The Czechoslovak Legion: An Army Crosses Siberia
Om avsnittet
In the chaos of the Russian Civil War, a force of 40,000 former prisoners of war fought their way across Siberia to reach Vladivostok. The Czechoslovak Legion, formed from Czech and Slovak volunteers, became the unlikely masters of the Trans-Siberian Railway, capturing the Bolsheviks' gold reserve in Kazan and clashing with Red partisans in the taiga. This episode follows the Legion's epic journey from the Battle of Zborov to the 'Anabasis' eastward, their alliance with Admiral Kolchak, and the final evacuation from Vladivostok in 1920. We explore figures like Milan Rastislav Štefánik, Radola Gajda, and the controversial betrayal at the Ipatiev House. A story of nationalism, survival, and the birth of a new state.
