Dec 2, 2015 at 8:58 comment added ach 1. The question whether Mensheviks and SRs were part of the White Movement is not that simple. Sometimes, as in ComUCh and Crimea, they stood by the former ruling classes of the Empire. Sometimes, they joined the Reds or the Greens. 2. Not everyone who emigrated from Russia was White. 3. @jwenting, what you mean by saying 'the Bolsheviks call themselves socialists now' I don't know. 'Bolshevik' as a part of the name of the Communist party was abandoned in late 40s. There are several factions calling themselves Bolshevik now, but usually they don't go further than that.
Dec 2, 2014 at 8:07 comment added jwenting @Alex you're confusing things. Both Bolsheviks AND Mensheviks called themselves communists. Sorry kid, you've been duped by decades of propaganda trying to confuse people into not knowing what communism is (remember that the bolsheviks call themselves socialists now, not communists).
Dec 1, 2014 at 14:27 comment added Alex @Jwenting: you are confusing things. Communists which are not Bolsheviks were called Mensheviks, but they were not a part of the White movement. Other socialists (not communists) were.
Dec 1, 2014 at 9:45 comment added jwenting @Alex you're wrong. They were communists, they were just not Bolsheviks. They broke away from the Bolsheviks during or shortly after the revolution.
Nov 29, 2014 at 16:58 comment added Alex @Jwenting: The Whites never were communists.
Jan 24, 2014 at 5:50 comment added jwenting remember please that the whites were also communists originally (at least in part), they splintered from the Leninists after the october revolution.

Sep 20, 2012 at 17:28 comment added Nikko In WWII russians were fighting for their home, not to defend communism. I think the song is more about this (soldier going to war).
Sep 20, 2012 at 15:35 comment added MichaelF @Anixx American soldiers going to Vietnam were not thinking about fighting against the USSR, Communists maybe but Vietnamese ones. Where did you pick that up? If there is a source I'd be interested to see what the link is.
Sep 20, 2012 at 12:02 comment added Anixx @Nikko but this is a patriotic song that looks weird in the context that the groom is going to Vietnam to fight against the USSR. If it was during WWII it would look more natural.

Sep 19, 2012 at 20:46 comment added Nikko as far as I know it's not a "communist" song and it was indeed very popular even in other countries
