are always a lot of complexities to this stuff that influence peoples decisions. I do however think he still should’ve accepted Finnish support to attack Petersburg, perhaps they could have signed a guarantee that they would give up the city once they liberated it from the reds, and pull back to a reasonable distance, in exchange for independence. Having said that it’s also likely had the Finns decided to keep Petersburg for themselves, Russian armies almost certainly could’ve retaken it.

I feel that this is a weird case of priorities though. Yes, Finland and Poland were demanding entire provinces for their help, but this is a war of survival. What was Eastern Karelia or Vilnius compared to Moscow or the Ukraine? You can demand Vladivostok or Azerbaijan or any of your lost territories back back when you control the massive resources of Western Russia and Eastern Europe, not when your most populous city does not even have 10% of Moscow's population.

@vovchos8235 In the case of Finland your claim is wrong. Mannerheim specifically planned to hand over Petrograd to Yudenich's forces after liberating the city from the Bolsheviks. Finland, a nation of some 3 million people at the time, holding on to a Russian-populated Petrograd long-term, was never in the cards.

Mannerheim himself was an Imperial officer, even presented at Nicholas' coronation... But in the end, Brits were the main factor and they only wanted to prolong the war in Russia and weaken whoever wins.

@@albogypsy2842 Like what they're doing now in Ukraine?

​@@littlehandsgivescovfefe4837Exactly. At the moment there is only one politician with considerable power to be trusted: ERDOGAN

Ok you're polish born Canadian so what? Did you know kolchak personally or something

I really like this music too. Do you know what it's called?

Doing politics is very dangerous

Absolutely but once you accept the responsibility of such a magnitude you have to be ready for every outcome!

@fractalmadness9253 well said 👏

This is communist Russia. There is no other possibility

No one. Just you and your big trap.

@@HalideHelix what is bro yapping about

He was very patriotic and loyal to his motherland, however he was too determined to keep on the idea of "Russia one and indivisable" he was a great military leader but not a good politicial one, rejected many offers of alliances because he didn't want to sell Russia to foreign powers that wanted to use the civil war's chaos. This man was a soldier, not a politician, and he died honorably, undeserved fate

@@noeltlalka6476 I can imagine it would be tough for a Patriot to sell parts of his country off to “allies” in exchange for support.

Like Ulysses Grant

I will point out that the majority of historical leaders were both politicans and military leaders. There are leader who were good at both. But I will agree, they are generally the exceptions to the rule.

He was a honest man that’s why he was not a good politician

Jackson, Grant and Washington?

And let's not forget Napoleon.

you need to blame him. he must give overall command to a foreigner as Zelenski now

@@eliotness4029 that's false. Ukraine gets tons of help from the US, and the US generals may suggest strategy, but Ukranian generals have the final say in strategy

@@PhoenixAscending Ukranian generals have the final say in strategy. but the US generals may suggest who will be next Ukranian generals

Italian and Swiss campaigns! Suvorov, the one of the greatest

Meh, general just starved his army in Alps.

They should make a video about Russian's terrorism war on Ukraine

@@AldousGarac Adding the word "terrorism" to "war" doesn't turn it into terrorism.

My thoughts exactly, incredibly foolish. Still, the betrayal from the Czechoslovak legion was dirty.

The Czechoslovak Legion really only cared of escaping, so they didn't really care of the Whites

If kolchak Got to finns to attack petrograd,the czechoslovaks would've sided with the whites,because they didn't really care about the war and would side with whoever won to ensure their safety @@AlphaSections

Среди лидеров Белого движения был также Врангель и Деникин. Первый более позитивно смотрел на независимость некоторых стран, которые откололись от Российской империи. Так например Врангель признал право на существование Украинской народной республики за их вклад в борьбу против большевизма. Но всё пошло иначе, к сожалению..

​​@@marcusledesma9125 they wanted to go home to there country why would they care about russia?

I think you are confusing “great” with “perfect.” Both were not perfect men, but they were undeniably great men.

Kolchak is not like Grant. For one, Kolchak lost his war unlike Grant who won his...

@theotherohlourdespadua1131 OK, but the next part I said "But Kolchak was looked up to, to crush the Bolshevicks as much as Grant was looked up to, to crush the confederates" so there's my rebuttal, you just didn't look closely enough.

Its still a bad conparison. Grant won because he actually had the vision to win the war and the will to carry it through. Kolchac was a stubborn and conservative man, unwilling to do what it took to win the war because of "honor". He deserved to lose. ​@@theraginggager7303

I wouldn’t compare the two generals Grant and Kolchak simply because they were from different perspectives of war and factions in the war they fought. Kolchak was being stubborn and not aware the lack of logistics and the manpower compared to the Bolsheviks who had the highest advantage when it came to infrastructure and the unlimited supply because of factories producing massively across in-out of Moscow. Of course the political and national diplomacy with the West wasn’t the main part Kolchak skill in the civil war because he devoted on the military campaign and dealing with internal issues. You can argue that Kolchak doesn’t want to heavily relied on the Western allied cooperation because he doesn’t want to look like a weak leader influenced by Western powers from his people perspective. Even if he relied on western support, that requires when they would reach them through the strategic and logistical lines when dealing with the massive and equipped Bolsheviks red army. Also any loss battle and casualties that the Kolchak faced would permanently and never be recovered. He needed more wins to gain more support to his people and the relation with the western allies, but never did. His supreme leader were already in a chaotic state prior to the civil war and revolution, so any attempt to restore the power were fruitless because the Bolsheviks had completely controlled with the main government after overthrow the Provisional Government and thus the body of power of Russia. Grant on the other hand, he was command in the Union army with the main government of the United States, along with the population and military production were massively doubled compared to the Confederate army (whom they were relied on agriculture). Although the big advantage on the Confederate army was their great leadership, but it’s depending on when the Union army learned their mistakes from the battle since they can recover from massive loss and number of Union generals that President Lincoln had sacked. It’s up to the matter of time when they managed to find the right general that had the proper military experience and the observation of the Confederate general to get the foresight on their military movement. Of course Grant flaws with being reckless on leadership and entiled as the “butcher” by sending soldiers to their deaths, but you to have remember that this was not the first time the Union general ordered a massive attack on Confederate forces like in the Battle of Fredericksburg (aka Union version of Picket’s Charge) under command of Union general Ambrose Burnside. Despite the casualties is differ from both Union generals fought in separate battles, it’s a common choice that armies were fought especially in the area that where fought in seperate campaigns. I wouldn’t attempt to conclude as to whether Grant was an alcoholic since many sources that it was exaggerated or simply he barely drink it, which was mostly likely an attempt to create a controversy when he was a general and later as a president later in life. Lastly, both of these men, Grant and Kolchak were from seperate backgrounds, different people and period when they were alive.
