The fate of "Kolchak's gold" - part of the gold reserves of the Russian Empire, which fell into the hands of the whites in 1918 - is one of the most famous and exciting mysteries of Russian history of the twentieth century. Based on materials from American, British and Russian archives, the historian Oleg Budnitsky managed to solve this mystery and trace the movement of the proceeds from the sale of gold, which were spent until the end of the 1950s. The meaning of such a historical "investigation" is not only to put an end to the protracted debate about the fate of "Kolchak's gold". This plot serves as the core on which the problems of the history of the White movement and its foreign financing, relations between the Whites and their allies, Russian “diplomacy in exile”, Russian emigration, and others are “strung”. Ultimately, this is another attempt to answer the key question of Russian history of the twentieth century: why the Reds won the Civil War, and not the Whites. Oleg Budnitsky - Doctor of History, Professor, Director of the International Center for the History and Sociology of World War II and Its Consequences, National Research University Higher School of Economics, member of the European Academy; specialist in the field of Russian history of the second half of the XNUMXth - XNUMXth centuries.
