| The results of the civil war were momentous. Soviet demographer Boris Urlanis estimated total number of men killed in action in Civil War and Polish-Soviet war as 300,000 (125,000 in the Red Army, 175,500 White armies and Poles) and total number of military personnel died from disease (on both sides) as 450,000.[31] During the Red Terror, the Cheka carried out an estimated 250,000 summary executions of "enemies of the people".[32][33] Some 300,000–500,000 Cossacks were killed or deported during Decossackization, out of a population of around three million.[34] An estimated 100,000 Jews were killed in Ukraine, mostly by the White Army.[35] Punitive organs of the All Great Don Cossack Host sentenced 25,000 people to death between May 1918 and January 1919.[36] Kolchak's government shot 25,000 people in Ekaterinburg province alone.[37] At the end of the Civil War, the Russian SFSR was exhausted and near ruin. The droughts of 1920 and 1921, as well as the 1921 famine, worsened the disaster still further. Disease had reached pandemic proportions, with 3,000,000 dying of typhus alone in 1920. Millions more were also killed by widespread starvation, wholesale massacres by both sides, and pogroms against Jews in Ukraine and southern Russia.
