the reds- the Bolsheviks the whites- a broad term applied to any anti Bolshevik group. The whites were made up of * Mensheviks * Socialist Revolutionaries * Supporters of the Tsar * Landlords and capitalists who had lost money due to the revolution * the Czech legion (these were paid soldiers) the whites were also supported by USA, Japan, France and Britain, who wanted to crush Communism as they were worrried about it spreading to their countries. Hope that helps!

∙ 12y agoWhite Russians favored the Monarchy, the Czarist government- Dimitri was white Russian in more ways than one!- The Reds were the Communists. By the way the term White Russia was used way-way prior to the Bolshevik revolt, and meant essentially Imperial Russia.

∙ 10y agoThe White Russians followed the Czar, Nicholas II. This was comprised of Loyalists and cossacks. The Red Russians, were part of the Red Army lead by the communist Bolsheviks, and Vladimir Lenin.
In point of fact, there were no "White Russians" in the "Russian Revolution." The White Russian forces were part of the Russian Civil War, not the revolution. The White Russians were not all followers of Tsar Nicholas II. Many did not want him back in power. The White Russians were mainly anti-Soviet and anti-Bolshevik forces. Some wanted to impose a military Dictatorship over Russia, some wanted a constitutional democracy and some wanted simply to be left alone to live without interference by the Moscow government. This dichotomy of goals is partly to blame for the failure of the White Russians in the civil war.
@EPLibraian: While yes it may be true some were not particularly Pro-czar they did fight on the same side of the Czar against the Red Army. In fact, the term "white" comes from a reference of absolute monarchy used with Ivan III, the first czar of Russia, not a military dictatorship. The White Russians also comprised of the members I stated (Loyalists and Cossacks). Famous members of this army include the Russian naval commander Alexander Kolchak and military intelligence officer Lavr Kornilov, as well as fictional characters General Zaroff, and his manservant Ivan from the short story The Most Dangerous Game, which denotes Nicholas as the "Great White Czar." Either way the confederation was extremely loose due to their divided goals, as you stated. and i am sorry for not particularly clarifying my answer
