Title, we generally talk about the civil war on the russian side of the USSR, but what happened on the rest of the territory during the war, and how did socialist ideas expand so fast on the most underdeveloped parts of the Russian empire, and so many other smaller countries that where bordering the central and eastern parts of the russian area?

    All of the republics of the USSR had formerly been part of the Russian Empire. Poland and Finland broke off to form their own countries. The USSR was formed in 1922 with four republics: Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, and Transcaucasia. Transcaucasia was split into Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

    The five Central Asian republics were created from the Turkestan ASSR of the RSFSR. In 1920, the khan of Khiva (western Uzbekistan) abdicated and the Khorezm People’s Soviet Republic was formed. In 1924, Khorezm was split between the Turkmen and Uzbek SSRs. There was also the Emirate of Bukhara in eastern Uzbekistan, which followed the same path as the Khorezm PSR and was eventually split into the UzSSR and Turkmen SSR.
