Summary/Abstract |
The officer corps of the Manchukuo Army was formed on a multinational basis in accordance with the fundamental state principle of the “common home” for the five Nations of Manchukuo. The formation of the Russian officer corps in the Manchukuo Army started with the organization of the Asano detachment in 1938. The Japanese commanders relied on émigré youth, not the Russian Imperial Army’s officers. The nucleus of the Russian officer corps was émigré activists of anti-Bolshevik organizations who considered the Asano detachment the basis of a “White Army.” However, the leadership of émigré units was in the hands of the Japanese secret services, and the training of Russian regulars was based on the ideas of Bushido. Despite all efforts of the Japanese commanders, Russian officers did not meet their expectations in the fight against the Soviet Army in August 1945.

Summary/Abstract |
The problem of delimiting the Russian officer corps and its choice during the Civil War in Russia (1917–1922) is related to a number of the central and most complex questions of the history of that era, which historians have been yet trying to answer for a century. This issue has not only scholarly but also great social importance. Established opinions on the correlation of the officer corps with respect to the armies and camps of the Civil War have not been developed in historiography. Moreover, depending on ideological predilections of the different authors, one encounters statements about either the general anti-Bolshevism of the officer class or, on the contrary, its general loyalty to the Bolsheviks. Obviously, both these theses are far from reality. Moreover, there are individual publications in the latest historiography that cite a multi-faceted analysis of the split of various groups of the officer corps.
