ABSTRACT
We began to organize military units and Red Guards. That was the way we started. I was doing important work at the Viri works, in the tram workshops and the workshops of the Vladikavkáz Railway.
After Potótski’s arrest Kalédin began to advance, completely shattering our resistance, since our main strength was not organized and we had very little military organization. Many of the workers did not know how to shoot and could not hold their rifles properly. There were even cases when they shot some of our own men from the rear, not intentionally but just because they were so clumsy.
