About this ebook

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 After two years of warfare, the Russian Army was not what it had been. The majority of the original officers and men had been killed or wounded, and the new officers and soldiers were not suitable instructors for the men. The morale of the troops was excellent, but the discipline was not.

#2 There was a growing movement behind the lines to help the soldiers, known as the moral standard of the army was decreasing. The soldiers were not respecting other people’s property anymore, and they were not doing anything about it.

#3 The Czarevitch’s regiment of Nerchinsk Cossacks, which I commanded during the winter of 1916, was part of a division of Oussourian Cossacks. The majority of the officers of the Oussourian division had been in Admiral Koltchak’s army and met again under the command of Ataman Semenov and General Ungern.

#4 In Russia, the pretense of stern authority was reduced to a matter of public speaking matches and political debates. Yet, the majority of the population remained absorbed in its little daily cares.

    #4

    In Russia, the pretense of stern authority was reduced to a matter of public speaking matches and political debates. Yet, the majority of the population remained absorbed in its little daily cares.

    #5

    I began my service as aide-de-camp to the Czar one Saturday, relieving Duke Nicholas of Leuchtenberg. The next day, I accompanied their Majesties to church. I was struck by the Empress’s expression of sorrowful ecstasy, while the Czar’s expression of pious contemplation.

    #6

    I was made commander of the brigade of which my old Nerchinsk regiment was a part. I was genuinely sorry to part from my gallant comrades-in-arms with whom I had shared victory, fatigue, and danger for fourteen months.

    #7

    I was promoted to the rank of general at the end of January. I left to join the Army. The winter was very harsh, and the march was difficult, but our Transbaikalian horses were used to such conditions.

    #8

    The officers of the Russian army, including the nobles, the municipality, and the merchants, were extremely welcoming and made sure they provided us with everything we needed. We were far from thinking about the horrors of the future.

    #9

    The Russian Revolution, which took place in March 1917, was the result of social discontent and the destruction of the monarchical idea. The Army was extremely passive during the crisis, doing nothing to help the country or the troops.

    #10

    I went to see General Krymov, who was in charge of the camp. He was optimistic about the future, believing that we were on the cusp of a renaissance. He told me the names of the members of the Provisional Government, which included Goutchkov, the Minister of War.

    #11

    I was sent to Petersburg to see Goutchkov, the minister of war. I found him in his shirt-sleeves and led breeches, surrounded by torn-up newspapers and trampled-upon papers. He was beside himself. I was given permission to leave the army, and went to see Goutchkov.

    #12

    The first thing I noticed in Petersburg was the profusion of red ribbon. Everyone was decorated with it, not only soldiers, but students, chauffeurs, cab-drivers,
