What was the result of the Russian civil war?

The Russian Civil War, which lasted from 1917 to 1922, resulted in the victory of the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, over the anti-Bolshevik White Army and various other factions. This victory solidified Bolshevik control over Russia and led to the establishment of the Soviet Union in 1922. The war caused significant loss of life, widespread destruction, and a profound transformation of Russian society and governance, ultimately leading to the rise of a communist regime.
