anti-communist insurgencies in Central and Eastern Europe

From Warlike




Anti-communist insurgencies continued in Central and Eastern Europe during and after World War II. They were suppressed by the Soviet Union and its satellite states. Prominent movements include:

  • The Ukrainian Insurgent Army fought a guerrilla war until they were defeated in 1956.
    •
  • Mirdita Tribesmen under Gjon Markagjoni sparked an uprising against the Hoxhaist regime in 1945, and were suppressed in 1950.
  • The anti-Soviet Hungarian Revolution took place in 1956. Unlike the other movements given here, it was aimed against the domination of the Soviet Union, but not against the ideas of socialism and communism. Hungarian communists were among the leaders of the revolution, and Béla Király, who commanded the National Guard in the revolution, described it as being held by the working class and put emphasis on the revolutionary workers' councils.
  • Baltic partisans known as the "Forest Brothers" fought until they were defeated in the mid 1950s.
  • Romanian anti-communist resistance movement fought until they were defeated in 1962.
  • Moldovan anti-soviet resistance groups including the "Black Army" fought until they were defeated in the Summer of 1950.
  • Polish "cursed soldiers" fought a guerrilla war until they were defeated in the early 1950s.
  • The Bulgarian "Goryani" fought until they were defeated in the mid 1950s.
  • Croatian ultra-nationalist insurgents known as the "Crusaders" fought a guerrilla war until they were defeated in the early 1950s.
  • Chetniks fought until eradicated in the early 1950s.
  • Belarusian Black Cats fought until they were defeated in 1946. Pockets of resistance continued into the early 1950s.
  • In Russia, former members of the Kaminski Brigade, a collaborationist militia that was later reorganized into an SS unit, and supporters of the so-called "Lokot Autonomy" reorganized RONA as a partisan movement and fought until 1951.
