Multiple sources state the Red Terror was officially decreed in September 1918 and lasted until 1922, matching the claim's 1918–1922 span; the post's own parenthetical '(1918-1922)' is faithfully extracted. Some sources note violence began earlier in late 1917, but the campaign itself is consistently dated to 1918–1922.
What we found
Supports. Wikipedia's Red Terror entry gives the date range as August 1918 – February 1922, saying it officially started in early September 1918 and lasted until 1922.[1]
Supports. National Geographic states the Red Terror was decreed on September 5, 1918 and lasted until 1922.[2]
Supports. The Saint Petersburg encyclopaedia and Mentalfloss both date the Red Terror's official proclamation to 5 September 1918, and historia.ro notes historians believe it lasted at least until 1922.[3][4][5]
Context. Some sources note that violence by Bolshevik forces predates the formal campaign (since late 1917), and the Britannica entry describes the campaign as initiated in September 1918 without an explicit end year.[1][6]
Context. The claim is extracted faithfully from the post's parenthetical '(1918-1922)' with no added scope; the post itself is a podcast episode title list and is not evidence.
