The memoirs of Major General Anatoly Leonidovich Nosovich (1878-1968), a White agent in the Red Army, published for the first time, along with his documents and journalism, provide valuable documentary material for the study of the history of the Civil War in Southern Russia. General A.L. Nosovich in the spring of 1918 was infiltrated into the Red Army on the assignment of the Moscow anti-Bolshevik underground and the French military mission in Russia. In May 1918 he took the responsible post of chief of staff of the North Caucasus Military District in Tsaritsyn. Nosovich, according to his testimony, conducted active subversive work in the Red Army, which was interrupted in August 1918 by the arrest by decision of a member of the Military Council of the district I.V. Stalin. Later Nosovich managed to be released and continued his underground activities as assistant to the commander of the Soviet Southern Front P.P. Sytin. Having exhausted the possibilities for such work, he went over to the side of the Don Cossacks who were fighting the Reds. The Whites did not believe the defector and arrested him. He was later released and rehabilitated, but the important data obtained by Nosovich had become obsolete by that time. The memoirs are published from a manuscript at the Bibliothèque de Documentation Internationale Contemporaine in Nanterre, France. The edition is provided with the author's biography, archaeographical preface and commentary. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of our country at a critical time.
