			{{cquote\|...it [is] possible to suppose that, if Russia is allowed to have peace, an amazing industrial development may take place, making Russia a rival of the United States.\|\|\|[[w:Bertrand Russell\|Bertrand Russell]], ''The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism'' (1920)}}
	At the end of the Civil War, Soviet Russia was exhausted and near ruin. The droughts of 1920 and 1921 and the 1921 famine worsened the disaster. The war had taken an estimated 15 million lives, including at least one million soldiers of the Russian Red Army who died in battle. Fifty thousand Russian Communists were killed by the counter-revolutionary Whites. Millions more were also killed by widespread starvation, epidemics, wholesale massacres by both sides, and even pogroms against Jews in Ukraine and southern Russia. The economic loss to Soviet Russia was 50 billion rubles, or 35 billion in current U.S. [[Dollar]]s. The industrial production value descended to 4-20% of the value of 1913.

	Many socialist theorists, particularly those in the [[Trotskyist]] tradition, cite the combined devastation of these two experiences as the basis for [[Stalin's]] rise to power and the reason for the dissolution of the [[workers' state]] established by [[Lenin]] and the original [[Bolsheviks]]. They argue that the [[proletariat]] had been crippled by both massive physical death and the destruction of [[class consciousness]]. What is more, they strongly emphasize the ruinous state that Russian economy was in after years of national conflict. They claim that the ascendency of [[Stalinism]] took root in the shambles of the country's socioeconomic system.

	It was not until the spring of 1918 that the [[Menshevik]]s and [[Socialist-Revolutionary Party]] joined the armed struggle against the Bolsheviks. Initially they had been opposed to war with the Bolsheviks but the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and the establishment of harsh [[dictator]]ial measures changed their position. They could have been a serious threat, as they had some popular support and the authority of their election victory on the Russian Constituent Assembly in 1918; However, they needed an army. An early attempt by the Socialist-Revolutionary Party to recruit Latvian troops in July 1918 was a failure. Fortunately, the [[Czech Legion]] proved to be a more reliable group to aid their "democratic counter-revolution".
