The collection, dedicated to the death of the Far Eastern town of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur in 1920, includes a documentary study by journalist A.Y. Gutman (1889-1950), memoirs of Nikolaevsk residents M.V. Sotnikov and K.A. Emelyanov, evidence from the regional press, as well as correspondence preserved in the Russian State Archive of Social and Political History (RGASPI), records of interrogations of participants in the events, etc. The published materials familiarize the reader with the unprecedented story of the destruction by the Red partisans of a prosperous and populous town in the lower reaches of the Amur River. The impact of the tragedy on the subsequent fate of the Far East is underestimated, the memory of this episode of "red terror" is practically absent in the historical consciousness of society. A.Y. Gutman's book, which contains not only a detailed chronicle of the "Nikolaev massacre", but also valuable testimonies of survivors, has not been republished since 1924. Its publication in modern Russia is an important contribution to restoring the memory of the forgotten tragedy. The book is intended for historians, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for all those interested in Russia's past, the history of the Revolution and the Civil War.
