How "Ukrainian Chimera" incited the Civil War

120
100 years ago, in February 1918, the Red Army won the first major victories in southern Russia. As a result of the two-month bloody battles, the Soviet troops cleared of the White and White Cossack Don. Also, Soviet troops won up over the forces of the Central Rada, February 8 1918, taking Kiev.

General situation



The fronts of the Civil War in their usual, finished form did not appear immediately. Even before October, on the ground, especially in national suburbs, national “governments” appeared with their military formations, which set a course for “autonomy”. After the Bolsheviks took power in Petrograd and Moscow, in a number of areas, both the forces of counter-revolution and the forces supporting the socialist revolution are becoming established. For example, on the Don, on the one hand, there was a large proletariat, nonresident peasantry, virtually powerless, Cossack front-line veterans who accepted the left-wing ideas and revolutionary soldiers, and on the other hand large landowners (Cossack generals and officers) and Cossack-kulaks who used centuries privileges, also came here "white" to create a counter-revolutionary army. They start fighting with each other. The final folding of the fronts of the Civil War will occur later, with the beginning of a large-scale external intervention. Invaders will support one or another of the counter-revolutionary forces - the whites, the White Cossacks, the nationalists, so that they become their striking force in the struggle against the Bolsheviks (the Reds).

Gradually, against the general background of minor clashes of local significance, larger military events and operations will appear. At this time, military operations were mainly associated with the main directions, usually coinciding with the directions of through railway lines. The military historian N. Ye. Kakurin called this period of the Civil War a period of “echelon war” (“How the revolution fought”). Both sides had at this time a small number of active bayonets and sabers, they were poorly organized, it tied them to the lines of railways: "... the struggle was almost exclusively" echelon "character." The small number of troops, the echelon nature of the war, with great mobility, maneuverability created a picture of unusual diversity and diversity. The “Army” of several hundred people, traveling around in echelons, quickly and unexpectedly concentrated on important areas and solved strategic tasks in a short time.

The strategic operations of the "echelon war" were reduced by the counter-revolutionary forces to the organization of "armies" and the expansion of space, to control communications and resources, from the revolutionary forces - to expand and consolidate the territory under Soviet control and bypass the enemy forces to put out the fire at the initial stage.

Counterrevolution on the Don

On the Don, counterrevolutionary forces were led by the Don government, Ataman A. M. Kaledin. General Kaledin, who was removed from the command of the 8 Army, for not accepting the February Revolution and refusing to comply with the Provisional Government's order to democratize the troops, arrived at the Don. At the end of May, Kaledin took part in the work of the Don Military Circle and, against his will, yielding to the persuasion of the Cossack public, agreed to be elected a military ataman.

The confrontation between the central government and the Don began under the Provisional Government, as well as the formation on the spot of several centers of power. So, in May 1917, the Regional Congress of Peasants decided to abolish private ownership of land, however, the Don Army Circle declared the lands of the Don "historical property of the Cossacks ”and decided to recall the Cossacks from the apparatus of the Provisional Government and from the Soviets. This led to an intensification of rivalry between the two power structures - the Troops Government and the Soviets of Workers, Soldiers, Peasants and Cossack Deputies. On September 1, 1917, the Minister of War of the Provisional Government A.I. Verkhovsky ordered the arrest of Kaledin for involvement in the Kornilov rebellion, but the Don government refused to comply with the order. As a result, A.F. Kerensky conceded and canceled the arrest order.

After October, the situation became even more acute. In the cities, especially in Rostov and Taganrog, the socialist parties prevailed, with distrust of the Cossack government. The Mensheviks numerically prevailed in all the dumas of the Don Region, the central bureaus of trade unions and in many Soviets. They were inferior to the Social Revolutionaries and Bolsheviks. Moderate social democrats did not want to support the Soviet government, as they continued to consider the transition to socialism in Russia premature. On the other hand, they feared the Cadet-Kaledin dictatorship. Therefore, the Mensheviks called on their organizations to play the role of a "third force".

Ataman Kaledin declared the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks criminal. The Don government "temporarily, until the restoration of the power of the Provisional Government and order in Russia, ... assumed the fullness of the executive state power in the Don region". Kaledin invited members of the Provisional Government to Novocherkassk to organize the struggle against the Bolsheviks and is trying to establish control over the Don Region. October 26 (November 8) 1917, while in Rostov the Council tried to take power into their own hands, Kaledin imposed martial law in the coal-mining region of the region, sending Cossacks there. 2 (15) November Kaledin issued an order to impose martial law in the entire Don region. In all industrial centers military units were deployed. The Soviets were liquidated, the workers' organizations were closed, their activists were dismissed from their jobs and were expelled with their families outside the region. 7 (20) November Ataman Kaledin, realizing that the time of the Provisional Government was irretrievably gone, appealed to the population of the Don region with the statement that the Military Government does not recognize the Bolshevik government, and therefore the region is proclaimed independent before the formation of the legitimate Russian government.

Troops Ataman of the Don Cossack Area, cavalry general Alexei Kaledin

At the same time, the Don started forming the nucleus of the future White Army (For more information, see: How to create a volunteer army; How the battle for the Don began). 2 (15) November, General MV Alekseev arrived in Novocherkassk from Petrograd. Kaledin formally refused the request to “give shelter to the Russian officers,” not wanting to aggravate relations with the Cossacks, who were returning home from the front en masse and generally supported left-wing ideas, wanted peace, enough to swallow the vicissitudes of war. But in general, the ataman closed his eyes to creating the backbone of the white army and informally supported this process. Alekseev is actively forming his organization (“Alekseev organization”). 4 (17) November created the first military unit - Consolidated Officer Company. Then formed the Junker battalion, the Summary Mikhailovsko-Konstantinovskaya battery and other parts.

Most of the Cossacks did not want to fight and sympathized with the Bolsheviks, so Kaledin had to turn to Alekseev when the Bolshevik uprising began on November 25 (December 8) in Rostov. After several days of stubborn fighting, by December 2 (15), Rostov was freed from the Reds. Kaledins and Alekseevs also captured Taganrog and a significant part of the Donbass.

In December, General L. G. Kornilov arrived in Novocherkassk. The general originally planned to go to the Volga region and further to Siberia to head there counter-revolutionary forces. But he was persuaded to remain in the south of Russia, despite disagreements with General Alekseev. It was a matter of financing whites and their support from the Entente. In the second half of December, at a meeting of white generals with delegates of the Right Center, an agreement was reached on the division of powers between the Kaledin-Alekseev-Kornilov triumvirate. Triumvirat became the head of the Don Civil Council, created to lead the White movement throughout the territory of the former Russian Empire and claim the role of the All-Russian government. The countries of the Entente entered into contact with him, sending their representatives to Novocherkassk.


