The traditional narrative of the Russian Civil War is one of
revolution against counterrevolution, Bolshevik Reds against
Tsarist Whites. Liudmila Novikova convincingly demonstrates,
however, that the struggle was not between a Communist future and a
Tsarist past; instead, it was a bloody fight among diverse factions
of a modernizing postrevolutionary state. Focusing on the sparsely
populated Arkhangelsk region in northern Russia, she shows that the
anti-Bolshevik government there, which held out from 1918 to early
1920, was a revolutionary alternative bolstered by broad popular
support. Novikova draws on declassified archives and sources in
both Russia and the West to reveal the White movement in the north
as a complex social and political phenomenon with a distinct
regional context. She documents the politics of the Northern
Government and its relations with the British and American forces
who had occupied the ports of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk at the end
of World War I. As the civil war continued, the increasing
involvement of the local population transformed the conflict into a
ferocious ""people's war"" until remaining White forces under
General Yevgeny Miller evacuated the region in February 1920.
