American and British officers were the appalled eyewitnesses to many desperate acts of suicide by Russian men and women who preferred their own death and that of their wives and children to falling into the hands of the Cheka/NKVD/GPU/KGB.
The Cossack General, Pyotr Krasnov, had fought against the Bolsheviks back in 1918 and hoped that the British would sympathize with his situation, remembering their own intervention at that time on the side of the White Russians.
Krasnov in turn had then been decorated with the British Military Cross.

In June 1941, shortly after Hitler's invasion of Russia, German agents persuaded General Pyotr Krasnov, "ataman" (chieftain) of a band of Cossacks, to command a battalion of these fighters, famed for their aversion to communism.
Krasnov, then 72 years old, was one of the most colorful figures of the 20th-century.
The crux of the book is the "enigma woven around the death of Krasnov", an enigma that begins on 2 May 1945.

 Guardian | Historian backs defector's war bribery claim
The new evidence could help to untangle the truth behind one element of the most controversial - and to many allied soldiers, shameful - events in British military history, when 70,000 Cossacks and dissident Yugoslavs were forcibly repatriated by British 5th Corps from south-western Austria in June 1945.
According to the notes Mitrokhin made from KGB archives, published in the Times, a group of White Russian generals, including Pyotr Krasnov and Andrei Shkuro, were tracked to a camp in the village of Gleisdorf in Austria by Smersh, Soviet military counter intelligence.
Krasnov and Shkuro, who had never been Soviet citizens and were two of Stalin's most hated enemies, were hanged in 1947.

Toward the end of the war General Krasnov and some other Cossack leaders persuaded Hitler and his authorities to allow all civilians and non-fighting Cossacks to settle on a permanent basis in the sparsely settled foothills of the Italian Alps, more precisely in Carnia.
On May 28, 1945, two thousand and forty six Cossack officers and generals, including the world famous cavalry leaders, Generals Pyotr Krasnov, Andrei Shkuro and Kiletch-Girey, were disarmed and carried in British cars and trucks to a neighboring town held by the Red Army.
The bulk of this group was sent to labor camps in the Far North and Siberia, mostly to succumb to death.

In the memoirs, Shkuro claims that he saved from execution a Red Army battalion of Jewish volunteers taken prisoner by the Whites, and that he spoke out against and prevented pogroms against the Jewish population.
White Army General Pyotr Wrangel, who besides initiative demanded discipline from his subordinates, had a low opinion of Shkuro.
On January 17, 1947, he was executed together with Pyotr Krasnov by hanging.

By September of 1918, the Volunteer Army had already had 30,000-35,000 men thanks to mobilization of the Kuban Cossacks and "counterrevolutionary elements", gathered in the North Caucasus.
In the early 1920, it retreated to the areas beyond the Don region and was reduced to a Corps of 5,000 men under the command of General Alexander Kutepov.
On March 26 and March 27, 1920, the remnants of the Volunteer Army were evacuated from Novorossiysk to the Crimea, where they merged with the army of Pyotr Wrangel.

On 27 May 1945, in accordance with the agreement signed in Vienna by British and Soviet authorities, the British began to hand over to the Soviets the interned soldiers of the Eastern formations as well as the Cossacks.
On that day, in Graz, they handed over the generals von Pannwitz, Pyotr Krasnov, and Andrei Shkuro.
All three hoped to the last that they would escape this fate, for von Pannwitz held German nationality, and the other two had emigrated from Tsarist Russia and had never held Soviet citizenship.

 Socialism Today - Lenin: the original dictator?
The fact that criticism could be raised on the streets is verified by many eyewitness reports.
The reformist Mensheviks and the anarchists operated in total freedom and could, for example, organise mass demonstrations at the funerals of Georgi Plekhanov and Prince Pyotr Kropotkin (in 1918 and 1921) respectively.
By then the Soviet government was surrounded by the White generals, Pyotr Krasnov and Anton Denikin, in the South, the German army in the West, and Czech forces in the East.

It was events surrounding the repatriation that led to the bitter 1989 libel trial in which Lord Aldington, then Chief of Staff of the British 5th Corps in Austria, was awarded a record £1.5 million damages against the historian Count Nikolai Tolstoy, who accused him of being a "war criminal".
In extracts from their book The Mitrokhin Archive, serialised by The Times, Mr Mitrokhin and Christopher Andrew claim that an unnamed lieutenant-colonel was allegedly paid to release the three leading generals - Pyotr Krasnov, Andrei Shkuro and Sultan Kelech Ghirey - into the hands of Smersh (Soviet military counter-intelligence) agents.
There's also a bit in NIGHTS ARE LONGEST THERE by A I Romanov - the only autobiography by a serving Smersh officer I know of - in which he talks about picking up Krasnov et al and wonders why on earth the British agreed to hand them over.

Immediately prior to Trotsky's return to the capital, the Mensheviks had independently come up with the same idea that Trotsky had -- an elected non-party revolutionary organization representing the capital's workers, the first Soviet ("Council") of Workers.
By the time of Trotsky's arrival, the St. Petersburg Soviet was already functioning with Khrustalyov-Nosar (Georgy Nosar, alias Pyotr Khrustalyov), a compromise figure, at its head and proved to be very popular with the workers in spite of the Bolsheviks' original opposition.

Regarding the case of General Evgenii Miller, I found the following; Miller was a Balt who commanded White forces around Archangel:
"In 1923 several monarchist emigres (General Pyotr Krasnov, Duke Georg Leuchtenberg) joined to form the "Brotherhood of Russian Truth," which intended to carry terror to the Soviet Union.
They may actually have sent off agents or they may have just collected money from foolish sponsors to support their bar-bills, but branches were alleged to exist in Paris, Berlin, Belgrade, and Harbin."
