The Czechoslovak Legion: Train Robbery Across Siberia
Om avsnittet
In the chaos of the Russian Civil War, a force of 40,000 former prisoners of war seized control of the Trans-Siberian Railway and held it for months, fighting Bolsheviks, anarchists, and the elements. This episode follows the Czechoslovak Legion from its formation in Kiev to its epic armored-train journey eastward, the capture of Kazan and the tsar's gold reserve, and the tragic massacre at the village of Suchan. We explore the legion's internal divisions, the role of French General Maurice Janin, the controversial death of Admiral Kolchak, and the final evacuation from Vladivostok in 1920. A story of nationalism, survival, and betrayal at the heart of a broken empire.
