Remarks

  1. ↑ Eastern Front is of course meant from the Russian point of view and refers in this case to the Middle Volga region and the Western Urals ( Perm region ).
  2. ↑ Trotsky met Blagonrawov on that eastern front and writes in chapter 33 ( A Month in Svyashsk ) of his memoirs: “It was Blagonrawov, a lieutenant in the tsarist army , a young Bolshevik ... In his capacity as commissar he had the task of capturing the spirit of the Lift specialists. Instead he incited her against me at the critical moment, actually encouraging her to desert, and was now caught in the act by me. I couldn't believe my eyes or my ears. During 1917 Blagonrawov had shown himself to be a brave revolutionary. He was commissioner of the Peter and Paul Fortress in the days of the upheaval , then took part in the liquidation of the Junker Rebellion (Russian Junker Rebellion ). I gave him responsible assignments during the Smolny period ( after November 8, 1917, the Smolny was the residence of the first Soviet government = Council of People's Commissars ). He dealt with them well ... I had sent this Blagonrawov to the Eastern Front ... and now I surprise him in the most critical hours on the verge of open treason ... Blagonrawov was trembling, was very pale, stood there, his hand on his cap. "Don't hand me over to the tribunal," he repeated desperately, "I'll make up for my guilt, send me to the front row as a soldier." ... He was removed and used for less responsible work ... Now Blagonrawow is a member of the GPU College, a pillar of the regime. "
  3. ↑ People's Commissar = Minister.
