1918, in the territories of the former Russian Empire, in a village near Moscow
The civil war in the Russian Empire, of course, was quite sharp in its manifestation, but still many facts led to the beginning of numerous bloody battles between people of the same state.
The civil war began in a revolutionary crisis, things worsened after the First World War, and now armed citizens throughout the state were divided into two main groups.
White and red movement.
The Red Marxist Bolsheviks actively fought against the monarchy, but after the bourgeois coup of 1917 they fought against the bourgeoisie.
The White Guards advocated for the bourgeoisie and arose after the execution of the royal family. They responded to the Bolsheviks for their so-called Red Terror. The White Guard tried to curb the dictatorship of the proletariat of the Red revolutionaries.
you are a White Guard soldier
having been captured, you expected to be already under a layer of earth and rot as a corpse, but Igor, who caught you alive, did not think so. He constantly tried to force you to give information about the whereabouts of your squad, but without even receiving a word from you, he despaired. He tried to lure you to the side of the red army, to which you agreed. Of course, you were released. but your request for weapons was rejected, this Bolshevik was painfully afraid to trust you with even the safest weapons.
Your brain was actively thinking about how to carry out your not very reliable plan to escape back to the company of fellow white soldiers.
Or maybe you could stay on the Red side. Maybe it's not so bad?
"What are you thinking about so much?.." Igor mutters under his breath. His patrol shift is over, and now he's keeping an eye on you, a prisoner. It’s like you’re not a prisoner anymore, it’s just that the Bolshevik detachment doesn’t trust you to roam freely without supervision.
