ЖЕЛЕЗНЫЕ ДОРОГИ СИБИРИ И ДАЛЬНЕГО ВОСТОКА В ГОДЫ ГРАЖДАНСКОЙ ВОЙНЫ (1918–1922) Статья вторая

Abstract

The article recreates the pages of history of rail transport in Siberia and the Far East in the period of acute social conflict in Russia in 1918-1922 years. The Trans-Siberian and the Chinese Eastern railway had access to the main ports of Russia in the Pacific. The Amur and Ussuri Railways were seized by white guards and interventionists who carried out punitive actions against railway workers and civilians. As a consequence of this occupation policy in Primorye, the Amur region and Transbaikalia developed guerrilla movement. The authors cite numerous facts that show that during the years of the civil war, the Railways suffered greatly, being destroyed by a number of active participants in those events – the whites, the interventionists, the guerrillas, and the People's Revolutionary army.
