Based on a huge number of sources and literature, the book presents a new version of the events of one of the most intense periods in the history of the XX century. For the first time in Russian historiography they are considered through the prism of German interests and the logic of the elites of the Kaiser's Germany, whose representatives from March to November 1918. From March to November 1918, their representatives determined the fate of vast areas, trying to control them not only in Berlin or Moscow, but also in Petrograd, Kovno, Constantinople, Kiev, Sevastopol, Novocherkassk, Tiflis, Baku... Behind the superficial idea of chaos, ridiculous mistakes or unbridled appetites, a complex picture of the struggle of the most heterogeneous forces between the warring parties, and within each of them: personal sympathies, prejudices and interests that often had fatal consequences for entire state projects, a merciless struggle not of ideologies and principles but of egos and fantasies, desperate attempts to cope with space and time itself, squeezing the maximum out of the infrastructure and technology of the first quarter of the 20th century.
