Victories of Denikin’s army in New Russia and Little Russia

On August 18 on 1919, the Red Front in Novorossia collapsed; units of the 12-th Soviet Army were surrounded in this area. 23 — On 24 of August Denikin’s troops took Odessa, and on 31 of August they took Kiev. In many ways, the relatively easy victories of Denikin’s in New Russia and Little Russia were related to the internal problems of the Bolsheviks in the Ukrainian SSR and the activation of other enemies of Soviet Russia.

Victory Denikin in New Russia and Little Russia


The offensive of the Volunteer Army in the Kursk direction covered the movement of the Denikin strike groups in Little Russia and New Russia from the east. While the 1st Army Corps of General Kutepov fought on the outskirts of the Kursk fortified area, the 3rd Separate Corps of General Schilling left the Crimea in early August 1919 with the support of the White Black Sea fleet took possession of Kherson and Nikolaev. Then the 3rd corps aimed at Odessa.

On August 18, the Red Front in New Russia collapsed. The forces of the 12-th Red Army, which stood at the front of Kiev - Odessa - Kherson, were diverted to the east. Odessa was defended by the 47-I division, but it had extremely low combat efficiency, since it began to be formed in the city only in the summer by 1919 from mobilized local residents who were not distinguished by high fighting spirit. In general, the Reds had for the defense of the city 8-10 thousand people, but most of them had low moral and combat training. But the red command and representatives of the Soviet government could not organize strong resistance. Panic started in Odessa. There were rumors of a huge white landing and enemy fleet. In addition, the city was in a dangerous situation due to the peasant uprising in the district. On the night of August 23, a white squadron under the command of the captain of the 1 rank, Osteletsky, together with the auxiliary fleet of the British fleet, appeared suddenly at Sukhoi Lyman and landed troops under the command of Colonel Tugan-Mirza-Baranovsky (Consolidated Dragoon Regiment - more than 900 fighters).

The Red Command could not organize the defense of the coast, so the white landing landed calmly. Movement to the city also took place with virtually no resistance. The batteries and units along the way surrendered and went over to the white side. The Russian cruiser "Cahul" ("General Kornilov") and the English "Karradok" followed the coast along with the advancement of the landing and opened fire on the squares at the request of the landing. At the same time, an uprising of clandestine officer organizations began in Odessa. At the very beginning of the uprising, the building of the Odessa Cheka, the headquarters of the Defense Council and the headquarters of the military district were seized, and many red leaders were arrested. There was no particular resistance anywhere.

By noon, learning about the enemy landing, all the top red leaders fled from the city — the military commissar of the district, the chairman of the Defense Council of the Odessa military district Boris Kraevsky, the chairman of the Odessa Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine Yan Gamarnik and the commander of the 45 Division Iona Yakir. Until the end, only the chairman of the Odessa Provincial Executive Committee of the Council of Workers 'and Soldiers' Deputies Ivan Klimenko remained. This led to the failure of defense and evacuation measures. Attempts by individual red units to organize resistance were suppressed by ship fire. The mobilized Red Army soldiers of the 47 division simply ran home at the first sounds of artillery shelling. An attempt to evacuate from the area of ​​the railway station, where large forces of the Reds gathered, was thwarted by ship fire.

Thus, a relatively small white landing with the support of naval artillery and the rebellious Odessa officer organizations captured the huge city by the night of 23 August 1919. By the morning of 24 August, all of Odessa was under the control of the White Guards. Denikinites captured rich trophies. On August 25, the Red Army, with the support of an armored train, tried to recapture the city. However, the naval artillery again worked well - its armored train was destroyed by fire, and the railway track was badly damaged. The Reds finally retreated north. Having lost Odessa, the Reds were forced to leave the entire south-west of Little Russia. The southern group of troops of the 12 army under the command of Yakir (45 and 58 infantry divisions, Kotovsky’s cavalry brigade) was surrounded, and began to retreat along the Petlyura rear to Zhitomir to join the main forces of the 12 army. Parts of the Southern Group marched with battles over 400 km, on September 19 occupied Zhytomyr and joined forces. In September and October of the 1919 of the year, the 12-I army held defenses on both banks of the Dnieper north of Kiev.

