White Russians did not live in one specific place. They were scattered across Russia and beyond, fighting against the Red Army and trying to establish an alternative government. Some prominent locations where they fought and lived included:
* The North-West: The White forces under General Yudenich launched offensives from Estonia and Finland towards Petrograd (now St. Petersburg).
* The South-West: Led by General Denikin, White forces operated in Ukraine and the Caucasus, attempting to seize control of the Black Sea region.
* Siberia: The White Army under Admiral Kolchak established a government in Omsk and fought fiercely against the Bolsheviks.
* The Far East: Led by General Semenov, the White forces in the Far East were ultimately defeated by the Bolsheviks in 1922.
After the Civil War, many White Russians fled Russia. Some went to Europe, particularly France and Yugoslavia, while others went to China, Turkey, and other countries. Many became refugees and faced economic hardship and discrimination.
It's important to note that the term "White Russian" is a political term and should not be confused with the term "Russian" as a nationality. Many people who were called "White Russians" were actually ordinary citizens who simply opposed the Bolshevik revolution.
