Green movement in the Civil War in Russia. The peasant front between red and white. 1918-1922

The book of the Doctor of Historical Sciences, a specialist in the history of the Civil War in Russia A.V. Posadsky is dedicated to the mass peasant armed movement in 1918-1922. It received the name “green” and represented the self -defense of peasants against the invasions of their lives and the life of various participants in the civil war, the form of the village armed struggle for their interests. In the variable circumstances of the Civil War, the green movement could turn into red -green and white -green. However, his main force was the mass. The grand “green” wave of May - August 1919 in Russian provinces demonstrated the attitude of the village to the Communists, Razvystvka, and mobilizers. The poorly constructed peasant protest, although it had no chance of a military victory, was a form of independent peasant participation in the civil war. The author on a large archival and memoirs shows the attitude to green and red camps, third -party observers, pays attention to the image of green in propaganda and literature. The work analyzes the relationship of the green movement with a millionth stream of deserters from the Red Army and the White Armies
