Abstract:
The volunteer Czechoslovak corps played a key role in the outbreak of the civil war in Russia in 1918-1920, but in modern historiography its role in the civil war is silenced or evaluated inconsistently. The author, using the evidence of the White movement and the Czechoslovak Legionnaires themselves, examines the role of the Czechoslovak corps in the civil war. The article shows the features of the corps formation and its social composition. The corps was a kind of military unit formed of Czech colonists living in Russia, Czech prisoners of war and nationalist Slovaks, illiterate soldiers who did not understand politics, who sought to get to their homeland faster, adventurers, careerists, counter-revolutionary Russian officers. The action of the Czechoslovak corps was the beginning of the uprising of opponents of Soviet power and the deployment of hostilities in the Urals and Siberia, the emergence of mass terror and robbery of civilians. The beginning of the uprising caused the consolidation of all anti-Bolshevik forces in the country and contributed to the incitement of large-scale, long, fierce civil war in Russia in 1918-1920.
