The author, widely using documents and memoirs preserved in archives, shows the history and defeat of one of the main detachments of the Russian counter-revolution - Kolchakism. The book is full of new material about the civil war. It reveals the mechanism of anti-Sovietism: having begun the struggle under the slogan of "pure democracy," it has historically inevitably slipped towards the establishment of a bloody dictatorship. The book is intended for historians, teachers of social sciences, propagandists, as well as everyone who is interested in the history of our Motherland.
