V.G. Khandorin Kolchak and “Finnish question”

Abstract: The paper investigates the issue of the negotiatiations of the White Kolchak Government with Finnish authorities about the military assistance in 1919. The aim of work is to clarify the course of the events and the reasons for the unsuccessful outcome of the negotiations. The article presents new archival documents that provide insights on the history of negotiations. The documents did not support the version of the “anti-national policy” of the White movement, and reveal the viable reasons for the refusal of Kolchak in meeting the demands of Finland. Cited documents confirm the stable greatpatriotic standing of A.V. Kolchak and the other top leaders of the White Guard in the Finnish question and in view of the national question as a whole. The documents reveal that the objective reasons for denying the demands of Finland were the absence of the guarantees of military support from Finland in addition to the political risks in a complex political environment. The results of this paper can be used in reviewing works on the history of the Russian Civil War, the White movement in Russia and Siberia.


Keywords:
