November 1918. In western Europe, the four-year slaughter of World War One was drawing to an end.But across the former Russian Empire, a new conflict had broken out… a civil war that raged from central Europe to the Pacific, claiming an estimated nine million lives. Lenin, the Bolsheviks and their new Soviet Republic battled for survival against their many enemies - collectively known as the ‘Whites’.
The Whites’ great hope: their newly-appointed ‘Supreme Ruler of Russia’, Admiral Alexander Kolchak. Kolchak was a war hero, a man of duty and discipline, who believed above all in service to ‘the motherland’. Millions looked to him to crush the Bolsheviks, avenge the murdered Tsar, and save Russia from chaos and collapse.
This is the extraordinary tale of the life and death of Admiral Kolchak - Russia’s only ‘Supreme Ruler’.

And what are you looking forward to in part two? Let us know in the comments! One small correction - in June 1916, Kolchak was promoted to Vice-Admiral, not full Admiral, as implied in the video. He was only promoted to full Admiral in November 1918, after he became Supreme Ruler of Russia.

A little mistake at 07:00. The railway from Chita to Khabarovsk did not exist that time. It was built 10 years later. That is why the only way to Vladivostok via Harbin was so important in the war

@jayo3074 4 місяці тому

@vinllga 4 місяці тому

There is no any mistake here. Wrong is your knowledge. Trans-Siberian railway on the Baikal-Chita section and before crossing the Chinese Eastern railway (КВЖД), connecting woth Port-Arthur, were built before 1904. Only one famous diffucult section of Circum-Baikal railway was unfinished, which is why cargo & people had to be melted on ferries across Lake Baikal.

Kolchak and Czech legion are still famous in Russia’s folk songs due to their terror and brutality to local population. Song of the Altai partisans (1919). "My father was a natural plowman, And I worked with him. We were attacked by evil Czechs, My native village was set on fire. My father was killed in the first battle, And the mother was burned alive in a fire. My own sister was taken prisoner, And I was left an orphan. I tried for three days and three nights, Rescued his sister from captivity. And on the fourth I tried, I stole my sister from captivity. My sister and I got into the boat, And they floated quietly along the river. But suddenly the bushes began to move, The fatal shot rang out. The villain fired a villainous bullet, He killed my beautiful sister. The sister fell from the boat, I was left completely alone. I'll climb a steep mountain, And I’ll look at my native land - The village is burning, the native is burning, My whole homeland is burning!"

Czechoslovak legion and its leader Syrovoy were in fact the traitors. They hung between Bolsheviks and Whites and ran over from one side to another.
