CREATION AND ACTIVITY OF COMMISSIONS TO COMBAT DESERTION IN THE ORENBURG PROVINCE IN 1919
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of combating desertion and evasion from service in the Red Army in the Orenburg Province during the Civil War, which has not yet been touched upon in historical research. Based on archival documents, the events related to the organization of provincial and district commissions to combat desertion are reconstructed. The article describes their activities in conducting round-ups on deserters and evaders in 1919. Statistical data on detained deserters and their distribution are given. The author concludes that by the end of 1919 the Orenburg Provincial Commission for Combating Desertion was finally formed as a state paramilitary organization with an approved staff, material and technical base, legal status and emergency powers.
Key words
