"The white General with a bouquet of black orchids"...the White General, writer and journalist George Goncharenko (literary pseudonym Yuri Galich) in my life went through a lot: Brusilovsky breakthrough, for which he was awarded the George weapon, the imprisonment in Kiev on the orders of Petliura, running from the Crimea to Constantinople, and again return to Russia, hoping to fight in the army of Kolchak. His life had many trials: the death of his wife in hungry Petrograd, the executions of fellow soldiers, the years of wandering outside the country... And the true glory of a writer came to him only outside of the Fatherland at the end of his difficult life path. In addition to the poetry of the Galic (Goncharenko) wrote novels, philosophical sketches, essays, memoirs, novels, where "he was in a living shape draws pictures of what he witnessed in life." The most famous story of Galich "Red dance" dedicated to the life and service of the author under the command of major-General Pavel Petrovitch skoropadski. The work is admirably described many "discoveries" of the nature of the Hetman's government in Kiev, and among the protagonists we meet a lot of famous historical names, from the nearest environment of the Russian Imperial family until the French Marshal augereau, generals Krasnov, Golovin, Biskupcova, Krymov and others.
