Russian history fascinates me.

Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House remade the world at Versailles in 1919. They set the stage for the mess we have lived in ever since. They were completely ignorant of the complexities of Europe and the Middle East when they chopped up the empires of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottomans. One of Wilson's 14 Points was to fix Russia. 

Lenin was already busy fixing Russia at the time. The communists weren't invited to Versailles. The Russian Civil War was raging with British and American participation.

 

This is my answer to people who wonder whether some Soviets fought for the Nazis during WWII. 

Yes, they did, is the short answer.

For some, the civil war in the Russian Empire never ended. It continued after 1917 and throughout the Soviet era, including WW II. Some believe that the Whites have won with the establishment of Putin’s Russian Federation, Others continue the civil war unabated as secret allies of the United States.

Some Americans will not be happy until everyone in the world lives under Washington’s thumb. George Soros has his own ideas. Americans were behind the extraction of Georgia and Ukraine from the Confederation of Independent States which succeeded the USSR.

Americans are behind the “freedom and democracy” efforts in Belarus today. Any country that has not been absorbed by The American Blob must be a dictatorship, they think. People must be set free. The United States of America continues the aspirations of Napoleon to expand revolution and destroy the ancien régime.

Eastern and southern Ukraine are populated by descendants of ethnic Russians, including the major Black Sea city, Odesa. This area was once called Novorussia. As one goes farther west in Ukraine one enters areas that once were part of Poland-Lithuania and Austria-Hungary.
