The civil war ended a hundred years ago, but the passions on it do not subside and are unlikely to subside in the foreseeable future. Comprehending the social disaster that befell them, each of the warring camps gave rise to his own historical narrative and his own galaxy of the heroes. Today, almost all of them - both white and red - have lost their romantic halo: both warring parties demonstrated rare cruelty in this conflict. The book of Oleg Budnitsky is devoted to the heroes of the Civil War on both sides: it consists of biographical essays about the leaders of the red and white, collective portraits of the most famous military formations of those and others, of the "instant photographs of the Red Army in 1918 and" White Crimea "in the fall of 1920- Go, when the Russian Vandeus lived the last days. The author contrasts the superficial view and demonization/romanticization of these historical personalities.
