Description
Summary:The article explores the problems of interaction between the government of the Mountainous Republic and the Volunteer Army in the late 1918-1919. It identifies the factors that hindered the consolidation of these actors in the revolutionary period in the North Caucasus region. It is noted that despite the common tasks associated with the fight against the Bolsheviks, the Mountainous Republic and A. Denikin were divided by insurmountable contradictions: after the Bolsheviks came to power, the mountainous figures embarked on building an independent state, while the White administration fought to preserve the integrity of the space of the collapsed Russian Empire. Furthermore, the article emphasizes that the vulnerable position of the Mountainous Republic, lacking a combat-ready army, broad social base among the indigenous population, and political authority at the time under consideration, did not allow the White authorities to consider the mountain democratic political elite as a force whose alliance would have a significant impact on the outcome of the struggle against Bolshevism in the region.
