The collection opens a systematic publication of Trotsky’s military correspondence during the Civil War. For the first time in Russian historiography, the entire complex of telegrams sent by him from the famous train of the People’s Commissariat of War and the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic during his trips to the fronts is published. This publication publishes one and a half thousand documents (telegrams, orders and other materials) signed and received by Trotsky in June-December 1918. The addressees of the correspondence were V. I. Lenin, Y. M. Sverdlov, F. E. Dzerzhinsky, L. B. Krasin, I. V. Stalin and other representatives of the Bolshevik leadership. In addition, Trotsky conducted active correspondence with the Main and Front Command of the Red Army, as well as with regional military commissars. Correspondence contains new knowledge about how the Red Army was created in the most difficult for Soviet Russia in 1918: from scattered detachments to regular units.
