"Where is the front? Wherever there is one foreign interventionist, one White Guard reactionary, one sentimental bourgeoise poet. That is where the front is." - Red commissar to Dr. Zhivago.
1. "Amid bloody onslaught on Ukraine, Putin is reminded about a Western intervention in Northern Russia"
From thebarentsobserver.com the article Atle Staalesen | February 15, 2023.
"I see certain similarity with the current situation," Arkhangelsk Governor Aleksandr Tsybulsky told Vladimir Putin as he outlined how British-led forces killed thousands of Russians and encroached on national sovereignty during the intervention in the White Sea region in 1918-1919."
British [along with other nations to include the USA] sending military forces top intervene in the Russian Civil War. Intervention that included the USE OF CHEMICAL MUNITIONS by the British.
Regarding that use of chemical weapons during the intervention in the Russian Civil War:
2. "Winston Churchill's shocking use of chemical weapons"
From www.theguardian.com the article by Giles Milton | 1 Sep 2013.
"The use of chemical weapons in Syria has outraged the world. But it is easy to forget that Britain has used them – and that Winston Churchill was a powerful advocate for them"
"Secrecy was paramount. Britain's imperial general staff knew there would be outrage if it became known that the government was intending to use its secret stockpile of chemical weapons. But Winston Churchill, then secretary of state for war, brushed aside their concerns. As a long-term advocate of chemical warfare, he was determined to use them against the Russian Bolsheviks. In the summer of 1919, 94 years before the devastating strike in Syria, Churchill planned and executed a sustained chemical attack on northern Russia."
Once again the foreign interventionists involve themselves in what the Russian perceives as an internal matter. One-hundred years later history is repeated with offense taken. Some people and nations have long memories.
