How did the Ice Siberian campaign end

Hood. movie "Admiral"

Smoot. 1920 year. 100 years ago, in February 1920, the Great Siberian campaign ended. In Transbaikalia, the remnants of the 2nd and 3rd armies of Kolchak made their way. They allied with the forces of ataman Semenov, and a white Far Eastern army was formed in Chita.

Baikal


On February 5-6, 1920, Kolchakites (the remnants of the 2nd and 3rd armies under the command of Wojciechowski and Sakharov) fought stubborn battles on the outskirts of Irkutsk. On February 7 they broke through to the city itself, took the Innokentyevskaya station near Irkutsk (rich military warehouses were seized here) and were ready to advance further. However, after the news of the death of Kolchak and the ultimatum of the Czechoslovakians (the Czechs categorically demanded not to occupy the Glasgow suburb that dominated the city), the commander of the white forces, General Wojciechowski, gave the order to go around the city from the south and break through to Lake Baikal. At the forefront was the Izhevsk division. A rearguard was left in Innokentyevskaya to demonstrate the threat of continuing the assault on Irkutsk.



On February 9, 1920, the advanced forces of the Kappelites reached Baikal near the village of Listvenichny, where the Angara flows out of the lake. The White Guards stopped in a large and rich village for a day's rest. At the same time, the white rear guard was leaving Irkutsk with battles. Despite the access to Transbaikalia, the situation was alarming for the Whites. There were no exact data. Only rumors, according to which the Mysovaya station on the other side of Lake Baikal was under the control of Japanese troops. But the Reds attacked there too. Where ataman Semyonov and his troops was unknown. It was impossible to stay. The enemy could soon press the Whites to the lake and finish them off.

The situation was also unclear with the road. Previously, they traveled from Listvenichny or Goloustnoye, 40-45 miles on ice, but now they have stopped. It’s dangerous, and the previous economic ties were cut off. White had to go first, grope and pave the way. By evening, the troops of the 2nd Army began to stay in Listvennichnoe, parts of the 3rd Army of Sakharov moved further to Goloustoy. This is about 10 miles on the ice of Lake Baikal.

Baikal is a whole "sea". In winter, its surface fetters ice. But it happens that the lake is worried, the ice breaks, gives deep cracks that sometimes stretch for kilometers. Therefore, the campaign through Lake Baikal was a new ordeal for the White Guards. At night we got to Goloustnoye, a small coastal village. February 11 Kolchak moved across the lake. It was a long string of foot, horse and sleigh. The transition was difficult. Only in places there was snow, the icy desert prevailed. It was very difficult for horses with ordinary horseshoes. They glided and stumbled on ice. This exhausted them greatly, quickly deprived of strength. Weak animals fell. By the end of the day, the entire path was littered with the corpses of horses. Riding all the time in a sleigh was hard, frost and a piercing wind turned a person into an ice. I had to get off the sled, go and run to warm up. We moved slowly, with stops. Ahead were conductors, Baikal fishermen who determined the strength of ice, carefully paved the way, avoided cracks.

White General K. Sakharov recalled:

“It is difficult to give a real picture of those days - it is too unusual ... But imagine, for a minute, in the midst of your usual life in a warm environment, imagine - thousands of miles of Siberian age-old space; the deaf taiga where a man’s foot didn’t go, wild mountains with hard-to-reach slopes, huge rivers bound by ice, two arshins deep snow, frost cracking ... And imagine thousands of Russian people walking day after day through these deep boundless snows; whole months, day after day, in an atmosphere of terrible cruelty and deprivation. And there is at every step the danger of fratricidal war. ... And complete suspense. Where is the end? What will happen next? Baikal with its icy road is the apotheosis of the entire Ice Camp. The White Army marched across the lake-sea, not knowing that it was waiting for her on the other side, waiting for the enemy there ... "


To Chita


On the evening of February 11, the vanguard of the White Army left for Mysova station. On average, the White Guard units crossed the lake in 12 hours. In Mysovaya was a Japanese detachment. Kolchakites learned that the ataman Semenov with his 6th East Siberian Corps is holding fast in Transbaikalia. “By the decree of Kolchak of January 4, 1920, Semenov was transferred (before receiving instructions from Denikin appointed by the Supreme Ruler of Russia)“ the entire completeness of military and civil power throughout the territory of the Russian Eastern Outskirts, united by the Russian supreme authority ”. On January 16, Semyonov announced in Chita the establishment of the government of the Russian Eastern Outskirts, led by cadet S. A. Taskin. But after the uprising in Vladivostok, under the rule of the chieftain, behind whom the Japanese stood, only Transbaikalia remained. Transbaikalia for the period from January to November 1920 was the last stronghold of whites in Siberia.

