	Aleksandr Kolchak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aleksandr Vasiliyevich Kolchak (Александр Васильевич Колчак in Russian) (November 4 (November 16 NS), 1874 – February 7, 1920) was a Russian naval commander and later head of part of the anti-Bolshevik White forces during the Russian Civil War.
		Kolchak was a absolute supporter of the Allied cause against Germany, and initially hearing of the Bolshevik coup on November 7, 1917, he offered to enlist in the British Army to continue the struggle.
		Kolchak could not count on Japanese aid either; they feared he would interfere with their occupation of Far Eastern Russia and refused him assistance, creating a 'buffer state' to the east of Lake Baikal under Cossack control.

		Kolchak was a supporter of the Provisional Government (additional info and facts about Provisional Government) and returned to Russia, through Vladivostok (A seaport in the Asian part of Russia), in 1918.
		Kolchak's good relations with General Knox meant that his forces were almost entirely armed, munitioned and uniformed by the British (up to August 1919 the British spent an official $239 million aiding the Whites, although Churchill disputed this figure at the time as an "absurd exaggeration").

		Aleksandr Vasil'evich was born on 4/16 November 1874 in St. Petersburg, the son of a naval artillery officer, Vasilii Ivanovich KOLCHAK; his mother came from a gentry family from the southern Ukraine (reportedly from Odessa).
		Kolchak's second task, the landing at the Bosporus, was postponed by the entry of Rumania into the war on 14/27 August 1916; the rapid collapse of the Rumanian army forced the Russians to commit the troops intended for the Bosporus operation to the shoring-up of the Rumanian front.
		Kolchak was in the United States when the Bolsheviks seized power; he was deeply upset by their avowed goal of dropping out of the war, and so, making his way to Tokyo, he offered his services to the British on 23 November/6 December 1917.

		Despite Kolchak's meetings with the Provisional Government and cooperation with the Sailor's Soviets, Bolshevik agitators and the continual strikes in the ship-building and repair yards finally took their toll and the fleet mutinied in June 1917, demanding that the officers be disarmed.
		Kolchak writes about "the terrifying burden of Supreme Power" and that he thought of himself as "a fighting man, reluctant to face the problems of state craft." Either way, the British knew about the coup and had given it their approval, provided there was no bloodshed.
		Not all the blame for the Kolchak government's inability to win the support of the people can be placed on the incompetence of government officials, the atrocities and violence of army officers, or even on the fact that regular army officers encouraged desertions by their degree of cruelty and summary justice to their own men.

		Admiral Kolchak's early service at the siege of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War led to his participation in the series of reforms instituted within the Russian Navy, and the creation of the Russian Naval General Staff.
		Kolchak then offered his services to the British Navy after the beginning of the Brest-Litovsk negotiations; his offer was accepted and he was directed to report to duty with British forces in Mesopotamia, a duty station almost immediately changed to Siberia instead.
		Kolchak proceeded to antagonise elements within the government, as well as the Czechosolovak Legion which held the Trans-Siberian Railroad, and, after a series of political and military defeats in the summer of 1919, relinquished command to General Anton Denikin on 4 January 1920.

		This book traces the clash between the 'Reds' of the Moscow-based Soviet regime and the 'Whites', the militaristic, counter-revolutionary governments which were established around the periphery of Russia and aided by Allied interventionists.
		In particular, it details the epic history of the White movement in Siberia, and the fortunes of its leader, Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak.
		Using a wide range of contemporary sources, Jonathan Smele examines Kolchak's political and military record, and concludes that the White defeat resulted as much from the harsh facts of Siberian economy and geography as from failures of White policy and leadership.