The group of General Yuzefovich (2 Army and 5 Army Cavalry Corps) was advancing in the Kiev direction. This offensive continued in August, when the red Southern Front launched a counteroffensive and created a threat in the Kharkov direction. The 5th Cavalry Corps captured Konotop and Bakhmut, interrupting the direct connection between Kiev and Moscow. At the same time, the 2-th Army Corps, moving on both banks of the Dnieper and overturning units of the 14-th Red Army, went to Kiev and the White Church. On August 17 (30), the troops of General Bredov crossed the Dnieper and entered Kiev almost simultaneously with the Petliurites advancing from the south. Even a joint parade of troops was planned. However, after several provocations and shootings, Bredov gave the Petliurists 24 hours to evacuate from the city. 31 August 1919 Kiev remained with the White Guards.

Subsequently, the white troops of the Kiev region and Novorossiya, from the north, east and south, gradually occupied the territory between the Dnieper and the Black Sea. The remnants of the right-bank group of the 14-th Soviet Army retreated beyond the Dnieper.

About the reasons for the easy victory of Denikin’s army in Little Russia


It is worth noting that in many respects the relatively easy victories of Denikin’s in New Russia and Little Russia were related to the internal problems of the Bolsheviks in the Ukrainian SSR and the activation of other enemies of Soviet Russia. So, in Ukraine-Little Russia, in parallel with the war of white and red, there was a peasant and rebel war, a criminal revolution.

The policy of "war communism" in the Ukrainian SSR was superimposed on existing problems and contradictions, and caused new ones. As a result, the Reds had strong positions only in cities, at the locations of military units and along the railways along which troops were deployed. Next was the power of either local governments and self-defense units, or atamans and bateks, or a zone of anarchy and chaos. Against the backdrop of the defeats of the Red Army at the front, the White began a new wave of atamanism. Atamans had thousands of soldiers with artillery, their trains and steamers subordinate. They controlled vast rural areas. The Red Army, associated with the struggle against the whites, could not divert significant forces to suppress them. In addition, as already noted more than once, the red units created in Little Russia and New Russia, mainly from former rebels and partisans, had poor combat effectiveness and discipline. At the first signs of a real threat, such Red Army soldiers quickly “repainted” as Petliurites, White Guards, “Green”, etc.

At the same time, the Polish threat intensified. In the spring and early summer of 1919, the army of General Haller, formed in France, arrived in Poland. Pilsudski immediately pursued a policy of ardent nationalism. The Poles, taking advantage of the collapse of the neighboring great powers - Russia and Germany, began to create "Great Poland from sea to sea. Polish troops captured Poznan and Silesia. In June, the Poles entered Grodno and Vilna, despite the protests of Lithuania, which considered these cities to be its own. However, the Lithuanian nationalists did not have large battalions to defend their claims, but the Poles did. The Polish troops moved to Little Russia, captured Novograd-Volynsky. Taking advantage of the fact that the forces of the Western Ukrainian people's republic went to the aid of Petliura and fought with the Red Army, Polish divisions invaded Galicia and captured it. The Western Ukrainian People’s Republic disappeared, its territory became part of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Romania. The government of Petrunkevich fled. The Galician army for the most part crossed into the territory of the Ukrainian People’s Republic (a small part of the “Sich Riflemen” fled to Czechoslovakia).

So the Poles began the process of creating Poland "from sea to sea." Their appetites grew with the development of successful expansion. Having expanded their power at the expense of Germany, Lithuania and Galician Rus, the Poles moved to White Russia. 8 August 1919 g. Polish troops captured Minsk. Their offensive also captured the northwestern part of Little Russia - Sarny, Rivne, Novograd-Volynsky.

Meanwhile, the UPR army, including the Galician army (about 35 thousand in all), launched an attack on Kiev and Odessa. The Petliurites tried to use the favorable moment - the successful offensive of Denikin’s army in Little Russia and the movement of the Polish army to the east, which caused the collapse of the defense of the Red Army in the west. Petlyura’s troops occupied Zhmerynka, intercepting the railway link between Kiev and Odessa. However, at the same time, a new and rapid degradation of the fighting efficiency of the Petlyura troops took place. The core of the Galician ideological “Sich Riflemen,” who made the main contribution to the development of the offensive, quickly grew into detachments of rebel chieftains and batiks, who again quickly “repainted”. To receive ranks, ranks, awards from Petliura, weapon, equipment and material content. These detachments retained their commanders and a partisan organization, poorly managed and poorly operational (the same problem became one of the main reasons for the defeat of the Red Army in Little Russia and New Russia). On the one hand, this led to a drop in the combat effectiveness of the Petlyura army. On the other hand, a surge of violence, robberies and Jewish pogroms. It is clear that the robbers, rapists and looters did not meet the mass support of the population, and could not resist the ideological White Guards.