For several days, all the White Guards crossed Baikal. In total, the lake passed to 30-35 thousand people. The White Guards received supplies - several wagons with food and warm clothes. Some of the sick, wounded, as well as women and children, were taken by rail to Chita. The troops of the 3rd and 2nd army moved to the Verkhneudinsk region (since 1934 - Ulan-Ude). Along the way, the White Guards clashed with the Red Partisans. They immediately captured the village of Kabanie, the former center of the Red Partisans, and opened the way to Verkhneudinsk. Here stood a Japanese team led by Major General Agatha.

In general, the Japanese troops were a real imperial army, with high discipline, order and combat readiness. The Japanese division located in this area had 12-14 thousand bayonets and could easily stop the advance of the Red Army. However, the Japanese, like the Bolsheviks, did not want a direct clash and behaved very carefully with each other. The Japanese did not succumb to the persuasion of the Directory, the Omsk government of Kolchak, and the chieftain Semyonov. On the one hand, Japan needed a buffer in Siberia in the person of Kolchak and Semenov to cover its possessions in Manchuria and Korea. It took time to gain a foothold in the Far East. Therefore, the Japanese were the best in relation to the Kolchakites, or, as they were now called, the Kappelites. On the other hand, the Japanese were crushed by competitors - the British, Americans and French. They demanded that Japan withdraw troops from Siberia and not help the White Guards. The masters of the West did not want the clever Japanese to seize the eastern part of Russia, since this did not work out for themselves under the guise of Czech bayonets.

Parts of the 3rd and 2nd armies were reduced to corps. The corps was reduced to divisions, divisions into regiments, excessive headquarters and institutions were liquidated. After a week of rest, the Kappelites advanced to Chita in marching order. A part of the wounded and sick, and the Ufa division (the former Ufa corps) were taken out by rail. The remaining units were promised trains from the Petrovsky Plant, 140-150 versts from Verkhneudinsk. The troops moved on a sleigh. The trip was difficult, as there was little snow, most of the terrain was exposed or covered with a thin layer of snow. The area was very rugged, with ravines and hills, dense forest. The troops moved in three groups to facilitate the search for an overnight stay. Settlements, as well as roads were few. At the forefront were Izhevsk and Jaegers, then the Ural Division, dragoons and the Volga cavalry brigade, in the third group - Cossacks, Orenburg and Yenisei. On the way, the vanguard again had to fight the Red Rebels. In Transbaikalia, against the seedlings, patriarchal Old Believers guerrilla. Huntsmen and Izhevsk overturned the enemy.

From Petrovsky Zavod, a large industrial village, they moved in echelons. For the first time in a month and a half after the Krasnoyarsk White Guards got the opportunity to take advantage of the Russian railway, which was occupied by foreigners. There were not enough squadrons only for cavalry: the 1st Cavalry Division and the Cossacks marched along the valley of the Khilok River. The path was difficult - in five days of the march from Petrovsky Zavod to Chita, up to a third of the horsemen fell. The railway was guarded by the Japanese, so the path was relatively calm. In late February - early March 1920, the remnants of Kolchak's army entered Chita.

Based on the remnants of the 2nd and 3rd armies, which were reorganized into corps, and the troops of Semyonov, the Far Eastern Army was created. It included three corps: the 1st Trans-Baikal Corps (Semenovtsy), the 2nd Siberian Corps of General Verzhbitsky and the 3rd Volga Corps of General Molchanov. The supreme commander and head of government was Ataman Semenov. The army was led by General Wojciechowski (from the end of April 1920 - Lokhvitsky). The troops were located in the Chita region, rested, replenished ranks, hoping to launch an offensive in a month with the goal of putting under their control the entire territory from Lake Baikal to the Pacific Ocean.

      There, in general, no one wanted to share with anyone, everyone pulled on themselves. The Japanese simply did not have enough strength alone to resist the British with the Americans. And all of the allies in the Entente were afraid of strengthening the other due to the robbery of Russia, and therefore they watched each other so that the other would not get any more. In general, they are jackals in Siberia jackals.
      Therefore, the Japanese were the best in relation to the Kolchakites, or, as they were now called, the Kappelites. On the other hand, the Japanese were crushed by competitors - the British, Americans and French. They demanded that Japan withdraw troops from Siberia and not help the White Guards.

