÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷In Soviet historical literature the name of Boris Vladimirovich Annenkov, who passed the path from the centurion of the 1st Siberian Cossack regiment named after Ermak Timofeev to the commander of the Semirechensk army - was always accompanied by the most derogatory epithets, and his deeds were characterized as gangster. “A figure bright in its ugliness,” “a beast,” “a black hero of the Civil War, who littered his bloody path with the skulls and bones of tens of thousands of working people of Russia,” “the idol of all the White Guard scum”—this is how Soviet historians wrote about him. And yet, who is he, the brilliant chieftain, called a bandit, the hope of the bourgeoisie, a convinced monarchist? Did he have special reasons to fight to restore the collapsed monarchy? Are the charges against him fair? Are the legends about him true? The book by V.A. talks about this. Goltseva.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷
