Answer:
The
Tsar of Russia allowed the creation of an elected consultative Parliament which
was known as Duma. Duma had representatives from the third estate. The Tsar
dismissed the first Duma within 75 days and the re-elected a second Duma within
three months. He did not want any questioning of his authority. He changed the
voting laws and packed the third Duma with conservative politicians.
In
Russia, the 'reds' meant Bolsheviks, the 'greens' meant socialist
revolutionaries and the 'whites' meant pro-Tsarists.
The Bolsheviks were the majority group of workers under the leadership of
Lenin. During 1918 and 1919, the 'greens' (Socialist Revolutionaries) and the
'whites' (pro-Tsarists) controlled most of the Russian empire. They were backed
by French, American, British and Japanese troops who were opposed to the growth
of socialism in Russia.
