Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice. The first instance was during Wrangel’s flight from the Crimea. Muslim Tatars in the area went out of their way to hide Wrangel from the communists and helped him make his escape. The second instance happened while Wrangel was fighting under Denikin in the Caucasus. A detachment of Circassian Muslim “ancients” met him after praying in a local church and made a big ceremony of offering their sons to fight for Wrangel personally. In return, Wrangel handed over a couple dozen communist prisoners. The ancients slaughtered them pretty much immediately. The Muslims were so sympathetic to Wrangel and the Whites because they hated the atheist communists who had been committing atrocities in their villages. The Muslim ancients’ village was among these victims.ru-vid.comgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f970.png

Having lived in Russia for 5 years, I can say that Wrangel's statement "Russians are inclined to pass in one moment from complete depression to the most radiant optimism" is still surprisingly accurate.

Stories of russian civil war are so tragic and yet spectacular.

This story is very personal for me. My great grandpa fought under Wrangel, he reported directly under him and was a part of the evacuation. That's why my family is in Bulgaria today.

When the Serbian army was asked to help the White movement the vast majority of soldiers mutinied because "Red or white a Russian is still a Russian and a Serb will not kill either." Small numbers joined both sides. Regular soldiers mostly joined the Reds because people were getting tired of corruption from the upper classes. Officers joined the White army because of the memory of the Romanov dynasty.

Can you do the sequel of the epilogue about the stories of Russian whites in exile? They have interesting stories on their own worthy of a video in my opinion

Now to imagine if Wrangel had had his way sooner, and had land reform and discipline implemented sooner.

Wrangal is a man we should all imitate. Integrity, honor and anti-communism.

The Black Baron rests in Belgrade now, I remember Serb royalist making a small event in his honor

The white army and the black baron is one of the best songs to come out of the Russian civil war

The minute I heard that the poles made peace with the Soviets i was like "well shit,its all over now"

Love the song from the end. It translates to: Black Baron (Wrangel), White Army, Again prepare for the Tzar's throne. But from the taiga to the British sea, the Red Army is the strongest of all.

This man is the definition of a giga chad Also amazing video as always, love your videos

As a pole I didn't learn in school about Wrangel when we studied the polish bolshevik war. Now I'm kind of dissapointed (if you could call it that) by my ancestors that we wouldn't put an end to the communist menace once and for all, but I guess the polish nation surviving was more important. Also kind of depressing how a man so capable got the job so late

I would love to see about video about the civil war from the Red Army perspective, it seems like the whites do everything right, but still loose. So to see what the Reds did to win the war in the end.

Given what you said the next topic will be, I wonder, do you know that a new biography of Piłsudski (arguably the first propper one written in English) was just published? It's _Jozef Pilsudski: Founding Father of Modern Poland_ by Joshua D. Zimmerman.

Do you think Poland ever regretted signing a peace deal?

Oh yeah, Based Pyotr Wrangel. 😎👍

I think you're the first RU-vid history channel who hasn't potrayed the White movement as a doomed, futile resistance atemp against the mighty red army. I love your series. Keep it up!

I think the Russian Civil War and its outcome is one of the greatest tragedies of history.

i'd love to see you do an in-depth explanation of the prince and Machiavellianism as you did with objectivism.

Thank you for sharing this story. Your teams art and structuring of our videos is always commendable! As is your own narration.

I am genuinely disappointed nobody has made a movie on the Based Baron

Anyone interested in another book on the Russian Civil War - definitely check out Mikhail Bulgakov's 'White Guard' - as it is centred around the siege of Kiev, and was shunned by Soviets due to the complex, human depiction of White soldiers

Epic! Worthy successor of brains4breakfast

Yes, i approve this channel, you are a legend

My family was made up of Germans living in the Crimea and northern Taurida. Though his regime was short-lived, my family always held the White Army in high regard because of the Black Baron. Had it not been for him, they would not have survived the civil war, as they'd have most likely been the target of the anarchist Black Army.

I can't believe a single water maintenance worker's twitter account made this possible

Need me a woman like that damb

This one is a real banger.

Excellent vid as always, and excited to hear about the Poles in the next. But do ya suppose you might ever talk about the Mercenary Madlad Mitchell Werbell III? He was surprisingly influential on the modern US military, from tactics to hardware.

Last real chance to save Russia is the reforms of Peter Stolypin, who I think you would make a good video on. He was a tsarist reformer who looked to make statewide land reforms that actually could ease the factors that fostered Bolshevist sentiment in the country. Sadly, he was assissanated, so we’ll never know :(

Its amazing to see such quality videos get produced in such a short time

Im hoping that one day a detailed game on the Russian civil war will release

Thank you for recommending this book it is absolutely amazing I am only halfway done with the book but so far it has been so fun that’s really surprising because I don’t really read much but this book is too good not to read ps: Amazing video too

I loved the fact that the Red Army theme is in the Background.

