Russian people, against the peoples of the Ukraine The Russian Ukranians were referred to as White Russians.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Civil_War
several countries, the main hostilities took place between Communist forces known as the Red Army and loosely allied anti-Bolshevik forces known as the White Army, and the worst fighting took place from 1918 to 1920. The Communists won after four years of intense fighting, and established the Soviet

The White Russians would not have been as severe in their beliefs...........Much less spying on people than the communists....they were more democratic that the Red's.

White Russians were Russians who supported the Royal family of Russia.

The problem with this question is that the white Russians were not known for their kindness to the masses which is one reason for the 1918 revolution. so it's hard to say how they would have acted in victory. so your working 100% on speculation.

what you can assume it that once the rebellion was squashed the Whites may have moved toward social reform or risk another uprising. What may have arisen would be akin to what you see in Britain, a monarchy with some form of parliamentary system backing it.

WW2 would have seen a closer bond to the British than the Germans as the monarchies are related.

But honestly it is hard to say, some social changes were underway when the monarchy fell, but if the Romanov's decided to retain control they would have been susceptible to future Communist uprisings.

White Russians is a cocktail drink and Russians prefer their national drink Volka more. If white russians would have won than Volka would still be their national drink.

Volka on the rock, please
