The Chappin Rebellion in Siberia

On march third, 19 19, a squad of red soldiers tried to requisition more grain than was even stipulated in their orders from a small town. The enraged population mobbed the soldiers, disarmed them and deposed the local communist representatives. From this initial spark, flames of popular revolt fanned out across the vulga basin. After a week and a half of spontaneously spreading insurrections, a huge portion of the volga, around simara and simbirsk were in a state of acute anti communist insurrection. This was just as admiral colchuck's white armies were launching their attack, aimed at precisely this location.