Supreme Head of the Volunteer Army M. V. Alekseev

20 December 1917 (2 January 1918) Ataman Kaledin officially authorized the formation of volunteer units on the territory of the Don Region. Officially, the creation of the “Volunteer Army” and the opening of a record in it was announced on 24 December 1917 of the year (January 6 1918). 25 December 1917 of the Year (January 7 1918 of the Year), it was announced that General Kornilov assumed the post of Army Commander, who was called Volunteer by his initiative. As a result, Alekseev remained the leader of the army (political leadership and finance were behind him), Kornilov commander-in-chief, General A.S. Lukomsky — chief of staff, General A.I. Denikin — chief of the 1 division. Lieutenant General S.L. Markov, who served as chief of staff of the 1 Division and commander of the 1 Officer Regiment formed by him and received his own patronage after Markov’s death, became the “Kornilov’s Spire”.

It is worth noting that, given the position of most of the Cossacks, the white, counter-revolutionary forces could not create a large army on the Don. Kaledin failed to raise the front-line Cossacks to fight the Soviet government. The Cossacks, returning from the front, overwhelmingly went home and did not want to fight. Moreover, many of them supported the first decrees of the Soviet government. Among the front-line Cossacks, the idea of ​​"neutrality" in relation to Soviet power was widely adopted. The Bolsheviks, for their part, sought to use this hesitant mood of ordinary Cossacks, receiving support from the so-called. "Labor Cossacks". Front-line Cossacks seized power in the villages and did not support the anti-revolutionary course of the Don government.

Eventually The "neutrality" of the Cossacks prevented Kaledin, Alekseev and Kornilov from forming on Don a truly numerous army of volunteers and Cossacks. The volunteer army was perceived by the Cossacks as a force that encroached upon their autonomy and which led to a clash with the central Soviet authorities. In addition, the Don government also did not become a strong, authoritative power, it was torn apart by contradictions. Many of its members hoped to “come to terms” with the local revolutionary institutions and their loyalty towards the Soviet government to reconcile Red Petrograd with Don and avoid hostilities. As a result, only about 5 thousand fighters entered the Volunteer Army.

The counter-revolutionary nationalist government of Ukraine

In Kiev, after the February revolution, the Central Rada entered the arena of political life. During this period, two opinions prevailed among the Ukrainian intelligentsia regarding the future of Ukraine (Little Russia). Supporters of independence (independent), led by N. Mikhnovsky, advocated the immediate declaration of independence. Autonomists (V. Vinnichenko, D. Doroshenko and their supporters from the Association of Ukrainian Progressists) saw Ukraine as an autonomous republic in a federation with Russia.

In this case, it must be remembered that the overwhelming majority of the population of Little Russia (Little Russians, Southern Rus, Rusyns, etc.) did not consider themselves to be “Ukrainians” at that time. The word "Ukraine-Ukraine" originally meant the outskirts of the Commonwealth and Muscovy. “Ukrainian Chimera” - the idea of ​​the existence of an “ancient Ukrainian people”, separate from the Russians, was created in the ideological centers of the Vatican, Poland, Austria-Hungary and Germany (this inheritance was later adopted in England and the USA). The goal is the dismemberment of a single super-ethnos of the Rus (Russian people), the bleeding of the Russians with the Russians (the future “Ukrainians”), the weakening of the passionate, demographic and resource potential of the Russian civilization and the people. With the subsequent assimilation of "Ukrainians" (ethnographic material for refreshing the blood of Americans, Canadians, French, etc.), transcoding them into the "cannon fodder" of the West, creating permanent enemies of the Russians who remained. Previously, a similar program was worked out on the Polish-glades.

At the beginning of the 20th century, only a handful of marginal nationalist intelligentsia considered themselves “Ukrainians”. The rest of the inhabitants of the Ukraine, Ukraine were ordinary Russian, who had their own territorial, linguistic and everyday characteristics. For example, the Cossacks of the Don, Kuban, Orenburg, Siberia, the Pomors in the North, the Siberians, etc. had the same features. And even earlier the residents of Ryazan, Tver, Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov, etc. had the same features. But everything they were representatives of one Russian super-ethnos, and not separate ethnic groups, ethnic groups.

Now a handful of national separatists had the opportunity to spread their views to most of the population in a vast region. They got this opportunity only because of the beginning of the Troubles in Russia. Otherwise, the Ukrainian nationalists would have remained on the sidelines of the social and political life of Little Russia. Besides, on the nationalists relied on as the powers of the German bloc, and the Entente, who cherished plans for the dismemberment and seizure of the territories of Russia, the solution of the "Russian question" - the exclusion of the Russian civilization and the people from the Great Game.

4 (17) March 1917, the creation of the Ukrainian Central Council was announced. In her welcoming telegram addressed to the head of the Provisional Government, Prince Lvov and Minister of Justice Kerensky, from 4 (17) in March, and in the “Appeal to the Ukrainian people” in March, Central Rada declared support for the Provisional Government. In a welcoming telegram, in particular, gratitude was expressed for caring about the national interests of Ukrainians and the hope that “the time for the complete fulfillment of our long-standing aspirations for a free federation of free peoples is not far away”. 9 (22) March, the election of the leadership of the Central Council. The recognized leader of the Ukrainians, Professor Mikhail Hrushevsky, one of the leaders of the Ukrainian Progressives Association, who was serving a link in Moscow at that time, was elected in absentia as chairman of the UCR. He was temporarily replaced by V. Naumenko, and D. Antonovich and D. Doroshenko were elected vice-chairmen.

It should be noted that The Central Council was formed without prior arrangement by persons who declared themselves “deputies” from groups, circles and small organizations that had emerged from the revolutionary wave, who had declared themselves parties. Thus, the population of Little Russia did not in the slightest degree represent the CR and was an institution that was completely arbitrary. Ukrainian nationalists took advantage of the turmoil and chaos that began in Russia to declare themselves power.

With the arrival of Grushevskogo Central Rada launched an active activity, with the aim of forming Ukrainian statehood and gaining independence by Ukraine. That is, the Ukrainian nationalists acted as one of the detachments for the collapse of historical Russia, contributing to the development of unrest and chaos in the territory of the former Russian Empire. "Ukrainian Chimera" - as a state and a people - had no historical, state or national roots, therefore, its creation led to a number of serious problems, aggravating the general confusion.

