The Reds, the Whites and the Greens were the three opposing forces in the Russian Civil War.
The Reds were the Bolsheviks (later called Communists) and their supporters under Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky.
The Whites were forces that were anti-Bolshevik but with different objectives in mind. Some wanted to restore the monarchy. Some wanted to impose a democratic constitutional government. Some wanted to impose a military Dictatorship.
The Greens were anarchists, but not in the sense of having a lawless society. They just wanted no government at all so they could be left to themselves and live in peace with no oppressing government over them at all.
Immediately after the revolution, Trotsky became the first Commissar of Foreign Affairs. Then at the outset of the Russian Civil War he became Commissar of War. He organized the Red Army in order to fight the opposing White Russian forces.

The city of Yekaterinburg, Russia related to the Russian Revolution because that is where Tsar Nicholas II, all his family and several servants were murdered by Cheka agents and Red army soldiers in July 1918. This ensured that the Tsarist regime would never be restored. It should be pointed out that Yekaterinburg had more to do with the Russian Civil War than with the Revolution itself. The revolution was over by October 26, 1917 and the Civil War began in 1918. Lenin gave the order to murder the Romanov family during the civil war to prevent opposing White forces from capturing the Tsar.
