CIVIL WAR IN NORTH-WEST RUSSIA (1918—1920): MODERN HISTORIOGRAPHY
Abstract
The article analyzes peculiarities of research of various aspects of the Civil War in Northwest Russia in 1918—1920 at the present stage of historical studies in Russia and abroad. The authors conclude that interest in the events of the Civil War in North-West region has increased in academic circles, and mark features of modern historiography of the considered problem. It is shown that while maintaining a number of traditional topics related to the study of the formation of the Red Army, the interaction of the central and local branches of the Soviet government, etc., the main attention of modern researchers is focused on the analysis of the anti-Bolshevik movement in the region, primarily on the characteristics of the factors that caused defeat of the white guard army of the North-West. Based on the analysis of achievements and argumentative issues in the study of the Civil War in North-West Russia, the authors described the prospects for scientific research of this problem.
