Another great video from Yan Xishan who is a great YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoUOxixxnTi_Po8eSbfgFGQ … This video is particularly good because it shows just how important Sternberg was in creating modern Mongolia in its approximate modern borders.

Honestly for the non Russian, almost every front in the Russian Civil War is an obscure one. But the Far East is forgotten even in specialist literature. It was a Front that extended as far as 1-10, and had some of the biggest implications for the interwar Pacific and China.pic.twitter.com/cmVLH83nZj

There are a few more that have managed to come out that are not online. I’ve heard Dunscomb’s book is the best book ever written in any language about the Japanese and their motives and interactions with America and the various Russian faction.pic.twitter.com/uOgFK6B1Ws

Here is Norton and his update https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=3108aad9803aee0fdfd7367243ab8be1 … https://archive.org/details/shortoutlineofhi00dalniala/mode/2up … while you are on libgen, please look at these, some of the very few update monographs that came out after the archives became open and Russians got to access white memoir.pic.twitter.com/FCS47yBnYm

I’ve done it. Most of the books ever written on the Far Eastern Republic and the Japanese intervention in Siberia. Henry Norton was a journalist who wrote the fullest accounts of the Far Eastern front as a observer. He saw the Wilson blocking of the Japanese Army’s goals.pic.twitter.com/284g2b21Jn

But yes there were crucial elements of Poles both in the building period of Russian Marxism, 1905, 1917, and the eventual “native red” elements in the Polish-Soviet war. However the most famous Red Pole did something quite different than accomplishing Bolshevik aims.

Latvia Riflemen were the biggest reason the Bolsheviks survived. Their move to Moscow, their security in Moscow, the put down of the Left SR coup, their critical actions against the Czechoslovak Legion which advanced to Kazan. Vasetis was more important than Trotsky militarily.

We are all such idiots. We could have been raking in millions this whole time. ”real racists react to Red Dead Redemption KKK!” ”Ex-Nazi reviews to Schindler’s List” ”Real federal agent infiltrator plays Salo shitbox” ”real serial killers watch Dexter” you’d even get a gfpic.twitter.com/ZA4V0Mrdah

My 3rd piece for
@theamgreatness is now out. This week's focus is on Spain and how ghosts of the past are now returning to haunt the present political scene, with a lesson for Americans of the right as well.

You answered it there, the Army wanted the protectorate, and was pissed from the massacre at Nikolaevsk on Amur. But the pressure from the Domestic home government would prevent them from supporting the White who launched a coup months before the Washington Conferenc.

Why did Japan give up so easily—especially since they occupied north Sakhalin later? For a naval power with Pacific ambitions, surely control of Vladivostok means something. Or were they still in their ‘internationalist’ phase, before the rude awakening at Washington Conference?

The whites had tried to overthrow the socialists in a coup but the Japanese Army was ordered not to help them do so in 1921 the year of this monographs’ publication. Norton’s take here was clearly not seeing the forest through the trees. But it gives us a real idea.

The Japanese would hold on to North Sakhalin until 1925 and treaties with the Soviets, while the whites, decried as “reactionaries“ and “the greatest danger to the republic” fled to Harbin and Shanghai, eventually some made it to California.

The “Moderate Socialists“ mentioned above paid for this monograph as a way to placate foreign observers abroad especially in America before they linked up with the Red Army and destroyed the last White Enclaves in Russia in 1922.

The FER was a product of confused American and disgruntled Japanese intervention and then the collapse of the former The Japanese Army really wanted a Russian buffer state, but were ultimately defeated domestically, forcing them to hand the government over to moderate socialists

I joke about this part because they clearly buttered Norton up to get him to ignore the actual dynamic of the Civil War and the leftward trend of the FER. But, it is a very useful historical resource. I will have it up soon.

Absolutely amazing journalism by Henry K Norton, who wrote the only (for 100 years) English monograph on the Far Eastern Republic in 1921 as Krasnoschekov was getting ready to sell it out to the Bolsheviks entirely. His task here was to sell FER to Americans.pic.twitter.com/6dC791MZEy
