Denikin, P.N. Vrangel, A.S. Lukomskiy, V.M. Krasnov, V.V. Shulgin and other authors wrote about terror of 1917-1921 in their memoirs. All the authors demonstrated the exterior side of Civil war terror. They represented forms and methods of terror vividly. And they told about terror victims too. But all the foreign authors from Russian origin gave evidences of cruelty of only one side – the Red side. But the didn’t much wrote about the White movement terror. The book by R.B.