I have thought long why I like your videos so much! What is it that sets them apart from other history and or countryball RU-vidrs... It's not the animations (while good they aren't way better then others) Not the jokes you make/have your countryballs say I think it is the way you present these very cool stories. They are often niche topics that aren't covered widely but the real important thing to me is your ability to tell these tales both on a personal level, evoking emotions, while also giving a good overview of the situation as a whole and staying objective. They way you use music adds to that as you implement it perfectly to create or support the emotional investment in these stories. And I guess that is the key! You make me actually care about the people in your story, their cause and fight, instead of just hearing about something interesting that happened once, I m invested in the outcome of the story. Seriously I have my opinions on the Russian civil war. But when I watch a video you do on the communist perspective I m a communist. If you do one like this from the white armies point of view I m a nationalist. And when you tell the tale of the Ukrainian black army both of those can get screwed, independent Ukrainian fighters for the win 😂

Finally looking forward for a great video thank you truly thanks

1:45 Libertarians and simply rightists tend to throw Ukraine under the bus. To me (you can guess the location) it feels like being an Australian member of the flat earth society: being pretty much dismissed whilst being invested into the cause

Great video i love it keep uploading more.

Hell Yeah! Been waiting for this episode. Favorite Kasierreich character

great video! really made me think about russian history

i love these types of videos holy shti

Love your videos man.

God I love these videos with a passion The Russian Civil War is such an amazing story.

Apart from how amazing is this video, I adore the fact that you use the CK2 AGOT mod soundtrack ^^

This man is amazing

Im voting for this Ezekiel guy in 2024

very good video

I love the bangers playing in the background. I workout to many of the songs

Another good video.

I think, Wrangel story have best ending (if u compare with Kolchaks or some others)

Great video

I personally think a video on Grigory semyonov in transbaikal would be nice

This is great, i need one about Baron von Ungern-Sternberg

Could ya cover the story of the other black baron (and the avatar of the mongolian God of War), Baron von Ungern-Sternberg and his Mongolian campaign? The man who defeated 10 times superior numbers and liberated Mongolia in under 6 months, whose dream it was to unite Asia under a single eurasian empire to liberate the world from the forces of the revolution. I think it would fit perfectly as a conclusion to the Russian civil war, happening right at the end of it in 1921. My personal favorite book on him is probably Beasts, Men, and Gods by Ossendowski, includes quite a lot of philosophical and esoteric stuff which could be interesting, it's basically an autobiography of Ossendowski, a polish doctor who tried to escape the red army by trying to pass through Mongolia, later in the novel encountering Ungern and revealing quite a lot about his story and thoughts. Reads really well too, reminded me a bit of LotR with how it's structured at times. Another book I've seen about him is the Bloody White Baron, but I have yet to finish it.

I love this guy

You should do a video on Makhnovia!

I have to wonder if the interrogator was later "purged" for his Good Deed.

Will you do a video on the betrayal of the whites to Stalin post-war.

Russian Giga Chad, ladies and gentlemen 😁

Is it worth reading Always with Honor in it's translated versions? How much meaning is lost in the translation from Russian to English?

10:05 the part reminds me sort of about the battle of new carthage during the 2nd punic war. I've heard that something similar happened there. I might be wrong. Correct me if i am.

RIP Mystery Grove Publishing

Please do Chinese history “1911-1929” 😊

Get you a wife like Wrangel's

5:14 the issue is that this was never going to happen with anyone except him (or perhaps the moderate socialist whites that kolchak coup'd) in power. it was a fundamental failure of the whites in russia, the incapacity to see the need of these things, the myopic view about "saving russia" but at the same time being unable to see anything of what needed to be done for it. (EDIT: Except fighting of course.) "If only Denikin had implemented this" is on par with "if only the tzar had implemented this". It was just not going to happen.

This man and these events need a film better yet a full hbo miniseries dedicated to them.

God bless Wrangel

One of my favorite books , always with Honor is :)

The thumbnail is perfect

This all starting because a Soviet interrogator felt sappy is honestly perfect.

I always heard stories of my great grandparents fleeing crimea but I never knew they fled under the leadership of such a great man

the feels...

We need a hoi4 mod for this

Great russian hero rest in peace black baron😔

Can you make a video o out yakut uprising?

Its often fascinating to learn about Russia Civil War. Despite the current political situation, I always have deep interesta on Russian history.

Can someone send me a link to the beginning song, I can’t seem to find it

Anyone know what the music at the end of the video is called,

This mans amazing

In your Russian civil war series there was also the Japanese empire involved

God speed your excellently

As a Russian love both sides rip to all of them

THE WHITE ARMY AND THE BLACK BARON

Interesting to see a comparison between white ideologies
