Abstract
The review evaluates the book by literary critic and historian Professor B.V. Sokolov, dedicated to the fate of Soviet writers who associated themselves with the White Movement. The work under review makes an attempt to highlight previously little-known episodes of the participation of writers in the Civil War, who were forced for the time being to hide certain pages of their past. It was found that the restoration of authentic biographies faces methodological difficulties.
