Book Description: "White Terror: The Russian Civil War, 1917–1920"
This book by I. S. Ratkovsky, a candidate of historical sciences and associate professor at the Institute of History of St. Petersburg State University, offers a detailed examination of the White Terror during the Russian Civil War. The author, a specialist in the history of Russian revolutions and state institutions of the 20th century, analyzes the formation and evolution of White power structures and their interactions with various counter-revolutionary and anti-Bolshevik movements.
Drawing on archival materials, documentary sources, and memoirs of White movement leaders, Ratkovsky addresses key questions: How did the White movement develop, and did it have a chance to change the course of the Civil War? What were the punitive practices of the White movement, and who bore personal responsibility for their implementation? Can it be argued that the Red Terror was a response to the White Terror?
The collection includes previously unpublished materials on the punitive practices of the Kolchak regime in Siberia and the Far East (1918–1920), as well as repressions in the North Caucasus, the Volga region, and other areas. This academic work provides a neutral, source-based perspective on a controversial period. Price: 1003.00 RUR.