The Ukrainian Social Democrats and the Ukrainian Social Revolutionaries made up the majority in the CR. Their goal was to form the national-territorial autonomy of Ukraine in Russia, which was later supposed to be transformed into a treaty federation. At the same time, Ukraine was to receive maximum autonomy, including with its own delegation at a future peace conference, and with its army. In the Ukraine at that time there were other centers of power. The provisional government in Kiev was represented by the provincial commissariat. The actual power in their areas and on the ground was held by the Soviets of workers, peasants and soldiers. Thus, in the Kiev Council of Workers' Deputies, Menshevik leaders initially dominated, but soon the Bolsheviks began to play the leading role in it.

6 — 8 (19 — 21) On April 1917, the All-Ukrainian National Congress was held. As a result, the process of forming the Central Rada was completed. The delegates to the congress elected a new composition of the Central Rada and a new Presidium of the UCR. Hrushevsky was re-elected head of the UCR, S. A. Efremov and V. K. Vinnichenko became his deputies. They also headed the legislative and executive body of the 20 man - the Central Rada Committee (later called Malaya Rada). The resolution of the congress stated: "In accordance with the historical traditions and modern real needs of the Ukrainian people, the congress recognizes that only the national-territorial autonomy of Ukraine is able to satisfy the aspirations of our people and all other peoples living on Ukrainian soil." The resolution recognized that the main problems facing the country can be discussed and solved only by the Constituent Assembly. However, there was a requirement that “except for representatives of the warring powers, and representatives of the peoples on whose territory the war is taking place, including Ukraine,” took part in the future peace conference, which indicated a desire to turn Ukraine into a subject of international law.


Ukrainian politician Vladimir Kirillovich Vinnichenko

The decisive demand for “the immediate proclamation by a special act of the principle of national-territorial autonomy” was also contained in the decisions of the First All-Ukrainian Military Congress, which took place in May 1917, on the initiative of a new socio-political organization - the Ukrainian Military Club named after Hetman Pavel Polubotka, led by N. Mikhnovsky. The goal of the Ukrainian Military Club was to Ukrainize military units deployed on the territory of Ukraine and create the Ukrainian army. The military congress called for the immediate appointment of the Minister for Ukrainian Affairs under the Provisional Government, the reorganization of the army according to the national-territorial principle, the formation of the Ukrainian national army, as well as the "Ukrainianization" of the Black Sea fleet and section of the Baltic Fleet. That is, the arrogance of Ukrainian nationalists grew as Russia decomposed. True, in general, the position of the "autonomists" this time still won.

Based on the resolutions of the congresses, the Rada drew up a special memorandum to the Provisional Government. The Provisional Government was expected to have a “principled attitude of goodwill” towards the slogan of autonomy. Requirements were put forward: the participation of "representatives of the Ukrainian people" in the international discussion of the "Ukrainian issue"; proposed to appoint a “special commissioner” for Ukraine’s affairs; to raise the fighting efficiency and restore discipline, it was proposed to single out the Ukrainians into separate military units both in the rear and at the front. It was actually the main step towards the creation of a separate army, that is, an independent state. In addition, it was envisaged to extend the Ukrainization of the elementary school to the secondary and higher education, to carry out the Ukrainization of the administrative apparatus, the amnesty or the rehabilitation of the repressed persons of Ukrainian nationality. At the same time subsidize the Ukrainian government structures from the center. That is, to conduct the “Ukrainization” of Little Russia at the expense of the Russians themselves. Very Jesuit move.

16 (29) May, a delegation of the UCR headed by Vinnichenko and Efremov headed for Petrograd. The UCR Memorandum was considered at the meeting of the Legal Meeting of the Provisional Government, however, no clear, precise decision was made regarding the claims submitted. The provisional government, as usual, preferred to wait passively for subsequent events. The revolutionary revolutionaries, having destroyed the weak, in their opinion, royal power, turned out to be complete nonentities in the sphere of foreign and domestic policy.

The weakness and passivity of the Provisional Government pushed the CR to take more decisive action. 3 (16) June, the government reported on the "negative decision on the issuance of the act of autonomy of Ukraine." On the same day, at a general meeting of the Central Committee, it was decided to appeal to the people with an appeal "to organize and proceed to the immediate laying of the foundations of an autonomous system in Ukraine."

The 5 (18) of June in Kiev opened the 2-th All-Ukrainian military congress, convened contrary to the ban of the Minister of War A. Kerensky (ignored). The congress was held in the spirit of the complete victory of Ukrainian separatism. Speaking to the participants of the 7 congress (20) of June, Vinnichenko made it clear that the slogan of the autonomy of Ukraine within Russia, the rejection of violent measures in defense of national demands - these are only temporary, tactical moves. 10 (23) of June, at the meeting of the Central Rada Committee, the First Universal was adopted and announced at the military congress on the same day, proclaiming unilaterally the national-territorial autonomy of Ukraine within Russia. The legislature of the autonomy was declared the National Ukrainian Assembly (Sejm), elected by universal equal, direct, secret ballot. The decisions of the Seimas received priority over the decisions of the future All-Russian Constituent Assembly. The CR took responsibility for the current state of affairs in Ukraine, and additional charges from the population of Ukraine were introduced to ensure its activities. In addition, it was decided to create a national-territorial army.

16 (29) June, the Central Council established the General Secretariat - the executive body. Vinnichenko was elected chairman (prime minister) of the General Secretariat (government). S. Petliura took the post of Secretary General for Military Affairs. The General Secretariat adopted the Declaration, in which the Central Committee was named the highest not only the executive, but also the legislative body of the entire organized Ukrainian people.

On June 28 (July 11), a delegation of the Provisional Government, composed of A. Kerensky, I. Tsereteli, M. Tereshchenko, arrived in Kiev with the goal of establishing relations with the Central Rada. The Provisional Government made concessions: they did not object to the autonomy of Ukraine, but the Constituent Assembly should have finally decided the issue. The government also recognized the General Secretariat as the highest regulatory body of Ukraine, and reported that it would favorably consider the drafting of a national-political statute of Ukraine by the Ukrainian Rada. In response, the CR also lowered the tone and 3 (16) July released the Second Universal, in which it was stated that "we, the Central Council, ... always stood for not separating Ukraine from Russia." The General Secretariat was declared "the body of the Provisional Government", etc. In response, the radicals raised an uprising (Revolt of the Polubotkovets), but they quickly suppressed it.

Independence declaration

In mid-July, the Ukrainian delegation arrived in Petrograd for approval by the Provisional Government of the composition of the General Secretariat and the Statute of Higher Management of Ukraine (in the final version - the Statute of the General Secretariat). The Central Council was recognized by the body of the revolutionary democracy of all peoples of Ukraine, its goal is the final introduction of the autonomy of Ukraine, the preparation of the All-Ukrainian and All-Russian constituent assemblies. The General Secretariat was declared the highest authority to which all local authorities must comply. It included the creation of a board of general secretaries from 14, whose authority extended to all areas, with the exception of international relations. The Interim Government retained only the functions of approving the composition of the General Secretariat, the bills adopted by the Rada and its financial requests. All the laws of the Provisional Government were deprived of direct action - they could enter into force only after they were published in the Ukrainian government newsletter in the Ukrainian language.

The Provisional Government rejected the Statute and 4 (17) of August replaced it with the Provisional Instruction to the General Secretariat of the Provisional Government in Ukraine. The general secretariat turned into a local body of the Provisional Government, its eligibility extended only to five of the nine Ukrainian provinces claimed by the CR (Kiev, Volyn, Podolsk, Poltava and Chernihiv (without four northern counties). The number of secretaries-general decreased to seven - the secretariats were eliminated military, food, court cases, communications, postal and telegraphs. Quotas were introduced based on nationality: at least three of the seven secretaries-general require axis to appoint persons who do not belong to Ukrainian nationality. It is clear that the Ukrainian separatists did not like it. .

It should be remembered that the course of the Ukrainian separatists who usurped power was still not popular among the people. So, July 23 (August 5) in Ukraine held elections to the city government bodies. Supporters of the independence of Ukraine they completely failed, not getting a single place (!); All-Russian parties received 870 seats, federalists - 128. Thus, if further events were going along the lines of traditional democratic elections, the Ukrainian national separatists would have no chance of remaining in power. The overwhelming majority of the South-West Russian population of Little Russia did not want any “separatism” and “Ukrainization”.

The CR was not a full-fledged state body, but was only a kind of social institution, which, however, very skillfully used the all-Russian confusion, the passivity of the Provisional Government, and consistently went towards its goal (the collapse of Russia into parts). There was no real power and the General Secretariat. Government agencies ignored him, his activities were not funded, and taxes, as before, went to the Russian treasury.

The state meeting in Moscow, held at the initiative of the Provisional Government in August, was boycotted by the Central Committee. After the insurrection, Kornilov Rada announced that in Ukraine the only legitimate authority was the CR and the Secretary General.

After the October Revolution, the CR went into a tactical alliance with the Kiev Bolsheviks in order to prevent the transfer of loyal government troops from the South-Western Front to Petrograd. However, further actions of the Rada led to a rupture. Outraged, the Bolsheviks left the Regional Committee and the Small Council. The command of the Kiev Military District, which retained the military power with the consent of Malaya Rada, with the help of the loyal parts of the Provisional Government, smashed the premises of the city Soviet of Workers' Deputies, which caused a Bolshevik uprising in Kiev. The CR dragged loyal units to Kiev, including transferring troops from the front. Within a few days the Bolsheviks were driven out of the city.

Ukrainian separatists got the opportunity to extend their power. The General Secretariat took over the affairs of the military, food and communications. The CR extended the authority of the General Secretariat to Kherson, Yekaterinoslav, Kharkiv, Kholmsk and partially Tauride, Kursk and Voronezh provinces. 6 (19) of November, the Ukrainian representatives sent to the Headquarters agreed with the Chief Chief NN Dukhonin on the issue of re-forming front-line units in order to create a Ukrainian army based on ethnicity and territoriality.

7 (20) of November by the decision of the Minor Rada, the Third Universal was adopted on an emergency basis, which proclaimed the creation of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UNR) in federal connection with the Russian Republic. It was announced about the inclusion in the UNR of the territories, the majority of whose population are "Ukrainians": Kiev, Volyn, Podolsk, Kherson, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkov, Ekaterinoslav provinces and counties of Northern Tavria (without Crimea). From the point of view of joining parts of the Kursk, Kholmsk, Voronezh and neighboring provinces and regions with the majority of the “Ukrainian” population, the final determination of the boundaries of the UPR was to take place “by agreement of the organized will of the peoples”.

    As a result of the two-month bloody battles Soviet troops cleared the white and white Cossacks of the Don. Also, Soviet troops defeated the forces of the Central Council, taking Kiev on February 8, 1918.

    This is what the October Revolution and the dispersal of the Constituent Assembly led to: bloody battles
    , i.e. to the civil war.
    They promised a "world without annexations and indemnities", and gave a fratricidal war with victims greater than in the WWII and the sale of a third of Russia to the invaders.

        Dear Varyag, I understand that you want to justify the Bolsheviks with all the fibers of your soul (of which you are obviously pretty sympathetic), but ... please, have the courage to face the truth — there were no open battles before the Bolsheviks came to power. The Provisional Government, for all its shortcomings, sought to resolve the contradictions through negotiations, rather than exterminating the opposite side. And the fact that the Civil War, which began after the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks and the violent dispersal of the DC, on which just the people had hoped for a peaceful resolution of the issue of the transfer of power and state structure, lasted another whole 4 (!) Years, which proves that the people are just -so and did not eager to support the Bolsheviks. Otherwise, the war would have ended by the end of 1918 ...

          Not respected Teterin, do not pass off your lies as truth. Yes, the fighting began with the advent of the Bolsheviks, it really is true, BUT ... And here begins the clever manipulation of facts and the substitution of concepts, or more simply, your impudent and undisguised lie. The battles did not start red, they did not need this war for nothing. They picked up a power that just lay underfoot. Your liberal provisional government has nothing to do with anything but language. As a result, by the summer of 1917 the country practically did not exist and this is a confirmed fact. If your government was at least something, then it would not have allowed it to be so easily overthrown. But in the end, there was no one even to defend him, except for a company of junkers and a woman’s battalion.
          But your white-bellied unleashed a civil war, and even invited the invaders here. Before the second flood, you can try to hang your noodles on my ears, about the "noble" white-bellied and bloody red ones, I have your feces on the side. The facts will remain facts and you will never wash the black crow to white and terror, and the civil war unleashed by the whites you adore. But in fact the traitors of their homeland. The real officers served with the Reds, and were not the litter of the Entente.
          You can continue your bowel movements, I repeat, I have on your side your stormy fecal fantasies. laughing

            Varangian, you are an amazing person. Not only do you distort facts for the sake of your views, but also do not know how to communicate without insults. As I understand from your profile and posts, you are an officer. Then I do not understand the reasons why you dishonor the honor of the uniform, polluting your speech with streams of insults and arenas in the style of characters in bad Hollywood films.
            Now for your arguments.

            It’s strange. Contemporaries of those events, unlike you, did not think so. There was a single economic, railway mechanism of the country. The Ukrainian "Rada" recognized itself under the control of the Provisional Government. But the "UNR" was announced only on November 20 — just after the Bolshevik coup. Varyag, understand the real split of the country, not negotiations with an attempt to bargain for autonomy within unified countries began precisely after the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks.

            Oh really? Probably Kornilov ordered a popular demonstration in support of the US to be shot? And the Decree “On Red Terror”, probably, dictated to Ulyanov? And did the “Southern Front against counter-revolution” establish in 1917 Denikin? Or maybe it was Kolchak’s personal guard that consisted of Latvian shooters?

              Again a lie. It was the “Comrade Trotsky” who invited the “Intervents” together with the Murmansk Council of Deputies.
              Oh how?

              - Excuse me, but I also ruined the chapel ?! laughing

                Varangian, did you follow the link? Looks like no. I repeat — this is a site the communists. The link to it goes to the archives of the USSR. Are you going to blame your ideological comrades for falsification? Or do you think that the Soviet archives are fake?
                Here is a quote for you if you are afraid to read the site:
                Note by A.M. Yuryev to V.I. Lenin

                13 hours]. April 10, 1918

                Comrade To Lenin.

                The first one. Yesterday morning, the official telegram was addressed [to] by the Council of People's Commissars, only a copy to Podvoisky.

                The second one. Your words: “we advise you to accept the help of the British” and “by all means drive the White Guards away” - does it mean to accept the military assistance of the British and French, expressed in sending their insignificant, however, detachment to help our Red Army?

                The third. Is it possible on point two to officially declare on behalf of the Council of People's Commissars about accepting assistance in the defense of the middle and northern parts of the Murmansk road from the Finnish White Guard.

                We understand that, perhaps, you cannot officially say this. Then we take responsibility and do it ourselves. But we need to be sure here that our actions do not go against your plans. The exact expression of your approval will be kept secret.

                Fourth. About minesweepers we send special paper to the Maritime Commissariat and the Arkhangelsk centroflot and Sovdep, without which we will not, of course, solve the issue.



                13 hours 30 minutes.

                At the apparatus of comrade Stalin. Accept the answer:

                Help accept. To deal with minesweepers in the institutions you are talking about, and there are no obstacles on our part. The combination should be completely unofficial. This case belongs, as it were, to the category of military secrets; in keeping the secret, you are responsible as we are.

                It seems clear; if you are satisfied, then I think the conversation is over.

                Lenin.

                Stalin.

                Yuriev: I believe that we are acting not contrary to you, but on our own.

                Stalin: In addition, act absolutely secretly and more or less autonomously.

                Yuriev: So we will ask the British and French to help the armed forces defend the middle part of the Murmansk road on their behalf.

                Stalin: In addition, do not forget to move the border guard to the previous borders in the west, considering that the strip given up under the contract, under changed circumstances, now remains with us.

                Yuriev: What about the Russian-Finnish Commission? 6

                Stalin: Send the commission to the Council of People's Commissars, saying that they did not receive instructions from the latter in the sense of giving back the band.

                Yuriev: Thank you for the nice message. Do not hold Podvoisky, send as soon as possible.

                Stalin: Goodbye, comrade. Good luck.

                Murmansk. April 10, 7.

                Fund 2, on. 1, d. 25617 - copy

                Here. Read. There is even a link to the archival fund. Soviet archival affairs. You will argue that this is all a fake? What did the Soviet archival workers forge the correspondence of the Soviet leadership in order to denigrate “Trotsky”, “Lenin”, “Stalin”?
                Moreover, the site where I get the quote from is communist. Section of the site is “the complete works of Lenin”. Do you want to say that I faked "PSS" and the site?
                If so, then I must ask a legitimate question — Varangian, and are you friends with reality at all? Or do you live in the mania of an alternative story where everyone lies to you and serves you all the fakes?

                  The guarantor, I repeat for those who are on an armored train. I don’t give a damn about your fake sites, I don’t need your links either to the Communists or to anyone else, you’ve been caught lying so many times that I’m not going to waste my time rechecking your lies. The fact that you are lying is as clear to me as God's day, and for this I do not need to go to the left resources and spend my time studying the supposedly believable documents.
                  The whole problem is that I found my great-grandfather and great-grandmother from the village of Nikolaev Rostov Region alive, who were direct participants in the WWII and the civil war. A bunch of relatives have survived who remember their parents who lived at that time and I know exactly how they lived and what they fought for.
                  So, contrary to your deceitful agitation, my great-grandfather was forcibly forced to fight just by the whites, not the reds. In 1919, during one battle with the First Mounted Army of Budyonny, your "noble" and "brave" white officers were so frightened by the red cavalry that they left the rank and file to the mercy of fate, and themselves shamefully fled. Left without officers, ordinary Cossacks showed no resistance and surrendered to Budyonny without a fight. Nobody shot them, nobody put them in jail, the offer was simple, or leaving weapons and horses back home, or staying with weapons and horses, but go to the First Horse Army. My great-grandfather went to Budyonny and fought against him until the end of the civilian. He was awarded the Order of the Battle of the Red Banner. Then he fought in the Second World War, was awarded the Order of Glory of the 3rd and 2nd degree, for the PMV he also had two Georges of the 4th and 3rd degrees and an award checker. He was not a communist, but he fully supported the Soviet regime.
                  So with your fakes you can treat anyone, but not me.
                  By the way, my maternal great-grandfather fought for the whites, was an esaul, but then he disappeared somewhere, but his son, my grandfather, was an ardent communist, went through two wars, a career officer, two wounds and a lot of awards. So I have, as it is, by whom to study history, and not your fakes.

As an example, remember how I, referring to Gilyarovsky, proved to one "linguist" that the word "Caucasian" was used in the 30s. And I also proved to him, with reference to Dzhugashvili, that the Bolsheviks called themselves Communists. There are these messages in the archive of my comments — you can view them.

