White Turns Red depicts the high water mark and key battle of the Russian Civil War at Orel, some 200 miles from Moscow. It was here that the White Army made its attempt to breakthrough to the Communist-occupied capital of Moscow. When the Whites seized the city of Orel from the weak Red Thirteenth Army using aircraft and tanks, Lenin and Trotsky were in panic mode. So much so, they began massive defensive works programs, building barriers on Moscow’s approaches. The White Army seemed unstoppable with its elite, well trained, and well armed Volunteer Army. All Communist resources were diverted and sent to the Orel area. First, the Reds had to halt the advance and then counterattack, otherwise, Moscow could fall.
