The Civil War in Russia (May 17, 1918 – October, 25, 1923) was a series of armed conflicts between different political, ethnic, social groups and State formations on the territory of the Russian Republic that followed the uprising of the Czechoslovak Corps in May of 1918.
The Civil War ended with the establishment of Soviet power in the greater part of the territory of the former Russian Empire, the Soviet Government's recognition of the independence of Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as the Russian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian and Transcaucasian Soviet Republics being formed on the Soviet-controlled territory, which signed the Treaty on the USSR on December 30, 1922.
The postage stamp features the monument For the Sons of Russia Who Fought in the Civil War by A. Kovalchuk in Sevastopol.
