White-White- (бело-), a prefix used by Bolsheviks to designate their real and alleged enemies of all sorts, by analogy with the White Army. - White-Guardist ("белогвардеец"): a member of the White Guard. The members of the White movement never applied the term "White Guardist" to themselves. Also, White-Guardists were called simply "Whites" ('белые', 'беляки') by their opponents.
- White-Finn (белофинн): a term introduced during the unsuccessful attempt to initiate a revolution in Finland in 1917-1918, and reintroduced as part of the propaganda related to the preparation of the Winter War against Finland.
- White-Cossacks(белоказаки): cossack military that fought against the Bolsheviks during the Civil War.
These terms were supposed to distinguish, e.g., "good Poles" from "bad Poles", and usually bore a derogatory gist. To obtain a prefix "white-" in one's papers while being imprisoned in the Soviet Union automatically meant application of Article 58.
