I am trying to find out what weapons were used in Russian Civil War of 1917. Strangely, I was able to find only rifles and machine guns. There is no trace of tanks or airplanes, or chemical weapons, even if Russia had plenty of it in WWI. Right now it looks like somebody was deliberately avoiding the use of war machines, allowing the use only of guns.

If you were able to find any list with war machines used by Russians, please let me know.

Thanks a lot. Very useful information.

If you enjoy history and want to learn more, I highly recommend Hardcore History by Dan Carlin. Very even keeled, in-depth and captivating pod cast, he even dips into conspiracy angles occasionally. There’s a great five-part series on WWI called “Blueprint for Armageddon”.

I’ve downloaded and paid for a few episodes just because I like to support quality work, but you can download the entire series (mostly) on Pirate Bay if you want.
