Eh...some of the whites were not totally despicable though most of them were.

I mostly just root for them in the Civil War because they were the losers and were, as a group, remarkably absurd. There is kind of a romance for lost causes with absurd goals.

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Martinus

Voted for Jaronovics as both sides were despicable.

Tonitrus

Whites were crappy, but it's hard to content that the world/Russia would not have been better off without Stalin.

Yep. The only Russians I ever liked were the Constitutional Democrats and they were pretty much dead by the time the Civil War got going.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

At the time the reds without a doubt.
With hindsight the whites.

That's like blaming Wilson on the ACW.

Whites obviously. Just like in the Finnish civil war.
