Church parish records during Russian Civil War

Many parishes continued to record births, marriages and deaths during the Russian Civil War (1917-1923). A lot of people were displaced during the war, so the records are much harder to find since they might not appear in the previously attended church. Records are in disarray, some events were not recorded right away, but on the other hand, many things from previous years were recorded and rerecorded. It is not uncommon to find in 1920’s register books records about 1917-1919 and even pre-revolutionary events, going back as far as late 1800’s.
