When you have a question or just to plunder the archives:
Yahoo
RussianCivilWar : a
non-political discussion group dedicated to the
Russian Civil War and related conflicts. A treasure trove of material
hides already in the previous posts.
Axis
History
Forum : A non-political
discussion group with sections on the Freikorps and the
"Interwar" period. The Russian Civil War is also often discussed in the
Soviet Union at War 1917-1945.
Maps
Berkeley
University
maps : topographical maps of the
Ukraine and the Russian Caucus,
which cover
most of the areas that the V.A. and A.F.S.R. campaigned in
(unfortunately not Orel) plus the southern theatre of the 1920
Polish-Soviet War, Makhno's campaigns and the French Intervention.
Applicable to WWII as well, of course. (
Update:
it
appears that the south Russian and Ukrainian maps are no longer on-line
to the general public at
the moment. Just as well I downloaded them all - send me
a mail if you want a particular map.)

topographic maps of Poland.

I have used for paper copies of ex-Soviet maps of the Baltic coast
