Civil War in Northern Russia and the Failure of Foreign Military Intervention. January–October 1919
49.99 €
This monograph examines the dramatic and tragic events of the Civil War and foreign intervention in Northern Russia during its most complex and fateful period. The author does not limit himself to the regional dimension, but places the events within the broader national and international context of the era. The issues of military confrontation, as well as the political and socioeconomic processes unfolding in the anti-Bolshevik and Soviet camps, are explored in detail.
Particular attention is given to the foreign intervention of the Entente countries, carried out in Northern Russia under British leadership, in its diverse components: military, political, diplomatic, financial, and economic. Evidence is presented that, on the one hand, it was the interventionists who ensured the very existence of the anti-Bolshevik Northern Region militarily, financially, and economically, supplying it with everything it needed. On the other hand, they established an occupation regime and mercilessly exploited the region's natural resources. The book describes the activities aimed at creating a "Greater Finland," reveals the results of the "Olonets Campaign" and the actions of the Olonets Volunteer Army, attempts to form a military-political alliance between the Entente, Finland, and Russian anti-Bolshevik forces, and the reasons for their failure.
The author demonstrates that the failure of the Entente countries' military-political plans predetermined the inglorious end of the intervention and the forced evacuation of foreign troops. He thoroughly analyzes the discussions within the anti-Bolshevik camp regarding the advisability of continuing the fight against Soviet Russia in the North after the interventionists' withdrawal, and reveals the reasons and factors that ultimately led to the decision to maintain the Northern Front of the Russian Civil War.
This publication is intended for anyone interested in Russian history, international relations, and the historical past of the Russian North.
