the red army
after a failed attempt to dislodge black army forces, denikin shifted his campaign from the north to the south. the white army's best cavalry troops, commanded by general konstantin mamontov and general shkuro, were transferred from the northern front to the gulyai-polye region of novorossiya. denikin's new strategy succeeded in driving out makhno's forces from part of ukraine, but at the cost of denuding forces opposing the red army. during october and november 1919, denikin's troops were defeated in a series of battles by red army forces. his caucasus regiments suffered the greatest losses, especially the chechen cavalry and others, who died by the thousands. towards the end of november, some of these troops mutinied, returning to their homes in the caucasus. this in turn began a slow disintegration of denikin's volunteer army. some historians note that if the anarchist forces had not won a decisive victory at peregonovka, blockading denikin's lines of supply and denying the white army supplies of food, ammunition, and artillery reinforcements, the white army would probably have entered moscow in december 1919. all through february, 1920 the free territory—makhnovist region—was inundated with red troops, including the 42nd rifle division and the latvian & estonian red division – in total at least 20,000 soldiers. after the souring and dissolution of nestor makhno's revolutionary insurrectionary army of ukraine with bolsheviks the captured red commanders and commissars were similarly summarily executed. however, makhno usually preferred to release the disarmed enlisted men that were captured, as "proletarian brothers", with a choice of joining his army or returning home, after all commanding officers were executed. this happened to an estonian red army unit that surrendered to makhno in 1920. viktor belash noted that even in the worst time for the revolutionary army, namely at the beginning of 1920, "in the majority of cases rank-and-file red army soldiers were set free". of course belash, as a colleague of makhno's, was likely to idealize the punishment policies of the batko. however, the facts bear witness that makhno really did release "in all four directions" captured red army soldiers. this is what happened at the beginning of february 1920, when the insurgents disarmed the 10,000-strong estonian division in huliaipole. to this it must be added that the revolutionary insurrectionary army of ukraine included a choir of estonian musicians. the problem was further compounded by the alienation of the estonians by anton denikin's russian nationalist view of malorossiya and their refusal to fight with nikolai yudenich.

after the comprehensive peace agreement of 2005 between the government of sudan and the splm/a, which formed the autonomous government of southern sudan, the nuer white army lost its remaining coherence. by february 2006, nuer elders interviewed by small arms survey workers acknowledged they had little or no control over the armed youths and said the incidence of cattle theft and other miscreant behaviour on the youths' part was increasing. riek machar, the white army's erstwhile wartime ally, announced the white army would be disbanded amidst a splm/a disarmament campaign in the region. however, it was not until a major defeat in may 2006 near motot, in jonglei's uror county, in which 113 white army fighters were reportedly killed for the loss of a single sudan people's liberation army (spla) soldier, that the fighters gave up their attempts at resistance, according to the small arms survey. the news service irin reported that more than 1,000 lou nuer men and boys in akobo county who had been part of the white army voluntarily surrendered their weapons to authorities in july 2006.
