The system of the party-political work in the Red Army during the civil war (1918 - 1920). Part 1

It has been convincingly proven in the Russian and Soviet historiography, that in the fire of the fratricidal Civil War in Russia (1918 - 1920), a unique military-historical phenomenon arose and strengthened in the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army: party-political work carried out by the power structures of the Soviet state and the ruling Communist Party. Analyzing this phenomenon, the authors examine its system, which was distinguished by a complex organization, which included many subsystems and various parameters, united by the conceptual basis of Bolshevism and the unity of forms and methods of organizational, party and ideological work.
