Abstract
Today some researchers turn to the problem of revolution and the subsequent Civil War through interpreting these events from the standpoint of one well-known participant or eyewitness, involving memoirs as their main sources in the year of the centennial of the celebration of the Great Russian Revolution of 1917. Memoirs can demonstrate how events refracted from the point of view of the author of memories. We are deem it necessary to deepen the study of the 1917 Revolution by bringing to the problem the analysis and comparison of the memoirs of the outstanding participants in the Great Russian Revolution, which in this study are the red and white officers. We refer to the recollections of people who, as early as 1917, represented a seemingly unified Russian army, and by the end of the year already divided into two opposing blocs. We analyze their memories and use the dualistic approach and other methods to identify the most vivid, responding events and processes, reconstruct their perception by the officers. We also strive to identify common and various features in the interpretation of certain events with the aim of presenting the most complete and multifaceted picture of the Great Russian Revolution of 1917.
