Best Answer

The Red side, as opposed to the White and Green sides.

The Reds were the Bolshevik and other socialist political party forces aligned with them, and not all of the socialists. The Whites were mostly imperialists who wanted the Bolsheviks thrown out. Some Whites wanted the Tsar restored to the throne, but some Whites just wanted a new government that was bot ruled by the Bolsheviks. The Greens were anarchists who wanted no government but just to be left alone to live their own lives. They knew that no matter what type of government came in, they would still be oppressed. And they were.

After Nicholas II was arrested, the politicians in the Duma decided to give a lead to Russia. They set up the 'Provisional Government' until elections could be held later in 1917 for the 'Constituent Assembly.'
