    Big claims require big sources. If by “supported by” you mean in spirit, then yeah obviously the Allies would’ve supported any rebellion against the Bolsheviks. But if you’re claiming they had any material support, please provide a source

    What’s your excuse for the execution of the Left SRs? The SRs had much more widespread support throughout Russia than the Bolsheviks and were responsible for the vast majority of assassinations of the Tsar’s appointments. Probably the single most responsible party for bringing about the revolution in the first place (which makes sense considering the Bolsheviks were basically nonexistant in Russia because of their exile).

    What about the Makhnovtsi? Without them, the Red Army would’ve probably ended up losing against the Whites. Why did the Red Army crush them as soon as they stopped being useful? They were also the only major leftist group that were explicitly anti-anti-Semite. If they hadn’t been crushed, Ukraine would probably be devoid of Nazis today. What’s your excuse for that?
