The White movement in Siberia is a huge layer of facts, personalities, events, sometimes forgotten, but closely connected with the history of Russia. Several governments operating in Siberia almost simultaneously; the role of Komuch (the Committee of Members of the Constituent Assembly, dispersed by the Bolsheviks); a separatist movement called oblastnichestvo (Siberian region), advocating for the separation of Siberia from Russia or, at least, complete autonomy; the Czechoslovak Corps - where it came from and why it played such a big role in Siberia; the cabinet of General Horvat, the head of the CER, who declared himself the Supreme Ruler of the Far East; the intervention of foreign powers and their political declarations; the Manchu and Ussuri Cossacks and the affairs of the atamans of the Cossack troops... And finally, the personality, rule and tragic end to the life of Admiral A.V. Kolchak. G.K. Gins's book answers many questions. Facts that remain outside the scope of history textbooks are generously scattered on the pages of his memoirs. The testimony of a person involved in the events is always of great interest, especially since the author tried to maintain objectivity and impartiality.
