Russian Anarchy Period

The Russian Anarchy Period was a time in Russian history that lasted from 1915 to 1918. It was mainly caused by the Vilnius Conference Massacre which left Russia without many leaders, both military and administrative. This lead to a new power vacuum that was fought over by warlords, peasants, soldiers, and revolutionaries alike. Some historians consider this time to be the darkest in all of Russian history. Although others would argue that the current ruling communist party has created even more terror.
