THE RED ARMY IN THE REBEL MOVEMENT IN THE SOUTHERN URALS (1920—1921)
Abstract
The article puts forward the thesis of the need to highlight a special stage in the peasant rebellion during the Civil War — the protest of the Red Army. Beginning in 1920, the Red Army units, known to be supporters of Soviet power, were active in the South Ural region. The tough actions they carried out against the communists secured them the definition of anti-Soviet and anti-communist. In fact, they were not; their protest was directed neither against the Soviets, nor against revolutionary transformations, nor against communist ideas, but against specific people with party membership who carried out the wrong and fatal, in their opinion, course. Hence, such protests of the Red Army should be viewed as attempts to correct the course pursued by the communists in power, and their programs as an alternative to the development of the revolution and the construction of a new world.
Key words
Insurrection, Red Army men, communists, protest, model of building socialism.
