As he assumed the title of Supreme Ruler of Russia in 1918, he headed the military dictatorship which ruled over the territories of the former Russian Empire controlled by the Whites. His main values in politics were Russian nationalism and militarism, in favour of which he opposed democracy as a principle which he believed to be tied to pacifism, internationalism and socialism.
