Abstract
The article is devoted to the events related with the evacuation of the defeated White Russian Army and civilians from the Crimea in November 1920 under the leadership of Lieutenant General Baron P.N. Wrangel. The developments in the South of Russia are analyzed on the basis of accounts by eyewitnesses. Special attention is paid to their estimates of the general situation of the White Crimea and P.N. Wrangel’s activities as its head, the weak points in the organization of the Peninsula’s defence, as well as issues concerning the planning and carrying out of the evacuation itself. The author concluded that in the given circumstances the efficient actions of Lieutenant General P.N. Wrangel, Commander in Chief of the Russian Army in the Crimea, ensured that as many White soldiers and civilians as possible were evacuated to Constantinople, thus saving them from imminent death during the consequent Red Terror.
