Orlando Figes Quotes

The Deeper The Whites Moved Into The Steppe, The More They Resorted To Terror Against A Hostile Population. Their Ice March Left A Trail Of Blood. It Was Perhaps Unavoidable, Given The Volunteers' Desperate Need For Food And The Reluctance Of The Peasants To Give It To Them. The Whites Were Stranded In A Red Peasant Sea. But There Was Also An Element Of Sheer Class War And Revenge In Their Violence, As In So Many Acts Of The White Terror, Which Was A Mirror Image Of The Class Resentment And Hatred That Drove The Red Terror. Terror Lay At The Heart Of Both Regimes.
