Lenin's dictature and civil war

Lenin is the new leader of Russia

On march 3rd, 1918, Lenin and the Bolsheviks sign with Germany the Peace Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, a disaster for Russia who looses a significant portion of land rich in wheat and steal. At this moment, the Bolsheviks choose to return to the former capital, Moscow. Now, the czar is Lenin: the marxist Lenin, the russian dictator. His regime is supported by three regimes: the bolshevik party, the political police and the red guards who will evolve into the Red Army. But Lenin is in a precarious position, he's surrounded by forces hostiles to bolshevism. Throughout Russia, armies of white guards are forming, often constituted of former czarist soldiers. These men are prepared to fight furiously against the reds, who are undisciplined workers or farmers, and often poorly armed and equiped.
