The most important test of the XX century for Russia was the Civil War and the foreign intervention of 1918-1921. In his book, the famous writer, historian and publicist Sergey Georgievich Kara-Murza touches upon and comprehends many important issues of this period that have not lost relevance to this day. To what extent did different civilizational approaches to the further development of Russia influence the beginning of the Civil War; what role did the social racism of the influential part of the Russian elite play; was the Civil War exclusively class and revolutionary or was it also of a national liberation nature? To answer these questions, S.G. Kara-Murza attracts a huge amount of information. In addition to little-known facts and excerpts from the personal diaries of the participants of the events, they use data from foreign reports and books that were not published in Russian.
