Hmm... you probably don't want to read Nestor Makhno in the Russian Civil War because it's a tough slog to get through, despite being a short book, especially if you aren't already familiar with what happened there.
I haven't actually listened to much of the Revolutions podcast and the host has a very strong bias to anarchism/anti-"authoritarianism"/the anti-Soviet paradigm but in season 10 he covers the Russian Revolution and the later episodes deal with the subject matter, although I'm not sure how in-depth he goes but check out Reds and Whites, Anarchy in Ukraine, and The Collapse of The Whites (but also keep in mind that he really wears his biases on his sleeve.)
Thanks! I'm pretty good at teasing out biases like that. Although sometimes I get pissed off, like when I read Legacy of Ashes by that clown Tim Weiner.
