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-emigrant''' (белоэмигрант): any citizen of the Tsarist [[Russian Empire]] who left the country during the [[Russian Revolution of 1917|Russian Revolution]] or the [[Russian Civil War]] ([[1917]]-[[1922]]). White emigrants were perceived as a threat to the Soviet state, a source of [[espionage]] and [[counter-revolutionary]] plots. *'''White-Pole''' (белополяк): a term that appeared during the [[Polish-Soviet War]], and later reemerged during the annexation of a part of [[Poland]] in [[World War II]]. *'''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. the term continued to be in the subsequent use, e.g., in the context of the [[Karelian Uprising]]. *'''White-Chinese''' (белокитаец): a term denoting [[China|Chinese]] forces that fought together with the White Army in [[Siberia]] and the [[Russian Far East]], as well as [[anti-communism|anti-communist]] Chinese during the [[Chinese Civil War]]. *'''White-Czechs''' (белочехи): members of the [[Czech Legion]]. *'''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]].
