Czechoslovak Legion in Russia

[Comrade Hector]

I'm aware that a Czechoslovak Legion occupied Soviet Russia in response to the Wilson-Churchill call to (as Churchill put it) "Kill the Bolshie". Unfortunately, I know very little about this legion. Can anyone recommend any good sources on the subject? The only thing I can say, considering this it has become quite amusing that many right-wing Czechs whine continuously about so-called "Soviet Occupation".

[apathy maybe]

They were prisoners of war who fought for the Austro-Hungarian Empire (probably not voluntarily). They got free somehow (can’t remember) and then went and fought the Soviets.
