He highlights similarities and differences among their constitutional programs and ideologies, paying particular attention to the Kolchak government as the chief anti-Bolshevik force in the region. Through his analysis of the conflict Pereira attempts to determine whether parliamentary democracy stood any real chance under the extraordinary circumstances or whether it was, as the Bolsheviks alleged, merely window-dressing hiding the real agenda of counter-revolution by military means and restoration of the ancien régime. 606 $aAnti-communist movements$zRussia (Federation)$zSiberia 607 $aSiberia (Russia)$xHistory$yRevolution, 1917-1921 607 $aSiberia (Russia)$xPolitics and government 615 0$aAnti-communist movements 676 $a957.08/41 700 $aPereira$b N.
