In this detailed analysis of the anti-Bolshevik movement in Siberia during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, N. G. O. Pereira argues that the White counter-revolution failed in Siberia because of the political weakness of the anti-Soviet governments vying for power in the region and their policies toward the Siberian peasantry.
