Victims of Intervention: A Historical Account of Soviet Resistance
This compelling book delves into the aftermath of the Russian Civil War and the foreign intervention that followed. When Western powers demanded repayment of debts from the Tsarist and Provisional governments, the Soviet authorities refused and issued counterclaims. To restore justice and support those harmed by the brutalities of the interventionists and the White movement, the Society for the Assistance of Victims of Intervention (OSJI) was established in 1924. This organization aimed to protect the people and preserve documents that would prevent the West from concealing numerous crimes and evading material debts.
The authors, including Ratkovsky, have extensively researched archives from St. Petersburg, Moscow, the Urals, the Volga region, the Far East, and Kazakhstan. The book includes materials from OSJI and personal questionnaires of victims, offering a unique perspective on a turbulent period. While some may question the relevance of century-old events, the narrative prompts reflection on current threats to Russia's national security and historical parallels. Even experts will discover new insights from the vast documentary evidence presented. Price: 519.00 RUR.
