Under "October Revolution" The following is written: "Liberal and monarchist forces, loosely organized into the White Army, immediately went to war against the Bolsheviks' Red Army, in a series of battles that would become known as the Russian Civil War. This did not happen in 1917. The Civil war began in early 1918...". The "This did not happen in 1917" is a redundant clarification. If it were omitted, The viewer would still know the civil war did not happen in 1917. Mruserman (talk) 01:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The said revolution should be 5yrs in total not 6 yrs( From 1917 to 1922) Yes indeed not only the years but the months and dates also having an error. 183.82.251.14 (talk) 20:44, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The capital was renamed to Petrograd in 1914 and maintained this name until being renamed Leningrad in 1924. The original name of Saint Petersburg wasn't restored until 1991. Surely "Petrograd" should therefore be used? Matthewr140 (talk) 09:16, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
