The Whites were the conservatives, the royalists, and the original democratic elements. It was a very lose coalition. The Reds were the Bolsheviks, meaning majority, even though they started out in the minority, who became the Communist Party.
In the Russian Civil War (1917-1922), the "Reds" were the Bolshevik forces led by Vladimir Lenin, advocating for a socialist state and the establishment of a communist government. They sought to consolidate power following the October Revolution. The "Whites," on the other hand, comprised a coalition of anti-Bolshevik groups, including monarchists, liberals, and moderate socialists, who aimed to overthrow the Bolshevik regime and restore a more traditional form of governance. This conflict was marked by intense fighting and significant social upheaval, ultimately leading to Bolshevik victory and the establishment of the Soviet Union.
The two sides were referred to as the Red Army (Bolsheviks and their revolutionary supporters) and the White Army ( nonrevolutionaries who either wanted the Tsar restored to the throne or depose Lenin and the Bolsheviks. In addition to the Reds and Whites there were the Greens, who were anarchists.
After the Russian Revolution ousted the Czar, the various factions began to fight among each other. The Bolsheviks (Communists), also known as the Reds, made a play for power opposed by the Whites, Mensheviks (royalists, democrats, republicans, and reactionaries).
As what it sounds to me, the Reds were the Bolshevik faction (Communists) in the Russian Civil War, and the Whites were the people that opposed them (Royalists, Republicans, the Church, etc.)
It was the Russian Civil War which lasted from 1917 to 1922. Supporters of Bolsheviks were Reds and supporters of the Tsar were Whites. At the end Whites lost and Soviet Union was created.

During the Russian revolution the Reds referred to the Communist revolutionaries, White referred to the defending Tzarist or established government. The Greens had little influence on the conflict but they were armed peasant groups which fought against both the Reds and Whites.
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.