On August 30, the Petliurites, together with the Whites, occupied Kiev. But the very next day they were expelled from there by Denikins. The White Command refused to negotiate with Petlyura and by October 1919, the Petlyuraites were defeated. At this time, there was a gap between the military-political leadership of the UPR and the ZUNR. The command of the Galician army was against military operations with the All-Union Federal League of Justice, since the Entente stood behind Denikin. The Galicians believed that they had one main enemy - the Poles. Therefore, the ZUNR leadership, headed by Petrushevich and the command of the Galician army, took a wait and see attitude. Galicians were even accused of surrendering Kiev to the whites. As a result, the Galicians proposed Petlyura to begin negotiations with Denikin on an alliance, since it is impossible to fight on two fronts. However, Petlyura continued to pressure the Galician army, demanding active military operations against Denikin's troops. In addition, Petlyura leaned toward an alliance with Poland against Soviet Russia, it is clear that at the expense of the interests of ZUNR.

As a result, the Galicians began negotiations with the whites. The command of the Galician army at the beginning of November 1919 signed an agreement with the leadership of the All-Union Federal League of Justice. From the Galician army, the agreement was signed by its commander, General Miron Tarnavsky, from the White Army - by the commander of the 4 Infantry Division, Major General Yakov Slashchev and commander of the forces of the Novorossiysk Region, Lieutenant General Nikolai Shilling. The Galician army in its entirety went over to the side of the All-Union Federal League of Forces. She was taken to the rear of the Volunteer Army for replenishment and rest.

Makhno's actions


At the same time, Ataman Nestor Makhno, breaking off relations with the Reds and defeated by Denikinites, retreating along the Right Bank of the Dnieper, in August turned out to be pressed against the Petliura front. Under his command there were about 20 thousand soldiers of the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine (RPAU), and a large convoy with wounded. Makhno did not feel the slightest sympathy for Ukrainian nationalists and Petliura. But the situation was hopeless: on one side the Makhnovists were drawn in by the white, and on the other, the Petliurists. Therefore, Makhno entered into negotiations. At the same time, the Makhnovists hoped that they would be able to seize control and liquidate Petlyura. On 20 of September 1919 of the year, at the Zhmerinka station, a military alliance was concluded between the Makhnovists and Petliurists. The union was directed against Denikinites. Sick, wounded and refugees of the “army” Makhno got the opportunity to be treated and placed on the territory of the UNR. RPAU received a foothold and base, supply. The Makhnovists occupied a front section in the Uman region.

True, on 26 of September, the Makhnovists began to break back into the Yekaterinoslav region and in early October of 1919 created a powerful threat in the rear of Denikin’s army.

    Here is one of the characteristic documents of that time:
    Denikin's appeal to the population of Little Russia:
    One after another, the valor and blood of armies liberated the Russian regions from the yoke of madmen and traitors, who gave slavery to the deceived people instead of happiness and freedom.

    The regiments are approaching ancient Kiev, the “mother of Russian cities,” in an irresistible desire to restore the unity they lost to the Russian people. The unity without which the great Russian people, exhausted and fragmented, losing young generations in fratricidal internecine strife, could not defend their independence. That unity, without which a complete and correct economic life is unthinkable, when the north and south, east and west of a vast power in free exchange bring each other everything that each region is rich in, each region. That unity, without which powerful Russian speech would not have been created, equally woven by the centuries-old efforts of Kiev, Moscow and Petrograd.

    Wanting to weaken the Russian state before declaring war on it, the Germans long before 1914 sought to destroy the unity of the Russian tribe forged in the difficult struggle.

