| description | The article analyzes a memo from the head of the Shanghai branch of the General
Military Union, General M. K. Dieterichs, to the leadership of the ROVS, which is
practically unknown to domestic researchers. The document is kept in the collections
of the Bakhmetyev Archive of Russian and Eastern European History and Culture
at Columbia University. The text of the memo shows the discrepancy between the
author’s realistic assessment of the international situation in the Far East, the situation
in the Far Eastern regions of the USSR, where there was an increase in discontent
with the activities of the Soviet government, as well as the state of White emigration
in China and the presentation of the prospects of the anti-Soviet movement based
on Dieterichs’ belief in the exclusively repressive and spiritually alien Russian people
essence of Soviet power and readiness a significant part of the ordinary military
emigration to sacrifice in the overthrow of the «Bolshevik yoke». In the end, this
discrepancy had a negative impact on the course of the anti-Soviet struggle. |
