During the Russian Civil War that began in late 1917, the group that supported Czar Nicholas II was generally known as the 'White' Russians. In contrast to the Communist 'Reds,' the 'Whites' advocated either a monarchical government for Russia or, at the very least, a non-Communistic ruling power.
The Fifth Column
"White Russian" typically refers to a person who opposed the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War in the early 20th century. "Great Russian" is a broader term referring to an ethnic Russian person, regardless of their political affiliations. White Russians were anti-Bolshevik forces who supported the monarchy, while Great Russians are simply a part of the larger Russian ethnic group.

The communist Bolsheviks took over during the November Revolution.
During the Russian Revolutions of 1917, they were known as the Bolsheviks.
The army supported Lenin and the Bolsheviks, because they were tired of the war against Germany (WW1). Lenin had a small group of intellectuals and revolutionaries who spearheaded the revolution. The peasantry was split in its support between Lenin and the old regime, so there was a Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1923. The communists won.
The anti-revolutionaries in Russia during the Russian Revolution were commonly referred to as the "White Army" or "Whites." This group comprised various factions, including monarchists, conservatives, and those who opposed the Bolsheviks. They fought against the "Red Army," which represented the Bolshevik government. The conflict between these groups contributed to the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1923.
