Amidst this confusion, Churchill concentrated on the British zone in South Russia, and on the promising aspects therein, namely Denikin’s victory in the Kuban and Terek.
On February 22, Churchill was shown an encouraging report on the recent successes of the Volunteer Army in the Kuban. ‘If the advance of the Volunteer Army continues, and they reach the Caspian’, the DMI pointed out, ‘it ought to have a great effect on the morale of the anti-Bolshevik forces in all areas.’ But this appreciation found Churchill in an irritated mood.
