The Civil War is one of the most significant and tragic pages in the history of Russia. A century has passed, but its events still arouse keen interest and are subject to various interpretations, and the biographies of its figures contain many blank spots. A new book by Vyacheslav Bondarenko tells about the fates of five outstanding military leaders of the White movement - S. L. Markov, M. G. Drozdovsky, V. Z. Mai-Maevsky, N. E. Bredov and A. P. Kutepov. All periods of the history of the White Cause were associated with their names - from the creation of the Volunteer Army in December 1917 to the Crimean evacuation of November 1920 and the subsequent emigrant epic. sign of information products 16+