                      You know, all your tricks, jokes, and other crap that you hide behind me have no effect. You can certainly go into discussions, but the question is for what?
                      It's all just outrageous, you are not trying to reveal the truth, you are purposefully trying to distort history, to spoil, to smear shit on the Soviet period. After all, everything lies on the surface, are you trying to convince everyone of what? The fact is that the Bolsheviks came to power illegally, which means that everything they did then was illegal, that is, by doing so you are trying to belittle the achievements of the USSR. And these were really the greatest achievements, never, in any country in the world, there was anything like this and never in its history Russia has reached such heights as under Comrade Stalin. It was under him that Russia turned into a superpower, the equal of which was neither before nor after. It was this country, this system and this people that broke the neck of world imperialism in the person of Nazi Germany and its satellites, including ALL Europe. It was Stalin, with his vision, who was able to raise the country twice from ruins and devastation, into which your white militants drove this country. Yes, exactly so, it was your beloved crystal bakers that brought the country to ruin, first the Russian-Japanese war, the revolution of 1905-1907, then the bloody imperialist massacre, then the coup, the overthrow of the tsar by your white-hunters, then the civil war and intervention unleashed by them Entente countries, then they also went in the ranks of the Wehrmacht and the SS to kill their people. Yes, they did all this, your adored "noble" officers. Then they served the American errands, trying to inflict the greatest possible harm to the USSR, which, surrounded by a hostile west, rose from the ruins.
                      The question is, why are you doing all this? What do you need4 supposedly the truth about those events? NO, you don’t see any truth in your eyes, your task is to denigrate, slander and belittle the achievements of the SOVIET PEOPLE.
                      What do you blame the Bolsheviks? Brest peace? Again, it was not the Bolsheviks who brought the country to this shameful agreement, they were forced to agree to save the country from complete occupation. What else? Loss of territory? Again a lie, it was not possible to keep them at that moment. And then, we all returned and even more. Yes, both Finland and part of Poland were part of the Republic of Ingushetia, but what's the point? They were actually independent, having their own parliaments and so on. As a result of the Second World War, the Soviet Union returned the lost territories, and returned it with interest. In the West, the USSR received all its lands, with the exception of Finland, which became neutral, we received Kaliningrad, which was never part of the Republic of Ingushetia. We received not just a piece of Poland, but completely Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria. Yes, they were not part of the USSR, but were completely controlled by Moscow. When was this with RI? NEVER this was not even in the heyday of Russia under Catherine the Great.
                      Not a single country has achieved such a pace of development as it was under Joseph Stalin. Industrialization was carried out at a tremendous pace; factories were built like hot cakes. Yes, all this was done by incredible work, but it was done for the people, for the good of the people and for the greatness of the country. So that we can all live now, including such abominations as you and your kind. Were it not for the USSR, there would be no you.
                      It is disgusting that you and others like you spit on the achievements of my ancestors, who stood and defended this country. You spit on the graves of my grandfathers and great-grandfathers who created all this. And for what? Yes, precisely in order to kill the pride in the current generation for the country, to make them repent and crawl on their knees in front of the West.
                      Do you think no one understands what you are doing here? You are mistaken, I see right through you. You boast that you are a "Russian Patriot", something babbling about your "honor" there. What are you speaking about? You are an ordinary selling abomination without honor or conscience. Everything that you do should be regarded as a betrayal of the homeland. However, it is still not clear where you have your homeland.
                      So continue on until you have taken that opportunity. I would love to turn your face into a bloody yushka because you spat on the graves of my grandfathers, but it’s a pity you won’t do it on the Internet. So frolic aunt, while your week, but remember that there will be a holiday on my street and God forbid you fall into my hands.

                  The fact is that if it were just nonsense, it would be possible to ignore. But, the problem is that these nonsense began to be strongly exaggerated and introduced into the consciousness of the masses. And it’s okay that only all sorts of Teterins, Olgovichs and other local gang of dirty tricks would sin, they started to sin at the state level, namely, the former Crimean prosecutor, and now the State Duma deputy Poklonskaya and her sympathizers. And this is a purposeful policy to undermine state principles and an attempt to split the country ahead of the elections. That is, methodical and purposeful work is underway to split the society, and then there is a stone's throw to the Maidan in Russia. Considering that the people are split, there are a lot of people who are dissatisfied, and even coupled with the multinationality of Russia, you can raise such a flurry that Ukraine will appear as flowers.

              Again a lie. It was the “Comrade Trotsky” who invited the “Intervents” together with the Murmansk Council of Deputies. These figures were nowhere redder.

              Speak as it really was. Do not forget the role of the Finns in WWI. “The intervention began as an alliance between the Bolsheviks and the Entente countries to protect against white whales and German troops. On March 1, 1918, the Murmansk Council (Acting Chairman Aleksei Yuryev) informed the Council of People's Commissars of the proposal received by British Rear Admiral Thomas Kemp (Eng. Thomas Webster Kemp). The proposal was limited to protecting the forces of the British troops of the Murmansk Railway from the German and (or) White-Finnish troops. Leon Trotsky, who was the People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs, replied what the proposal was should take.
              Yuryev concluded on March 2, 1918, a “verbal agreement” with the following content: “§ 1. The highest power within the Murmansk region belongs to the Murmansk Sovdep. § 2. The supreme command of all the armed forces of the region belongs to the leadership of the Soviet of Deputies to the Murmansk Military Council of 3 persons - one for the appointment of the Soviet government and one each from the British and French. § 3. The British and French do not interfere in the internal management of the area: all decisions of the Council of Deputies, which are of general importance, they are informed by the Council of Deputies in those forms, which, according to the circumstances, the cases will be deemed necessary. § 4. The Allies take care of supplying the region with the necessary reserves ”(Documents of the USSR Foreign Policy. T. 1. M., 1957, p. 221). [10]" And see the book by Chris Mann, Christer, Jorgensen. The war on in the north, chapter one, why did the Bolsheviks go for it, so not everything is clear and obvious, and the role of Germany, Finland and Mannerheim in the intervention in the north is also great.

                  And what do you think, it is better to give military and dual-use cargo to the White Finns and Germans, or to agree that the Germans and white Finns will capture everything. It was then that the Bolsheviks, together with the British, fought against the Germans and White Finns. The British, French and Americans were thrown from the North by the end of 1919, but the war with the White Finns continued until 1922. This war against Russia was led by Marshal Mannerheim, a former Russian general.

                Read from Drabkin how front-line officers treated the political leaders. When in the 60-N. C, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by all former political leaders and the PMC, then the front-line soldiers regarded this as their insult. Drabkin can read a lot of interesting things

          have the courage to face the truth — there were no open battles before the Bolsheviks came to power

          Did not have. But let's face it - who started the war?
          The first stage of the civil war began from the moment of the armed seizure of power by the Bolsheviks on October 25, 1917 and continued until March 1918. This period can be safely called moderate, since no active military operations were observed at this stage. The reasons for this are that the "white" movement at this stage was only forming, and the political opponents of the Bolsheviks, the Socialist Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks, preferred to seize power by political means. After the Bolsheviks announced the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries realized that they could not succeed in seizing power, and began to prepare for an armed seizure.


          Pay attention to the first line of the first stage. How it all began.
          And then - the law of survival. Either you kill, or they kill you. (In this case, “you” is a figure of speech, not an appeal to an opponent).

Together with the rear units of the Latvian riflemen and the Lithuanian Life Guards regiment, the Bolsheviks surrounded the approaches to the Tauride Palace. Supporters of the Assembly responded with demonstrations of support; according to various sources, from 10 to 100 thousand people participated in the demonstrations. On January 5, 1918, as part of the columns of demonstrators, workers, employees, and intelligentsia moved to Tauride and were shot from machine guns. From the testimony of the worker of the Obukhov plant D.N. Bogdanov of January 29, 1918, a participant in the demonstration in support of the Constituent Assembly:

        Remember. The fact that only one of the leaders of the White movement in the conspiracy was Alekseev. And then there is still debate about his participation. Kornilov? Yes, he participated in the arrest of the Imperial family, but he behaved very correctly, and the Empress later expressed gratitude to him. His actions generally resemble an attempt to protect the royal family from revolutionary free-will. Drozdovsky, Wrangel, Kutepov, Turkul, Denikin — not only did not participate in the conspiracy, but did not even hear anything about him.
        Anyway, your attempt to justify the Bolsheviks' actions by betraying several officers of the Imperial Army looks the same as the criminal’s attempt to justify the robbery with the words: “Citizen is a boss, and he passed all such a shaved and good little finger next to me!” Your words are unconvincing.

                Do you, like Mr. Varyag, prefer to argue with reality and not notice the arguments given to you? There is no evidence of the participation of the Army's top leadership (with the exception of Alekseev and Ruzsky) in the conspiracy. There is nothing but telegrams that they sent based on the information received from the Headquarters. But for you this is an “argument” in favor of their participation in the conspiracy. There are modern studies, and not one that speaks of the participation in the conspiracy of Ruzsky and some generals of the General Headquarters, but do not confirm the participation of the commanders of the fronts. But it’s obviously more convenient for you to ignore the facts and blame all the generals at once.

                  Really no. Here are just telegrams. And from whom. The front commanders respond positively to the question of the desirability of renunciation: Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich (Caucasian Front), General Brusilov (South-Western Front), General Evert (Western Front), General Sakharov (Romanian Front), General Ruzsky (Northern Front), Admiral Nepenin (commander of the Baltic Fleet). Admiral Kolchak, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, wags like a prostitute: he refrained from sending a similar telegram, but he “unconditionally agreed” with the opinions of others, like General Headquarters Headquarters General Alekseev, one of the steering conspiracies.

          Denikin, because of his greed and delusions of grandeur, scoured the whole south of Russia and Transcaspia, playing Kolchak nobility did not understand why he was dragged from Siberia to China, and as a result of their nobility they paid for his betrayal with interest!

This decision was executed by the commander of the Petrograd Military District Kornilov. VC. Cyril, commander of the Guards Naval Crew, did not participate in this. Long before that, he announced the transfer of his unit to the side of the VP and ordered the seamen to occupy the railway stations of St. Petersburg.

And if in his place there was some kind of psychopath or "revolutionary revolution"?

    I read the article and marvel at the twists and turns of consciousness of the author, he is ready to blame everyone - the Cossacks, "independent Ukrainians", white officers, the British, the Entente - all but the real culprits of the outbreak of the civil war - the Bolsheviks who seized power. It is strange that the author did not ascribe the beginning of GV to the actions of the Martians or the secret sect of the dark servants of Mordor. wink
    The final folding of the Civil War fronts will occur later, with the beginning of large-scale external intervention.

    Here's how you can lie so shamelessly? The southern front of the Volunteer Army formed in early 1918, when there was no "intervention" at all. The northwestern army of Yudenich fought without the real support of the British - they only spoke bravura speech and sent broken rifles into the trash. In the East, the Komuch army began to fight without any support of the Entente, and then, after being converted into the Kolchak army, the support of the Entente was about the same as that of Yudenich - Kolchak never saw any normal military equipment, nor units of allies near his troops.

    Even before October, national "governments" with their military units appear on the ground, especially in the national suburbs, who are heading for "autonomy."
    July 7, 1917, I arrived in Kamenetz-Podolsk. There is confusion at the headquarters of the commander in chief: Kornilov had just arrived, appointed instead of Gutor ... Kornilov met me kindly and accepted with the words: “I demand from you the Ukrainization of your corps. I saw your 56th division, which is part of the 81st army Ukrainized, she fought beautifully in the last attack. You will Ukrainize your other divisions, I will return the 56th to you, and you will have a beautiful corps. " This 56th division was temporarily torn from me and given to the 8th Kornilov army, but I was with two divisions in the 7th army. I replied to Kornilov that I had just been in Kiev, where I watched Ukrainian figures, and they impressed me rather unfavorably that the corps could later become a serious case for the development of Ukraine in an undesirable sense for Russia, etc. Kornilov told me that , I remember his words perfectly, they struck me: “All this is nonsense, the main thing is war. Everything that at such a critical moment can strengthen our power, we must take. As for the Ukrainian Rada, we will find it out later. Ukrainize the corps” .. ..Pavel Skoropadsk th. "Memories" .....

    For some reason, instead of qualified coverage of the history of the emergence and development of ethnopolitical problems, the reader receives some kind of mantra about the struggle of the superethnos with universal evil, which has nothing in common with history and does not serve anything constructive.

            Officers from the old army fought on both sides. There were fifty-five thousand tsarist officers in the Red Army. In Belaya - forty thousand. But here the graduates of the most prestigious, most elite Nikolaev General Staff Academy of the Red Army served even more than the whites.
            In total, more than six hundred officers and generals of the General Staff were in the Red Army. Of the twenty commanders of the Red Fronts, seventeen were cadre officers of the tsarist era. All chiefs of staff of the fronts are former officers. Of the hundred commanders of the Red Armies, eighty-two are tsarist officers in the past. The Bolsheviks also had the former Minister of War Polivanov and Admiral Altfater.
            A huge role at the time was played by the appeal of a group of former tsarist generals, who called in 1920 for officers to go over to the Reds.
            Here are quotes: “The free Russian people freed all the peoples that were subject to it and made it possible for each of them to self-determine and arrange their own lives at their own discretion .... At this critical moment in our people’s life, we, your senior comrades, appeal to your feelings of love and devotion to your homeland and urge you ... to voluntarily go with complete selflessness and hunting into the Red Army and serve there not for fear and for conscience, so that with our honest service, not sparing our lives, to defend Russia at any cost to us and not to allow its plunder, because in the latter case it could irretrievably disappear, and then our descendants will curse us fairly ... for that that we ... do not use ovali his military knowledge and experience, have forgotten their native Russian people and ruined their Mother Russia. "
            The appeal was signed by famous and respected people in the old army: generals Polivanov, Zayonchkovsky, Klembovsky, Parsky, Baluyev, Akimov, Admiral Gutor. The first was the name of the most authoritative military commander, General A. Brusilov.
            And this appeal, by the way, was a huge success. After it appeared, another twenty thousand tsarist officers came to the Red Army.

