Chaos in the field: Soviet Karelia's food supply detachments, 1918-1920 / Wright, Alistair S   Journal Article
Wright, Alistair S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article traces the creation, experiences and success of Karelia's food supply detachments during the Russian Civil War and focuses on three target provinces: Kursk, Simbirsk and Saratov. It emphasises the early political and economic stumbling blocks faced by the Bolsheviks in their attempts to implement the party's food supply policies in the periphery and indicates that, although the Soviet food supply system by mid-1919 was more centralised and resistance from local soviets lessened, improvements were only relative to the more chaotic conditions of the previous year.

First phase’ of the Russian civil war: Soviet Karelia, October 1917–May 1918 / Wright, Alistair S   Journal Article
Wright, Alistair S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This essay traces the development of the Bolshevik revolution in the town of Petrozavodsk, from October 1917 to May 1918. Primarily, an analysis of the evidence reveals how weak the Bolsheviks’ influence was in the north. The result of this was a conflict of interests between the centre and Petrozavodsk over the policies introduced by the central Bolshevik government, Sovnarkom. However, this period of the Civil War was also one of survival, defined by a determined and united local soviet resistance to the economic and military crises faced by the regime.

From civil war to proxy war: past history and current dilemmas / Marshall, Alex   Article
Marshall, Alex Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The use of surrogate or ‘proxy’ actors within the context of ‘irregular’ or guerrilla conflict within or between states constitutes a phenomenon spanning nearly the whole of recorded human military history. Yet it is a phenomenon that has also acquired urgent contemporary relevance in the light of the general evolution of conflict in Ukraine and the current Middle East. This introduction to a special issue on the theme investigates some potentially important new avenues to studying the phenomenon in the light of these trends.

Marshal of the Soviet Union Leonid Govorov During the First World War and the Russian Civil War / Ganin, Andrei Vladislavovich   Journal Article
Ganin, Andrei Vladislavovich Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article introduces previously unknown archival documents about the participation in the White movement in the East of Russia of the future Marshal of the Soviet Union, L. A. Govorov. Discovered documents from the Russian State Military Archives established that Govorov, after his transition to the side of the Red Army in December 1919, was hiding his role in the rank of Lieutenant by the order of Admiral Kolchak in July 1919. Apart from that, Govorov hid the fact of his voluntary enlistment into the service of the Whites in the fall of 1918 and other details of his path of fighting in the anti-Bolshevik camp.

Remnants of empires: Russian refugees and citizenship regime in Turkey, 1923–1938 / Ãœre, Pınar   Journal Article
Üre, Pınar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In the early 1920s, Turkey hosted thousands Russian refugees, commonly known as White Russians, who fled from the Bolshevik regime and the Russian Civil War (1918–1922). Although most of these refugees continued their journeys towards Western Europe or North America, some of them opted to stay in Turkey and tried to integrate to the new republican regime that was established in 1923. This article examines the conditions in which refugees were given or denied Turkish citizenship to understand how inclusive the citizenship regime was in the interwar period. The temporal framework of the article spans from 1923 to the outbreak of the Second World War. This research suggests that most Russian refugees who became Turkish citizens throughout the 1920s and 1930s converted to Islam. This tendency proves the importance of religion in defining citizenship, despite the proclaimed secularity of the new regime.

Russian civil war in Chinese Turkestan (Xinjiang), 1918-1921: a little known and explored front / Share, Michael   Journal Article
Share, Michael Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract A very important yet little known front in the Russian Civil War existed in neighbouring Xinjiang, a region in China's northwest, that was at that time self-governing. In Xinjiang, Russian White Commanders and their troops gained sanctuary, financial assistance, food and shelter from Chinese provincial leaders, and then used those sanctuaries to launch operations against Soviet forces. However, by 1921, Red Army troops destroyed any remaining organised White forces, which then melted into the Chinese landscape. The ramifications of the Russian Civil War in Xinjiang had important impacts on the people of Xinjiang, and on Russia and China as well.

Vanguard of ‘socialist colonization’? the Krasnyi Vostok expedition of 1920 / Argenbright, Robert   Journal Article
Argenbright, Robert Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract During the Russian Civil War, special vehicles visited the vast country's diverse regions as emissaries of central authority. The so-called 'agitational' vehicles carried out the functions of propaganda and agitation, 'instruction' (governance) and surveillance in the pursuit of two overarching, and sometimes contradictory, goals: state building and the radical transformation of society. The Krasnyi Vostok (Red East) expedition to Turkestan in 1920 was exceptional in the degree to which the train interfered in local governance regimes. It sought to win over a Muslim majority that had been terrorized by Soviets formed by Russian colonizers, which had not represented the masses but rather perpetuated racist domination. Ironically, having surveyed the vast gulf between the Bolsheviks' revolutionary gaze and the complex and diverse world in which they found themselves, the Krasnyi Vostok activists concluded that 'socialist colonization' was the essential task in Turkestan.
