This work is a continuation and development of articles published in 2003-2005. in the literary, artistic, historical and local history journal Vesi. Summing up the events of the summer and autumn of 1918 in the Trans-Urals, the author relied on the works of B.B. Filimonov "On the paths to the Urals" and "Struggle in the Trans-Urals," comparing them with materials from the red and Czechoslovak historians. Archival documents were attracted in very small numbers, mainly to clarify the numbers, and therefore the author considers this work a popular military-historical essay.
