The topic covered in this book is extremely rare not only in Russian, but also in foreign publications. There is a lot of published literature on the Russian Civil War, memoirs and memoirs of eyewitnesses of those events. We decided to compile a martyrologist of the participants of the 1st Kuban ("Ice") campaign precisely because no one specifically this topic has not been previously engaged and nowhere such research has not been published. We believe that human memory should raise from oblivion the names of all heroes of the Civil War, without dividing them into Red and White, without praising anyone and without condemning their deeds in the future. White soldiers were able to describe that time in more detail precisely because many of them were lucky enough to survive and emigrate abroad. There they were able to remember the whole epic of the White Army, the departed comrades-in-arms and their fates in a "calm" atmosphere. The Reds could not have anything of the kind due to the fact that it was forbidden to even remember about this campaign (from the beginning to the end of the campaign there was not a single moment that could be called "heroic" for the Red Army, especially if we take into account the incomparable number of soldiers from both sides) and many participants of those battles were later repressed. There is no known little to no detailed list of Red Army soldiers and commanders of the Red Army who opposed the campaign of the Volunteer Army. We hope that our book will help to erase some "white spots" in the history of the Civil War in Russia and thereby memorialize the names of heroic sons and daughters. The book is intended for those interested in Russian history and those who can find relatives and friends in the lists of participants of the campaign.
