Published for the first time, the diary of Staff Captain Georgy Alekseevich Orlov (1895–1964) of the Volunteer Army covers events from August 12, 1918, to October 25, 1921. The author fought in an artillery division that was part of the Drozdov Division and took part in the initial victories of the Volunteer Army in the Donbass and Ukraine, the offensive on Moscow in 1919 and the subsequent retreat to the south through the Don and Kuban villages, the tragic evacuation from Novorossiysk to Crimea (March 1920), the defense of Perekop, the evacuation of the Russian Army of General P.N. Wrangel from Sevastopol (November 1920), and the famous "Gallipoli sitting" (until October 1921), making daily diary entries for three and a half years. The diary is not only a valuable source for reconstructing the Volunteer Army's military operations, but also contains numerous observations on everyday life, geography, phenology, and historical and ethnological matters. The book is intended for professional historians and anyone interested in the history of the Russian Civil War.
