White Army An umbrella term for the various counter-revolutionary armies that fought the
Bolshevik Red Army in the
Russian Civil War. The name ‘Whites’ has been used to describe those loyal to a monarchy, ever since the French Revolution (1789), when monarchist forces adopted the white flag of the Bourbon dynasty as their symbol.
