| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. By Oleg Airapetov [REGNUM] On August 1, 1918, V. I. Lenin pointed out that the fate of the revolution was being decided on the Eastern Front, where the successful offensive of the Czechoslovak Corps and the forces of the local counter-revolution continued. It was a correct assessment. At that time, the opponents of Soviet power had already reached the middle Volga region, and there was a danger of creating a united anti-Bolshevik front, relying on the Volga with its rear. The loss of this communication line for a long time could be a blow that the RSFSR could not survive. |
