Summary/Abstract |
This essay uses the numerous statistics produced by revolutionary tribunals to explore the nature of counter-revolution after the October Revolution, how it changed and developed across the Civil War, and the importance of revolutionary justice, as represented by tribunals, in facilitating the Bolsheviks’ victory. Statistics are unreliable sources and the state faced many problems in gathering data, but these figures permit us to explore key areas and trends, and demonstrate the ability of revolutionary justice to react in more nuanced ways to the counter-revolutionary threat than repressive organs such as the Cheka.

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.