        It’s not good, of course, almost all the same, but I don’t want to sympathize with the Kolchaks. The memory of the atrocities of these warriors is still alive. After all, these ..... Kolchakites fought just like the Germans twenty years later. Robbed, raped, killed.
        However, Kolchak’s atrocities were not original, RUSSIAN people were killed by both nationalists and interventionists.
        It is today those who moan about the fact that * this is the same RUSSIAN people .... *. But these figures did not want to remember that they were RUSSIAN atrocities ... and then who went to serve the Germans and the Germans to the Germans.

          That's it, that ALMOST! I do not understand how these animals can be justified? Kolchak’s atrocities against the civilian population, and far from all of them took the Soviet power, can not be justified. In fact, it was the bestial attitude of whites and their accomplices of white whales, shavers, amersos, yapes and others towards the civilian population that led to the fact that most of the population switched to the side of the reds.
          Yes, and the Reds themselves were not "white and fluffy" and there were lovers of robbery in their ranks, but in the end the Reds in their ranks eradicated this infection. By the end of the civil war, there were no longer those scattered detachments in the RKKA councils, and even just outright gangs, it was already an combat-ready army welded together by discipline, which ultimately drove all this white-bellied scum from our land.

            An eyewitness account: “When the Reds arrived, it was clear that this was the army, of course, someone was in patches, and were tattered, but all in military uniform. The order is well organized - each soldier knew his job, discipline was. And white is some kind of rabble, a crowd. Some are dressed in what: some are in uniform, some are almost in rags, and some are almost in sable fur coats. No organization, discipline — they probably didn’t know such a word. And any, even a small, detachment is coming - full carts of the loot drag. Not an army - a gang. "

              So the whites were essentially one big gang. What did they defend, what did they fight for, what sacred goals did they set for themselves? And everything is simple, they defended their old-regime privileges. They fought for the right to continue to be exploiters, to be parasites on the body of the people. What kind of slogans did they have "for the faith, the king and the fatherland," "for one and indivisible"? Well, let's leave faith aside, it deserves a separate topic; the tsar - they themselves overthrew, the Bolsheviks have nothing to do with it; fatherland - that's not how they fight for the fatherland, selling it with giblets to foreign invaders; for one - so unite, and do not pull each one for yourself; indivisible - so you have already divided it, when Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic states, and the Caucasus broke away from you, not without your own efforts.
              In general, White lost precisely because they were, firstly, a gang of robbers and murderers. And secondly, they had nothing to offer the people except the old fetters. And no matter how the bakers were raging, the truth is that it will remain true, and the falsehood will be false.

                An eyewitness is my relative, a peasant woman. There were a lot of whites in their village in the modern Barabinsky district of the Novosibirsk region, and their memory remained bright and well-defined.
                And the rags and full carts fit well - the southern Cossacks had about the same: "A Cossack is returning from a campaign loaded so that neither he nor his horse can be seen. And the next day he goes on a campaign again in one torn Circassian coat."
                Moreover, the looted good does not have to belong to all whites.

      In 1919, an uprising against the Japanese began in Korea. I will assume that the Japanese military remembered that in the 16th century, Koreans, with the help of the Chinese, were able to regain independence. Therefore, until the complete pacification of Korea, the Japanese refrained from a new war with Russia, even having Semenov's puppet troops in the allies. The Korean people honor the descendant of the Red partisans as the national heroes of Korea.
      For example, similar articles appear in all Korean resources at the beginning of March. Further quote.

      "On March 5, 2020, an extraordinary meeting of the Council was held, at which the President of the RPO" Descendants of the leaders of the fighters for the independence of Korea 1910-1945.

      Lee Bomjin (1852 - 1911) - a diplomat, the first envoy of Korea to Russia, was one of the leaders of the partisan movement in Primorye, at his own expense acquired weapons for the Yiben partisan detachments.

      but there are too many empathies of the author in relation to white.
      I agree that the author is often thrown from side to side. However, many here on VO have already written that the author of "Samsonov" is, in all likelihood, a kind of collective.
      Firstly, it is painfully prolific, in terms of the number of articles.
      And secondly, it painfully shakes him from article to article, from extreme leftist views, to sympathy for white and from alternativeism (Fomenkovism) to quite adequate and balanced articles.

          Well, why, commentators here are quite clearly divided into conditionally "white", "red", well, and a little "neutral". At least in the "HISTORY" section and mainly in the topics about the civil war.