        "And how is that?"
        And this is what up. Once again, you are raising a wave where you completely lack relevant knowledge. Therefore, my comment also aroused your amazement and the only question, “How is this?” Here, get ready, accumulate knowledge, then come. While there is not even a desire to waste time. All the best.

    As a result of two-month bloody battles, Soviet troops cleared the whites and white Cossacks of the Don. Also, Soviet troops defeated the forces of the Central Council, taking Kiev on February 8, 1918.

    There was no Soviet army then! Errors in the small give rise to distrust in the big.
    In February 1946, the Red Army was officially renamed the "Soviet Army".

    Let the one who dumps everything in a heap
    reads memoirs of eyewitnesses of those terrible days
    People were ready to dump anywhere in those days - to the south of Russia, to Ukraine, etc.
    The main thing is to get away from central Russia - and the nightmares of the regime of War Communism, coupled with the dictatorship of the "proletariat", that is, not so much the proletariat itself, as the "intelligentsia" and "semi-intellectuals" of one of the parties that seized power as a result of a coup d'etat

    It is interesting to read about the White Movement "from within" and the reasons for its collapse - the primary sources - Shulgin "1920", Drozdovsky's "Diary ..", Mamontov "People and Horses", General Shkuro "Notes of the White Partisan". These little-known sources show the White movement from within very well, including the relationship with the Ukrainian national authorities, Austrians and Germans.

    Everything is clear with the author, the “Ukrainian chimera” has kindled a civil one and encroached on a superethnos.
    The church of the 16th century again, again we ..
    The comments were interesting ... Truth did not even try to participate. Among Russians / Russians there is still no non-conflicting topic of their past. Especially 1917 and the GV. Who is to blame - the eternal question. And they begin to argue so that only checkers can be distributed and banners can be sewn. The units of the opponents are ready.
    Do you ever make peace inside? And then according to the comments, I really returned to this era, when the brother of the brother, the citizens of one country enthusiastically slaughtered each other ... Moreover, the horses mixed up in a heap, and not only one side was also “partners” from other blocks.
    The past of Russia is harsh, it must be accepted as it is. Do not be shy about losing, learn from, accept the mistakes of the past, do not exalt or create an idol. They usually love with their hearts. Despite the flaws. So put the checkers back. This is the past, the future ahead and the present outside the window.

      So this condition is artificially maintained! Very convenient for diverting attention from pressing issues. If you notice, almost all articles are in the nature of a sketch. Open the "History" section. Where is the story? At Shpakovsky. The rest are on the fan. But such a character, if desired, can be given to any historical event. Ukraine is simply among such events. Very comfortable position.

    Nikitin,
    Quote: Nikitin-
    He swore allegiance to the Emperor, but the Emperors said to obey the EP.

    Oh, that you have tired of me with your false obstinacy!
    Do you recall the request of Chief of Staff Alekseev to the front commander for abdication?
    Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich also violated the oath the day before the Tsar’s abdication and, as a means of pressure on him, removed his Guards crew from the protection of the Tsar’s family, appeared under the red flag in the State Duma, providing the newly-born rescuers of the fatherland with their guards to guard the arrested Tsar’s ministers and issued an appeal to other troops to join the new government!
    “treason and cowardice and deceit are all around” - the last entry in the royal diary made on the night before renunciation. It was one of the creators of the conspiracy, Adjutant General Alekseev, who contributed to the appointment of Kornilov as commander of the Petrograd Military District, in order to discern the monarchical speeches of all the Kutepovs, Drozdovskys, Khans of Nakhichivansky and Kornilov there, he did his dirty work perfectly, moreover, he personally awarded the non-commissioned officer Pola Voly with the George Cross the fact that on February 27 1917 shot him in the back with the head of the training team of the Volyn regiment, staff captain Lashkevich!
    What's wrong?

      Alekseev was not a participant in the conspiracy, as evidenced by the fact that 1 telegrams of his confrontations were sent AFTER the capture of Petrograd by deserters and lumpen, the destruction of the Cabinet and AFTER the creation of the so-called Petrosovet. SO are the conspirators AFTER the events? belay

      Alekseev contributed to the appointment of Kornilov as the commander of the Petrograd Military District, in order to pinpoint the monarchical speeches of all the Kutepovs, Drozdovskys, Khans of Nakhichivansky and Kornilov there did an excellent job

      Kornilov’s candidacy was nominated the chief of the General Staff General Mikhnevich and the chief of the Special Department for the designation of army ranks, General Arkhangelsky, Alekseev only transferred it to the Emperor for approval.

      What Drozdovsky in March 1917, what is the matter with you? belay Yes, and Kornilov arrived in Petrograd March 5 only- WHEN is he “presek”? After .... renunciation? fool
      Quote: Serg65
      Moreover, with his own hand, he awarded the non-commissioned officer of the Volyn regiment Kirpichnikov with the George Cross for the fact that on February 27, 1917 he shot the head of the training team of the Volyn regiment, staff captain Lashkevich!

      Not the Kornilov awarded but the TEMPORARY GOVERNMENT, he only complied with the decision. You are not familiar with the award procedure?

    The author had a good idea: to tell how they reacted to the Provisional Government in the south, but did not finish it: he talked about the Kaledin government, but for some reason forgot about the Kuban Regional Council and immediately jumped to the Central Council in Ukraine.
    "Kaledin formally refused" to give shelter to the Russian Ocritism "because the so-called" Volunteer Army "did not have a base for formation, Kaledin and his entourage" Volunteers "called:" wandering musicians ", and one of the volunteers spoke about the Kaledin government:" pr *** in the bed of the German General Staff. "And the Kaledins cocked up:" volunteers "the cat on the pillow at pro *** po." So that their relationship was "cordial"
    Neutrality later led to the Veshensky Uprising. When the Cossacks became more acquainted with their comrades: Apfelbaum, Bronstein, Ioffe, Rosenfeld and other Russophobes.
    The reasons for the Veshensky uprising can be read from Sholokhov, very, very many in Moscow did not like the book "Quiet Don" and M. A. .. Actually they dictated how to write, you can read about this in the letters of Sholokhov himself. By the way, the academic publication of Quiet Don was published and it would be nice to compare how the author immediately wanted to write
