![Several unsanctioned incidents of mob violence were perpetrated by civilian supporters of the Bolsheviks. Shortly after the Bolshevik takeover of Rostov in November 1917, workers in Taganrog surrounded fifty officer cadets, who surrendered on the understanding that their lives were to be spared. They were taken to a metal factory and thrown
one at a time into the blast furnace. 19]
Several prominent figures also fell victim to this phase of violence. On November 20 (December 3), 1917, General Nikolai Dukhonin surrendered himself to the Bolshevik Krylenko in Mogilev. Despite Krylenko's efforts to defend the general, Dukhonin was lynched by a mob of Bolshevik sailors from the Baltic Fleet. [18]
The decision to enact the Red Terror was also driven by the initial "massacre of their 'Red' prisoners by the office- cadres during the Moscow insurrection of October 1917", allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, and the large- scale massacres of Reds during the Finnish Civil War in which 10,000 to 20,000 revolutionaries had been killed by the Finnish Whites. 17]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exux3ps4jkucx7r2p6ydvgv4/bafkreiahabc22jwfor3qolel2wozodhrpufmp5oap33ygprvxd6zdwldea)
