This is poorly written. One could end up thinking that the battle of ShenKursk was between the Canadians and the USA and was the opening "white" rebellion against the Bolsheviks, when neither of these facts are correct.--Senor Freebie (talk) 22:05, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I second the above opinion. The opening lines read that the Bolsheviks won the Battle of Tulgas as a prelude to this, but wikipedia's article on the Battle states it was a failed Bolshevik offensive. This is inconsistent. Given the previous note of poor quality, this article need to be flagged as potentially wrong and in need of review.

~Bolshevik soldier[edit]

@Spinney Hill: Should we change Bolshevik soldier name to the name Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army soldier? Gnosandes (talk) 08:00, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think Bolshevik or Russiam SFSR would be better. Spinney Hill (talk) 09:03, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
