'''Bolshevist Russia''' is a common term representing the ''Red'' side in the
Russian Civil War, or more specifically the
Russian government between the
Bolshevik's
October Revolution,
November 7,
1917, and the constitution of the
Soviet Union,
December 30,
1922.
''Bolshevist Russia'' ought to be distinguished from ''
Soviet Russia''. While both terms are informal, the latter one has a much wider historical frame.
Also, strictly speaking, they also differ geographically: in the 1917-1922 Bolsheviks controlled a relatively smaller territory (although gradually expanding) of the former
Imperial Russia.
