The regions of the Don and Ukraber were anti Bolshevik, but it was clear that whenever aries marched though Central Russia beyond a certain point they failed, though none could say what Central Russia Manted. Britain, however, could not finance a rivil war in Russia indefinitely. Our first concern was for our own country, where the shortest road to Bolsluvism was diuancial bankruptcy.
