The diaries of Lieutenant General V. I. Selivachev (1868–1919) are considered a unique historical document covering the period from 1901 to 1917. As a participant in the Russo-Japanese and First World Wars, V. I. Selivachev meticulously, day after day, described all the events that unfolded both at the front and in the rear, paying special attention to the analysis and assessment of the processes taking place.
The first volume includes diaries for 1901–1914: the life and service of an army officer in the pre-war period, a critical look from the inside at the Russo-Japanese War, an analysis of the events of the First Russian Revolution of 1905–1906, the interwar period, the beginning of the First World War.
The second volume includes diaries for January-August 1915: the transfer from East Prussia to the Southwestern Front, battles in the Carpathians and Galicia, the "Great Retreat" in the most difficult conditions of continuous battles, without shells and cartridges. The entries are kept daily.
The third volume includes diaries for September 1915-August 1916: preparation for the failed landing operation in Bulgaria in the fall of 1915, everyday trench life on the Southwestern Front in the winter of 1916, participation in the Lutsk (Brusilov) breakthrough, which brought General Selivachev fame as a "breakthrough specialist". The entries are kept daily.
The final fourth volume includes diaries for September 1916-September 1917. and describes the most dramatic pages of Russian history: February 1917 and the subsequent collapse of the army, the fight against the external enemy (Southwestern Front) and internal (committees and commissars), participation in the Kornilov uprising and the arrest of General Selivachev.
