Northern Eurasia 1919: Whites in Retreat

Uprisings behind Denikin's stretched lines, especially by Nestor Makhno's anarchists, brought an end to the White advance in the south. In October, the Soviets both defeated Denikin at Orel and broke through Kolchak's lines east of Tobolsk. By early November, Yudenich's attack on Petrograd had also been beaten back.