            I personally am not interested in evaluating historical events not from the side of modern white adherents, not from the side of modern red adherents. I’m only interested in a true, unbiased, chronological presentation of the story, preferably with maps, diagrams and illustrations, as well as memoirs of participants and eyewitnesses of those events from different sides. This is the only way to fully appreciate that era. A true historian should always be above the battle. And this article by Alexander Samsonov fully corresponds to this. Thank you, Sasha!

            And the fact that what is happening here right now is not a civil war, but a divan-guerrilla war of anonymous under-educations .. We don’t know historical facts. and we don’t want to know, Samsonov’s article on whites means Samsonov’s for whites fellow , Alexander's article about red means Samsonov - "red" winked We don’t want to argue, and we don’t know how to .. One cliche, pluses to its libels, and minus one with them.

              Unwillingness to argue, that is, to find arguments in support of one’s innocence, is a sign that historical truth is contrary to the worldview of one who claims to be unwilling to argue.

            Yes, civil war is a great tragedy of our people, but who is to blame for it? Why now, as in the late 80s and early 90s, they are raising to the shield those who were to blame for this tragedy? Why are they trying to cover up the truth that it was Nicholas II who, with his mediocre politics and connivance, brought the country to a pen? Why do they blame the Bolsheviks for all the troubles, and not the true culprits, the tsar and his entourage, and then the interim government, which finished off what the king did not finish?
            No one is trying to prove that the Bolsheviks were completely nyashki, and the white were completely byak. But let's proceed from the results. What would happen if White prevailed? The final collapse of the country and its looting by the Entente and the Germans. What did the Bolsheviks do? They stopped the collapse, created an army and drove all the lovers away at the expense of others out of the country. What, isn't it?

                Agree! For example, I was always struck by the fact that not only fledgling youths without a king in their heads participate in neo-Nazi torchlight marches in Ukraine, but also quite adult uncles who are well over 40 and who seem to have studied in Soviet schools and received quite a high-quality education . This is how Soviet education and love for fascist litter such as Bandera and Shukhevych fit into their heads? To what extent should such individuals degrade?

                  “For example, I was always struck by the fact that not only fledgling youths without a king in their heads participate in neo-Nazi torchlight processions in Ukraine, but also quite adult guys who are well over 40 and who seem to have studied in Soviet schools and received quite high-quality education."

                  Colleague Dian Ilyin does not surprise me.
                  The bacilli of nationalism in Ukraine stopped fighting long before Gorbachev and his team. In the mid-70s, we studied in the middle classes, which was already noticeably with the naked eye. So the participation of the 50s in the processions of the Nazis does not surprise me, they prepared for this from the cradle. In the mid-90s, at a meeting with friends in the coastal town of Kherson region, he said “we have a lot in common and we will not shoot at each other, our children too, but grandchildren, if this coven continues, will kill each other” Mistaken, our generation children began to kill each other.

                    I suppose that ordinary Ukrainians are closer to ordinary Russians, and Russians who dream of robbing their compatriots are the Ukrainian owners of factories, newspapers and ships. Today they argued with a successful businessman who proved to me that Putin was a thief, a CIA agent and a destroyer of the Russian people. Moreover, as a well-known fact, he told me that 140 people annually disappear in Moscow, while his friend in the crematorium burned these disappeared.

                In the early 90s no one The Sparkle I haven’t read it - I repeat, 1990 is a year of terrible shortage, Soviet citizens were very concerned about the search for matches, sugar, underpants, salt, cigarettes, socks, vodka, etc., interest in Bukharin and Kaganovich disappeared sharply, the crowd rushed to flea markets.

                Lying in my dacha "Lights" of those times. Not everyone went to the kindling. I open it sometimes. Then, in my youth, I read everything. Against the backdrop of state indoctrination, it was then a breath of fresh air. But now!!!! After all, it is now clear that this is just a stream of manipulations. Then everything was all over again. So people took a bite. I don’t understand one thing. How did people after reading this rubbish remain with such views for their whole lives? In reality, those who do not become a conservative in old age have no brains.
                Now reading that "Spark" is sick through the page. We have seen and experienced so much since then. It’s like a thimbler stripping a sucker naked, and after many years, he rejoices as everything was and misses those times.

          If you show specific examples, for example, in the case of Tatyana Zolotova or in the case of Catherine’s railway workers — where freedom of speech, conscience, the media, the right to privacy, and the right to judicial protection were respected — this will be more obvious.

          Lying again! The collective farm is voluntary, but in the Republic of Ingushetia, despite the official abolition of serf slavery (by the way, in 1861 !!!), the peasants remained in bondage either at the same barracks or at the kulaks, and this is much worse than a collective farm or state farm.
