Admiral Kolchak in Omsk: on history of Civil War in Russia and geopolitical redistribution of Europe after First World War

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the circumstances of coming to power in the anti-Bolshevik Omsk of Admiral A. V. Kolchak.
He concentrated in his hands the executive, legislative, judicial and military power becoming the Supreme Ruler of Russia and
the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. The author comes to the conclusion that the appearance of A.V. Kolchak in Omsk was
a consequence of the contradictions between British and French politicians, and the admiral himself, relying on the British,
was a victim of a redivision of the world following the First World War.
