Excerpt from A Prisoner of the Reds: The Story of a British Officer Captured Siberia

My second instance is from Kolchak's Army. In June, 1919, a Russian Colonel who had escaped from the Bolsheviks delivered a lecture on Bolshevism at Omsk, under the auspices of Admiral Kolchak. It was an able, restrained, and crushing condemnation of the Soviet Government, but the speaker admitted, what is quite true, that the Reds work extremely hard. This admission infuriated one of the audience, an old dug-out Tsarist General, who forthwith jumped to his feet and interrupted the lecturer by loud and violent protestations that he had not come there to hear the Bolsheviks praised. He finally left the hall in a terrible rage, and five months later he was running for his life from Omsk owing to the fact that Kolchak's whole army had crumbled to pieces, because most of its leaders had made no attempt during the year they ruled Siberia to emulate the tireless industry of the Reds.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the author's harrowing journey through the chaos and turmoil of Bolshevik Russia in early 1920. Fleeing the advancing Red Army, the author and a small group of British officers and civilians embark on a desperate race across the frozen Siberian landscape. Their escape is fraught with danger, from congested railways and hostile guerilla bands to the ever-present threat of typhus and the brutal Siberian winter. The narrative vividly portrays the collapse of infrastructure, the disintegration of social order, and the desperate plight of refugees caught in the crossfire of civil war. Beyond the personal account of survival, the author offers a critical analysis of Bolshevik ideology and its impact on Russian society. He challenges the prevailing propaganda of the time, highlighting the stark realities of life under Communist rule. The book delves into the complexities of the Russian Revolution, exploring themes of political fanaticism, social upheaval, and the human cost of ideological conflict. Ultimately, this firsthand account provides a valuable window into a pivotal moment in history, shedding light on the enduring consequences of the Bolshevik Revolution and its impact on the Russian people. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
