West Russian civil war

The West Russian civil war, also known as the Siberian Collapse, was a civil war in the WRRF's Siberian lands that occured during and after the West Russian War.
The civil war was waged between a number of combatants including; the WRRF who were supported by Vladivostok and later by the Free Republic of Salekhard, the Ob Military District which was formed by the NKVD under Lavrentiy Beria, the Stalinist West Siberian People's Republic under Lazar Kaganovich, the Revolutionary State of Tomsk under Iosif Apanasenko supported by the Trotskyite Central Siberian Revolutionary Republic, and the State of Barnaul under Vasily Shukshin supported by the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The civil war began when the WRRF's military front against the Greater Germanic Reich began to falter, and hundreds-of-thousands of Russian soldiers were dying on the frontlines. This caused many old ideological and strategic differences to re-surface as many questioned Georgy Zhukov's ability to win the war.
== Prelude ==
=== Zhukov's United Front ===
Georgy Zhukov, who took control of the remaining USSR-loyal forces east of the Urals, sought to create a united left-wing front which would focus on retaking European Russia. Despite internal differences between various factions, especially those in the NKVD loyal to the pragmatic Lavrentiy Beria and those loyal to the recently deceased Stalin, the various groups put their differences aside to work as a unified front against the Germans.
=== West Russian War ===
The economic crash in the Greater Germanic Reich gave the WRRF the best opportunity to attack across the Urals. Though Zhukov felt the army wasn't yet prepared, and disagreements between the various factions over which direction to conquer first, there was also a realisation that this might be their best opportunity.
Despite the initial successes of the West Russian War, it became a huge drain of manpower and resources as the Germans were able to bolster themselves on new defensive lines along the Archangel and Volga rivers.
