Russian Civil War. Alexander Kolchak’s White Army is in trouble. When the Red Army manages to reorganize and counterattack in 1919, the Bolsheviks focus their attack on the center of the White line, aiming for Ufa. The fighting is fierce and bloody: Ufa is captured by the Bolsheviks on June 9, and, at the end of the month, Red forces led by Mikhail Tukhachevsky break through the White defenses in the Urals. Kolchak leaves Omsk for Irkutsk via the Trans-Siberian Railway on November 13, 1919. Following an order from Moscow, he is shot on February 7, 1920.
