Beyond Bolshevism: The chaotic struggle for control in Siberia

Explore the easternmost front of the Russian Civil War, where a complex web of international intervention, white warlords, and anarchist peasant revolts collided in a desperate fight against the Bolsheviks.

This documentary examines the multi-layered conflict in Siberia, a region that became a theater for a supranational intervention. While the primary objective of several world powers was to halt the spread of Bolshevism, the landscape was far more fragmented than a simple two-sided war.

The film details how tens of thousands of foreign soldiers arrived in the region, joining a chaotic struggle that included the anti-Bolshevik government of Admiral Kolchak, various white warlords, and even anarchist peasant uprisings. It provides context on the intense, overlapping layers of military and political resistance that defined this eastern front.
