- Comment on The Czechoslovak Legion Carrying the White Movement 5 weeks ago:
The White Army (AKA the White Guard, the White Guardsmen, or simply the “Whites") was the armed forces of The White Movement which opposed the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War (not to be confused with the October Revolution).
I feel the first half of the first half of the Wikipedia article on the Czechoslovak Legion does a good job giving them context:
The Czechoslovak Legion (Czech: *Československé legie*; Slovak: *Československé légie*) were volunteer armed forces consisting predominantly of Czechs and Slovaks[1] fighting on the side of the Entente powers during World War I and the White Army during the Russian Civil War until November 1919. Their goal was to win the support of the Allied Powers for the independence of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown from the Austrian Empire, and of Upper Hungary from the Kingdom of Hungary, which were then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In my brief research, I’m not seeing anything to indicate that the Czechoslovak Legion did substantially more than other elements of the White Movement (though that’s obv the implication of the meme)

Actually, I’m surprised that isn’t a bigger talking point in how the war went.
I’m suddenly curious what the ramifications of a much lower supply of nicotine was on the Union army. Reading Tobacco by Iain Gately, it seems like tobacco was a near necessity (esp among the upper class -which would have been the officers of the armies), so I wonder how many bad decisions were made while one general or captain was going through some major withdrawals.

I worry it was too close to the truth that people will take it as the truth of many events that occur in the movie.

You see, every one else thought currency was pretty based, but Diogenes saw it for the facade of civility it was. So he definitely debased currency.
