One on One Bruce Bendinger – maker of new documentary about WWI Czechoslovak Legions in Russia
The story of the Czechoslovak Legions in Russia is one of the most remarkable episodes of the first world war. Independently formed units of Czechoslovak soldiers, they had fought with the Russian Army and at first sided with the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution. However, they later joined forces with the White Army against the Reds, before eventually making their way home – via the Trans-Siberian railroad – in 1920.
