At the time of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Czar had already resigned and Russia was ruled by an official appointed by the Czar, named Kerensky. So it was the Kerensky regime against which the Bolsheviks revolted. They later executed the former Czar anyway (along with his family), not being satisfied with his mere resignation. Kerensky himself escaped and lived in exile in the US, a very smart move on his part.

The Red Army was for the Bolsheviks, since it formed at first out of the Red Guard that enabled the Bolsheviks to take over the government in the October Revolution of 1917. For all practical purposes the Red Army was a Bolshevik organization. There does seem to be a bit of gray areas concerning it. Most historians cite the Red Army as the defender of the Bolshevik Revolution. Others define the Red Army as an instrument of Lenin and was soon headed by Leon Trotsky.
