Wrangel and the leaders of Supreme Monarchist Council, Paris monarchists groups, monarchist (legitimist) movement. The focus is on the activities of such White monarchists as P.B. Struve, V.V. Shulgin, and I.A. Ilyin in the 1920s. The author analyzes the views of the representatives of this movement, identifies common ground between them and the command of the army, reviews their new approaches to dealing with the leaders of the Russian émigré monarchists (N.E.
