Red partisans are among the most mythologized participants of the Civil War. The reality depicted in memoirs, reports of White Guard headquarters and newspaper chronicles clashes with the heroic image that Soviet propaganda has long created. In his study, A. Teplyakov shows how the radicalism of urban activists combined with the marginal element of the village split by social cataclysms and gave rise to the phenomenon of partisanship as a pogrom movement. Based on numerous primary sources, the author of the book reveals the involvement of partisans in the class purges in villages and towns, which led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people, most of whom belonged to the indigenous population of the eastern regions. Alexei Teplyakov is a candidate of historical sciences, senior researcher at the Institute of History of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