    To this end, they supported and fanned in the south of Russia a movement that set itself the goal of separating its nine provinces from Russia, under the name of "Ukrainian State." The desire to tear away from Russia the Little Russian branch of the Russian people has not been abandoned to this day. The former henchmen of the Germans - Petlyura and his comrades-in-arms, who laid the foundation for the dismemberment of Russia, continue to do their evil work of creating an independent "Ukrainian Power" and fighting against the revival of United Russia.

    However, from the traitorous movement directed towards the division of Russia, it is necessary to completely distinguish the activity inspired by the love of the native land, its features, its local antiquity and its local folk language.

    In view of this, the foundation of the organization of the regions of the South of Russia will be the beginning of self-government and decentralization, with an indispensable respect for the life features of local life.

    Declaring the language of the state language throughout Russia to be Russian, I consider it completely unacceptable and prohibit the prosecution of the Little Russian folk language. Everyone can speak in Russian at local institutions, zemstvo, state offices and the court. Private schools supported by private funds can teach in any language. In government schools, if there are those who wish, lessons of the Little Russian folk language in its classical models can be instituted. In the first years of study in elementary school, the use of the Little Russian language may be allowed to make it easier for students to master the first rudiments of knowledge.

    Likewise, there will be no restrictions on the Little Russian language in the press.

    Providing God with divine regions of the South of Russia foresees a high honor and great responsibility to become a support and a source for armies selflessly going to the feat of restoring United Russia.

    In the struggle for United and Indivisible Russia, I urge all the faithful sons of the Motherland to actively support the army, which brings to the suffering people the deliverance from the Bolshevik yoke.

    Let all those who cherish the happiness and greatness of the Motherland and the success of our armies in their uncontrollable rush to the heart of Russia - Moscow, tirelessly work on creating and strengthening in the near and far rear a strong support for the soldiers fighting at the front for the greatness and unity of Russia.

        Who about what, and lousy about the bath. Mr. Bulkohrust your adored Denikin is the same traitor as other white-sellers. Only he, unlike Krasnov, Shkuro and the like, did not favor Germany, but he sold it with great pleasure to the British, French and Americans. Actually this is the whole difference.
        In the summer of 1946, 73-year-old General Anton Ivanovich Denikin, who by then lived in the USA, sent a letter to US President Harry Truman. In it, Anton Ivanovich Denikin returned to the old and battered question, which he had forgotten somewhat during the war — to the confrontation of Bolshevism. "Patriot" Anton Ivanovich outlined in a letter his recommendations to the West to contain the Soviet Union and its political expansion in Europe and the world as a whole. That is, the general refused to cooperate with the Nazis, but as soon as Germany was defeated, he immediately became a volunteer consultant to the United States on confronting the Soviet Union.

                It’s you yourself go and smash your forehead against the corner. Before the Great October Socialist Revolution, half of Russia's industry was owned by foreign companies
                Thus, the share of foreign capital in the fixed capital of industrial joint-stock companies of Russia amounted to about 1 million rubles. Considering that the entire fixed capital of the joint-stock industry of Russia amounted to approximately 750 million rubles as of January 1, 1917, more than 3% falls on the share of foreign capital. At the same time, French capital accounts for 185%, English - 50%, German - 32,6%, Belgian - 22,6%, American - 19,7% and other countries - 14,3%. .. "

                I didn’t give, but I was forced to give in order to get out of the meat grinder where your bloody king reckoned her. And not forever, in 1945 everything was returned, and even with a profit.

        It was thanks to Denikin that the ships of the then NATO, the Entente, were stationed in Odessa, Sevastopol, and Novorossiysk. Moreover, they did not just stand, but helped the interventionists to plunder and torment the civilian population. Here is also an example of Denikin's "valor" and the entire white-haired movement!

    all the top red leaders fled from the city — the military commissar of the district, the chairman of the Defense Council of the Odessa military district Boris Kraevsky, Chairman of the Odessa Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine Jan Gamarnik and commander of the 45th division Jonah Yakir.
    And the guys had to run the other way, and so Izrailevich Kraysvky, and Tsudikovich Gamarnik and Yakovlevich Yakir were shot by their comrades in the struggle and were dug in who knows where. And the names of the "gkroev" were trampled on as traitors, fascists and traitors.
    At the same time in Odessa began uprising of clandestine officer organizations.

