built 288 days ago
The struggle for power in Russia did not end with the civil war. Famine was raging. Sanitation was non-existent. And class hatreds were exploited on an unparalleled scale. Industrial production stood at one eighth of its pre-1914 level. Agricultural output fell by 30% and the distribution of essential commodities had broken down across the nation.

A civil war is a war in which the parties are segments of the same country or empire. The contention is often over matters of religion, ethnicity or politics, but is sometimes simply a struggle for power between two or more rival groups.
