Under the Red Flag Against the Bolsheviks: The History of KOMUCH

In the public consciousness, the central conflict of the Russian Civil War is the confrontation between the "Reds" and the "Whites." Meanwhile, in 1918, representatives of socialist parties, primarily the Socialist Revolutionaries, who considered themselves the "true" revolutionaries, were at the forefront of anti-Bolshevik resistance in eastern Russia. Under their leadership, the Committee of Members of the Constituent Assembly (KOMUCH) was established in the Volga region, which historian Said Zalyaev discusses in his article.
