The Red and the White: Intervention
In 1918 thousands of foreign troops were ordered to Russia in the Allied Intervention. Lucy Ash tells the story of this little known and ill-fated adventure in the Russian Arctic
In 1918, towards the end of World War One, tens of thousands of foreign troops, Americans and British among them, were ordered to Russia in what became known as the Allied Intervention. Winston Churchill saw the foreign troops as anti-Communists, on a crusade to 鈥渟trangle at birth the Bolshevik State". Lucy Ash travels to the Arctic port of Archangel to look for evidence of a conflict which took place a century ago and transformed Russia's relations with the West for decades to come.
