Kolchak and the generals around him are undoubtedly representatives of professional soldiers. In the face of domestic political changes, it is impossible to ask them to have the sharp eyes of a sociologist or politician. For a soldier, the greatest duty is to fight and protect. So any kind of critical argument with a high-end eye can be saved.
The result of history is that the Red Army was victorious, we saw a great purge, and we saw a lot of political darkness. Will it end well if Kolchak wins? This is obviously childish speculation. Personally, I think, in hindsight, for Russia, the victory of the Red Army was better.
But the theme of the film is not history. There are a lot of clips in it that divert the focus from what's been right or wrong in history. The depiction of revolutionary chaos is not overdone. Class struggle is inherently sharp. Anyone who considers political issues with humanistic concerns is naive. So in terms of the Red Army, which has not been written much, I don't think it has been vilified. And although the white soldiers are standing in the old world, they are still fighting for Russia. This behavior cannot simply be evaluated as right or wrong. But there is no doubt that the love for the country and the courage to sacrifice for the will should be celebrated.
Personal circumstances, ups and downs in the whirlpool of history. Right or wrong is irrelevant. The regime that was once a new force has also disappeared in the vast history, and the meaning of fighting against it has long been impossible to find. All that remains is the sigh of fate.
