About the book: 2017 / The Civil War became a natural continuation and an inextricable part of the Russian Revolution, therefore, in the series dedicated to its 100th anniversary, an appeal to the history of that war is inevitable. Why was that war fought with such desperate intransigence, what interests and ideals were defended by the opposing sides who fought “to the death”? How did they solve current and historical problems that stood in their way? After all, it was the answers to these questions that led to the victory of some and the defeat of others. Almost 100 years that have passed since then, and the change of political eras that have occurred, make it possible to look at these issues without ideological and emotional assessments, from a more unbiased and natural scientific point of view. Such a study of history is necessary not only to restore “historical justice”, but for a better understanding of the nature of man and society, the laws driving their development. This approach creates conditions for a more realistic assessment of the present and anticipation of the future. Yes, in the past we are looking for answers about the future, the lives of past generations did not pass without a trace, they left us their invaluable experience, which they got at the cost of enormous sacrifices and cruel suffering. This book is the second in the series “To the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.” Author's website: Galin.biz
