ABSTRACT
The year 1920 was not one to celebrate in White Siberia. The Red Army was pushing into eastern Siberia, Irkutsk had fallen to the Political Center, the Allies and Czechoslovaks were abandoning Russia, and partisans had taken over most of Amur province and predominated in rural areas of the Maritime province and eastern Transbaikal province. White Siberia had been reduced to shrinking pockets around Ataman Semenov’s Chita and the Transbaikal railway line, Ataman Kalmykov’s Khabarovsk, General Sergei Rozanov’s Vladivostok and the Chinese Eastern Railway zone through northern Manchuria.
