minus-squareAlaskaball [comrade/them]hexbear1·2 years agoDepends, this, on the section of '38 gives some cursory info on the land-grabs And this details the Soviet-Polish war of 1920 in which the fledgling Soviet republics sought to liberate lands stolen by the Germans and granted to the reactionary nationalists during ww1's Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

minus-squareAlaskaball [comrade/them]hexbear2·2 years agoIf you want more in-depth materials, then read through this copy of the great soviet encyclopedia in the section titled "Civil War and Military Intervention, 1918–20." It also holds entire sections of additional names of sources and references of the encyclopedia. To reach it word search "October Revolution and Civil War, 1917-20" You can compare it to what the great Russian encyclopedia says on the same period Lenin on Peace Without Annexations and the Independence of Poland as Slogans of the Day in Russia. February 29, 1916 Lenin sending A Letter to the Polish Communists. October 19, 1921 An interview of Trotsky on the Polish Front. May 6 1920. If you want an "unbiased" glimpse into the Civil War period, Kotkin's first book on Stalin covers the Civil war. link
