The Red Army could not have won the Civil War of 1917-1922 without tens of thousands of former officers who served in its ranks. At the same time, the very mention of the word "officer" at the beginning of 1918 in Soviet Russia could lead to unjust reprisals. Therefore, former officers who joined the new army of "the world's first state of workers and peasants" were called military specialists, or military specialists for short. Everyone in the Civil War had to make a difficult choice. Some played an outstanding role in the creation and strengthening of the Red Army in responsible positions. Others paid tribute to the era, imitating the revolutionaries, with nothing and no one to reckon with. Others showed themselves as heroes. There were among military specialists and victims, and defectors, and conscious enemies of Soviet power - active members of the White underground. The life and difficult fates of military spetsov are devoted to a new study of Doctor of Historical Sciences AV Ganin. The work is based on the documents of thirty archives of Russia and foreign countries. The book is intended for all those interested in the military and political history of Russia and neighboring countries in the revolutionary era.
