Through their research, the authors have revealed the complexity of the relationship between the Provisional Committee of the State Duma and the Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, as well as the attitude of the Russian officers to the revolutionary changes in the country. The authors note that the name Sinani was taken as a pseudonym by Georgy Borisovich Skalov, another participant in the revolution and the Civil War, and this choice played a tragic role in the fate of the latter. The study is based on the analysis of the documents of the Union of Socialists of the People's Army stored in the State Archive of the Russian Federation, memoirs, and their comparison with published scientific works. The authors have also attempted to reconstruct the main lines of interaction and contradictions between officer groups during the Great October Socialist Revolution.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">На примере судьбы русского офицера Бориса Семеновича Синани в исследовании реконструируются события первых дней Февральской революции, отдельные аспекты работы «военного штаба революции» - Военной комиссии, причины создания и характер функционирования Союза офицеров-республиканцев Народной армии. Выявляются сложности взаимоотношений Временного комитета государственной думы и Советов рабочих и солдатских депутатов, раскрывается отношение русского офицерства к революционным переменам в стране. Авторы отмечают, что фамилия Синани была взята в качестве псевдонима Георгием Борисовичем Скаловым - другим участником революции и Гражданской войны, и этот выбор сыграл трагическую роль в судьбе последнего. Исследование основано на анализе документов Союза социалистов народной армии, хранящихся в Государственном архиве Российской Федерации, мемуарной литературы и их сопоставлении с опубликованными научными работами. Авторы реконструировали основные линии взаимодействия и противоречий офицерских группировок во время Великой российской революции.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>military anthropology</kwd><kwd>historical biography</kwd><kwd>February Revolution</kwd><kwd>officers</kwd><kwd>Russian Imperial Army</kwd><kwd>Petrograd</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>военная антропология</kwd><kwd>историческая биография</kwd><kwd>Февральская революция</kwd><kwd>офицерство</kwd><kwd>Русская императорская армия</kwd><kwd>Петроград</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Burdzhalov, E.N.
