civil war [Theme] Page 1



The memoirs of the commander of the cavalry brigade Yakov Arkadievich Melkumov is the story of an active participant in the fight against Basmachism in the territory of the current socialist republics of Central Asia.
From 1920 to 1932, the author of the memoirs spent hiking in the mountains and deserts of Eastern Bukhara and Khorezm. Warmly and fondly remembers Melkumov of his comrades in the struggle - heroes-Turkestans. Some of them remained unknown to this day, others were undeservedly hammered.
Melkumov's memoirs are strictly documentary, and the reader will read with interest the pages that describe the collapse of the Bukhara Emirate, the fall of the Khiva Khanate, the fight against the international adventurer Enver Pasha and the leader of the Basmachi gangs of Eastern Bukhara Ibrahim Bey.

I'm sure nothing will end on January 20th. We see only the beginning of the process. A civil war never needs an economic background. For a civil war, you need a slowdown on development. All the revolutions that have happened have occurred not on impoverishment, but on the threat of impoverishment.
- On the split of the elites
- And the split of the elites is connected with this inhibition. When people are poor, they have neither the strength nor the capacity to revolution. There are forces for a hunger riot, which is quickly suppressed.

And Gomel, war,
And write different and ask
Who kiss who wine,
Calling the brain endure.

This is a civil war, and do not make "red" white and fluffy. Blood enough, but only the question, for whom was this blood. Here is what is called the Rubicon: it is necessary to understand who fought for what.
