What: Peasant rebel groups and other anti-Bolshevik forces that emerged during the Russian Civil War. Why significant: The Greens were significant because they represented a third force in the conflict, distinct from both the Reds and the Whites. They were mainly rural-based and were motivated by a desire to resist the demands of both sides for conscription, requisitioning of food and supplies, and other forms of coercion. The Greens also embodied a tradition of peasant revolt and resistance that dated back to pre-revolutionary times. Decade/era: 1918-1922
