Denikin's headquarters was against this idea.
Denikin opposed such a plan.
Denikin also acknowledged this, in his memoirs he noted:“.
General Timanovsky, Markov's aide, a
brave and skillful commander, arrived in Odessa from Denikin's army.
At the same time, Denikin announced non-interference in the internal affairs of the Crimea.
In Denikin's memoirs, they look like a gang of marauders, not“warriors of Holy Russia.”.
January 5, 1920 Kolchak signed the abdication, he appointed Denikin as the supreme ruler.
Georgia, according to Denikin, lived by“Russian heritage”(which was true)
and could not be an independent state.
Denikin, Wrangel, Mannerheim, Kolchak and other
enemies of Soviet Russia became the"heroes" of the new Russia.
Denikin writes a lot about these disagreements on the pages of"Essays on the Russian Troubles.".
June 20(July 3) the Commander-in-Chief of the All-Union Armed Forces Denikin arrived in the city.
Soon, the Makhnovists took Mariupol, threatened Taganrog,
where there was a headquarters of Denikin, Sinelnikov and Volnovakha.
Georgian leaders, whose policies Denikin described as“anti-Russian,” did not want
an alliance with the Bolsheviks or volunteers.
The 2 Army operated in a southerly
direction, liberated Odessa and the Crimea, and fought against Denikin.
A few days later, Denikin liberated the entire district,
Gagra, and reached the line of the Bzyb River.
In addition, there was a political factor- Denikin has not yet recognized the all-Russian power of Kolchak.
In addition,
Sorokin was eventually executed by the Bolsheviks but managed to earn the praise of the Denikin:.
In addition,
Sorokin was eventually shot by the Bolsheviks themselves, but managed to earn praise of Denikin himself:.
Denikin wanted to transfer Timanovsky's brigade from Odessa to this site, but
the Allied command did not give permission.
Therefore, General Denikin rightly noted that“for historical or ethnographic reasons,
Georgia did not have any rights to Sochi district”.
As a result, during December 1918,
the oncoming battle of the 11 Red Army with Denikin's army broke out.
In addition, the movement in the Kiev direction brought Denikin's army closer to Poland, which opposed Soviet Russia.
But having a base allowed Alekseev, Kornilov and Denikin to create a powerful personnel core of the army.
Successfully attacked Denikin's army in southern Russia,
prepared a strike on Petrograd Yudenich, and Kolchak was not yet defeated.
Soon, Bogaevsky was elected ataman who was a
member of the First Kuban campaign and did not contradict Denikin.
Therefore, the Allied command actively intervened in the
activities of the Crimean government and hindered the activities of Denikin.
It was believed that soon Denikin's army would be defeated
and whites in the Kerch area would be doomed.
This made it possible to occupy more industrialized
and industrially developed provinces, to join forces with the army of Denikin.
During this period, Denikin tried to limit the collapse of Russia, while preserving
the Transcaucasus in its sphere of influence.
The Crimean Center of the
Volunteer Army, headed by General Baron de Bode, will begin recruiting volunteers for Denikin's army.
