The war took an especially brutal form in the south of Russia and in Ukraine , and its Front Line s moved frequently, disrupting civilian life. All groups participating in the war engaged in atrocities and Pogrom s. The estimated total of fatalities amounts to seven million. The largest Green contingents were Ataman Grigoriev 's forces in the southern Ukraine and the Kuban - Black Sea Army (sometimes called the ''Red-Green Army'') estimated to be around 15,000 troops each and which fought against General Denikin 's Russian Volunteer Army in 1919 . Paramilitary bands in the Crimea united by 1920 into the Crimea Rebel Army , which fought together with the Red Army against Baron Wrangel . By the end of 1920 the Greens had dissolved: some became part of the Red Army (the ''Red-Greens''), others joined with the White Army (the ''White-Greens''). SEE ALSO |
