Latvian Shooters and Izhevsk Anty-Bolsheviks Revolt Suppression

Abstract

The article deals with a theme of so-called decision role of the Latvian shooters in the suppression of the Izhevsk Anti-Bolsheviks revolt of 1918 and their participation in the mass Red terror which has followed. Analyzing different points of view and documents the author proves that its role was very exaggerated and even distorted by the modern historiography.
