Over the course of the following | Over the course of the following spring, the [[Republic of Russia]] would launch the White Offensive, pushing [[RSFSR]] back considerably. This offensive also included a few minor encirclements, one in the village of Khodovarikha, one in Volonga, one in the entirety of the Kanin Peninsula and one in Tsenogora, where a quarter of the initial northern army group was crushed due to being unable to cross the Reka Mezen' river. In total half of the [[RSFSR]]'s northern army group would be lost, around 60 % of them taken as POWs and the rest getting killed. Two smaller encirclements would also be made in April and May, one in Koida and one in the forest west of the village of Pinega. During this offensive Karelia would join the war as an ally of the [[RSFSR]] on the 21th of March, breaking the short stalemate between him and [[Komi Republic|Komi]] forcing [[Komi Republic|Komi]] to retreat back to just his capital of Arkhangelsk where he would hold out for a while. The [[Republic of Russia]] would push all the way into [[RSFSR]] propper, capturing the village of Sogra. | ||
==== '''Operation Turnaround''' ==== | |||
On the 3rd of June, exactly one year after the start of the war, the [[RSFSR]] would use his southern army group to launch an offensive into core [[Republic of Russia|Republic of Russian]] territory, going through the undefended wasteland east of Kotlas, quickly capturing Kirov and spearheading north all the way to the Arctic Sea coast where he captured Chernaya, effecitvely rendering all the forces used in the White Offensive encircled. The [[Republic of Russia]] would manage to encircle Kirov and take back the city with the use of his local border guards in the region. This however did nothing to stop the western advances made the [[RSFSR|Red Army]] towards closing the encirclement and subsequently crushing half of the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]]'s military. In order to save himself from such a devestating defeat, the [[Republic of Russia]] sued for peace, in effect giving up much more land than the [[RSFSR]] ever occupied over the course of the war, his borders now stretching past the Ural Mountains, now all the war to the Ob River. | |||
