Baron Ungern was an anti-communist general in the Russian Civil War and then an independent warlord who intervened in Mongolia against China. A part of the Russian Empire's Baltic German minority, Ungern was an ultraconservative monarchist who aspired to restore the Russian monarchy after the 1917 Russian Revolutions and to revive the Mongol Empire under the rule of the Bogd Khan. His attraction to Vajrayana Buddhism and his eccentric, often violent, treatment of enemies and his own men earned him the sobriquet "the Mad Baron" or "the Bloody Baron". He was viewed by his Mongolian subjects during his rule as the "God of War".

The more I learn about the Russian civil war the more I realize that the "conservative" white army where a bunch of black lives matter tier globohomo multiculturalists while the Soviets were Russian ultra nationalist Chuds.
The good guys won that war, unironically.

The Bolsheviks were a bunch of urbanite jews brutalizing rural farm workers.

I’m so glad that Stalin killed them off.

>The whole world is rotten. Greed, hatred and cruelty are in the saddle. We intend to organize a new empire; a new civilization. It will be called the Middle Asiatic Buddhist Empire, carved out of Mongolia, Manchuria and Eastern Siberia. Communication has already been established for that purpose with Djan-Zo-Lin, the war lord of Manchuria, and with Hutukhta, the Living Buddha of Mongolia. Here in these historic plains we will organize an army as powerful as that of Genghis Khan. Then we will move, as that great man did, and smash the whole of Europe. The world must die so that a new and better world may come forth, reincarnated on a higher plane.

Ungern did nothing wrong. Most sources on his alleged atrocities are littered with ridiculous claims like him strangling an owl or riding a sleigh drawn by wolves. It seems rather obvious the communists gouged this from people who knew him or perhaps was given to them by people who claimed to know him and used as propaganda.

In reality Ungern was a focal point in the east for those who wanted to avoid the brutal regime the Bolsheviks were setting up to the west. There was a hope that the terrain and difficulty for the Soviets in moving troops and supplies plus assistance from other countries might allow them to resist long enough to maintain independence. After ousting the Chinese from outer Mongolia, Ungern showed uncharacteristic respect for the Mongols and Buddhism where most Russians, Tsarist or Bolshevik, viewed them as subhumans to be conquered. Even if he were an evil sociopath it would have been strategic for him to do so, since it would be pointless to make enemies of the Mongols, rather enlist them against the inevitable Soviet invasion.

His conduct in the war was also uncharacteristic of what we would expect of a warlord. Often a "benevolent" ruler loses control over their men and turns a blind eye to theft and rape, but Ungern promptly acted to curb it, despite the risk of officers turning on him as a result. He then quickly rallied recruits, trained them and sought outside support. It was in the interests of both the Chinese warlords and Japan to prevent Mongolia falling into the hands of the Soviets, however at this time China was a disorganized mess and Japan of course had their own ambitions and possibly favored a weakened China.

Despite circumstances out of his control he acted about as competently as a human being could before being defeated by overwhelming force.

He sperged out over finding some Soviet spies in his capital led his army on an invasion of Siberia despite being hopelessly outnumbered and having no logistical support. Basically, his bloodlust and total lack of political acumen got everyone who supported him killed, and provided justification for a Soviet counter-invasion that installed a communist regime in Mongolia.
