The memoirs of a white agent in the Red Army, Major General Anatoly Leonidovich Nosovich (1878–1968), published for the first time, along with his documents and journalism, represent the most valuable documentary material for studying the history of the Civil War in the South of Russia. General A.L. Nosovich in the spring of 1918 was introduced into the Red Army on the instructions 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 Caucasian Military District in Tsaritsyn. Nosovich, according to his testimony, conducted active subversive work in the Red Army, which was interrupted in August 1918 by arrest by decision of a member of the Military Council of the district, I.V. Stalin. Later, Nosovich managed to free himself and continue 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 He was later released and rehabilitated, but the important data obtained by Nosovich was outdated by that time. The memoirs are published according to the manuscript kept in the Library of Contemporary International Documentation in Nanterre (France). The publication is supplied with a biography of the author, an archaeographic preface and comments. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of our country in a critical time.
