Participation of the Terek Cossacks in the anti-Bolshevik movement on the Terek in 1917-1920: political aspect, armed struggle, results

This article handles the problems related to the study of the participation of the Terek Cossack army in the events related to the Revolution and the Civil War of 1917-1920 on the territory of the Terek region. The struggle was for raising the political status of the Terek Cossacks and the Terek region, for which it was necessary to enter an alliance with the mountain liberal intelligentsia, which also fought for autonomy, and then federalization within the framework of the democratic Russian Republic. An analysis of the reasons for the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks on the Terek in 1918, the role of the Terek Cossacks in this process, the results of the Terek uprising of 1918 are given. The active participation of the Terek Cossacks in the anti-Bolshevik armed movement in 1919-1920 is argued. The consequences of the defeat of the white movement for the Terek Cossacks, the deportation of the Terek villages from the territory of the region, are showed. Conclusions are drawn that the defeat in the Civil War and active participation on the side of the White Guard led to the deportation of the Cossacks and the deprivation of the “titular” status of both the Terek Cossacks and the Tersk region itself.