    Russian Odessa fought for the right to remain RUSSIAN, and not to become "Ukraine", where the Bolsheviks forcibly shoved it.
    It is worth noting that in many respects the relatively easy victories of Denikin’s in New Russia and Little Russia were related to the internal problems of the Bolsheviks in the Ukrainian SSR and the activation of other enemies of Soviet Russia. So, in Ukraine-Little Russia, in parallel with the war of white and red, there was a peasant and rebel war

    It is worth noting that this is nonsense: THE SAME problems were white.
    Moreover, all these daddies: the beast Grigoryev, Makhno-spoke for the Krans. The Reds, in gratitude, however, cut them later.
    At the same time, the Polish threat intensified.
    This "threat" TWICE saved the Reds from death: united in their wild hatred of Russia, they signed a truce twice (in the fall of 1919, 1920), which made it possible to transfer huge resources from the Western Front to stop the liberation of Moscow by the Russian Army from usurpers. Remarkable are the "Russian" units transferred from there: they are the LATY red division, the ESTONIAN red division, CHINESE, and the Ukrainians of chervonny.

    It is noteworthy that to half the army The FSSJ was composed of residents of New Russia and Little Russia, fighting to keep them part of United and Indivisible Russia, against the current situation that the Bolsheviks created in 1917-1922

      Yeah, my great-grandfather the Don Cossack was forcibly mobilized, though not to Denikin, but to the Don army, but this does not change the meaning. Literally in the very first battle with the first cavalry army, ALL officers left them to the mercy of fate. At the start of the battle, they knocked everything down and left the privates to be torn apart. Is it a "noble" act? As a result, some of them did not even offer any resistance. Once captured, my great-grandfather voluntarily went over to Budyonny and served with him until the end of the civil war. And people like my great-grandfather were a fig and a dime.

          Don Army - the name of the armed forces of the Great Don Army, subsequently also part of the Armed Forces of the South of Russia (ALL). It consisted of a regular army (based on the stanitsa militia) and a permanent or, so-called Young Army, technical, armored, armored and aviation units.

Fronts transformed in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd armies, and groups, districts, and detachments — in corps (separate) and divisions of 3-4 regiments. Then (May 12, 1919) the armies were transformed into separate corps, the corps was reduced to divisions, divisions into brigades of 3 regiments. After the reorganization, the army consisted of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Don separate corps, to which the 28th was added on June 4th. In August 1919, a new reorganization ensued: the four-regiment divisions turned into three-regiment brigades, which were reduced to nine-regiment divisions (3 brigades each). In the fall of 1919 the army was also temporarily attached to the 3rd Kuban Corps (Vicki source).

                On March 24, 1920, from the army units exported to the Crimea, the Separate Don Corps was formed, and on May 1, all Don units were consolidated into the Don Corps.

    The article is traditionally rather weak. The main thread of the story is to show which white ones are bad and the red ones are good. But not the point.
    We look essentially.
    On August 18 on 1919, the Red Front in Novorossia collapsed; units of the 12-th Soviet Army were surrounded in this area. 23 — On 24 of August Denikin’s troops took Odessa, and on 31 of August they took Kiev. In many ways, the relatively easy victories of Denikin’s in New Russia and Little Russia were related to the internal problems of the Bolsheviks in the Ukrainian SSR and the activation of other enemies of Soviet Russia.

    The troops of the 12th Army exceeded the volunteer contingent in Ukraine.
    And the fact that the Reds could not regulate their relations with the Petliurists as well was their problem.
    The 45th SD turned out to be semi-circled.
    There were no relatively easy victories, the battles were quite heavy and stubborn. Especially in the Kiev direction. White also had to fight with the Reds, the Petliurists, and the Makhnovists.

It doesn't matter to them that the "Reds" fought for the creation of a state independent of the West, and Denikin, buried in the United States in 1947 with the honors given to "the commander-in-chief of an allied US army" - asked the West only one thing: "Colonize the Russians, but do not kill everyone." ...

    The reader does not care what kind of legislation the "Reds" have established in the USSR. How does it differ from the laws of Ingushetia or the Russian Federation. They can think exclusively in gangster categories - "red", "white," "Tambov", "Solntsevsk", "St. Petersburg" ........

    Our adult reader has the mind of a child. One thing is important to him - WHAT UNCLE IS BAD AND WHAT IS GOOD.
