But not all of them accepted their fate lying down.

After terrible bloodshed, the Red victory forced thousands of Whites to flee their homeland forever. The Russian Civil War (1918-1922) split the country into several irreconcilable camps, but roughly speaking, most combatants sided either with the “Reds” (Communist) or the “Whites” (pro-Tsarist and anti-Communist). Spanish Civil War = Russian Civil War 2.0 Stunned, the remaining German tanks retreated. The BT-5 rammed the nearest T-1, overturning it. It was then that Commander Alexei Razgulyaev decided to turn his tank into a battering ram. Damage to the sight and observation instruments meant that the Soviet machine could no longer fire effectively at the enemy. In March 1938, a Soviet BT-5 light tank found itself outnumbered by a group of German T-1s. Not just the first, but also the second tank ram in history belongs to the Soviet Union, and again in Spain. On November 3, both his legs were torn off by a shell, and ten days later he died in the hospital from gangrene.

Osadchy himself didn’t have long to celebrate his feat.
