Ranks and insignia of the White Movement

However, there were new features and modifications compared to the old system: After the defeat in the Civil War, White troops were evacuated abroad, beginning with Wrangel's troops that escaped from Crimea to Turkey in 1920, and until Zemskaya Rat escaped from the Far East to China and Korea in 1922.

Military formations of the White Movement continued to exist in emigration.

In China, White formations took part in local conflicts wearing the same uniforms and rank insignia.

The longest surviving example of such insignia was the Russian military school in Tianjing (1940).

During the WW2, attempts to restore the system of ranks of the Whites in pro-German collaborator formations were not successful; a known exception is the Russian Corps in Yugoslavia, which had ranks and insignia of the White movement in 1941-1942.
