The Bolshevik (communist) red army won the civil war because of lots of reasons...
-the lack of organiseation and discipline of drunken white troops
-the white generals Udenich, Dennekin and Colchak had different ideals, had no means of communication, so neither battalion knew when the other was fighting, so the red army picked them off one by one.
-the red army had a strict commissar for war - leon Trotsky, who was ruthless with controlling his army, he also bribed and blackmailed tsarist generals, ex-cossaks and whites to join his army , sometimes kidnapping family members!
-Lenin was a "good" strong leader who had ONE aim; to stay in power!
-white forces were often made up of lots of different types of people; tsarists, capitalists, cossacks, okrana members basically ANYONE who opposed communism - this lead to trouble cos civil fights often broke out between white soldiers.
-the red army also had access to the trans Siberian railway!
-the Bolshevik "secret" ruthless army the Checka, seized grain and food from the peasants, so the red army had foood! except this had terrible long term consequences like the first ever man made famine in Russia after the war, where peasants resorted to cannibalism in some cases!
The white army even had support from the Allies, like Britain France ect. but they still lost.
