White General Vasily Georgievich Boldyrev is a bright figure. An ardent fighter against the Bolsheviks, he suddenly changed his beliefs and stayed in Red Russia instead of emigrating. And even came up with a new biography.
General, son of a blacksmith
Vasily Boldyrev was born in 1875 in the family of a blacksmith in Syzran. Until the age of 15, he worked in his father's forge, then entered the Penza Land Surveying School, then - at the Military Topographic School in St. Petersburg. I made my way upstairs.
At the age of 28 he graduated from the Academy of the General Staff in the first category, in 1904 he fought with the Japanese as part of the headquarters of the 22nd Infantry Division. The soldier did not sit behind his back, he was awarded a medal.
In 1911 he returned to the academy to teach. In 1914 he defended his thesis on the topic "Attack of Fortified Positions", and became a professor.
World War I
With the outbreak of World War I, Boldyrev returned to the active army. He was appointed chief of staff of the 2nd Guards Infantry Division. He was awarded the St. George weapon for the battles near Ivangorod, the Order of St. George IV degree for the defense of Osovets. He received the rank of major general after the defeat of the Austrian corps near Krasniki. Later he was appointed general for assignments under the commander of the 4th Army, and from August 1916 he became quartermaster general of the headquarters of the Northern Front.
The abdication of Nicholas II took place in front of the general. Two telegrams of the emperor were kept by Boldyrev for a long time.
Soon the collapse of the army became obvious: the Russians surrendered Riga, losing 25,000 people killed and 15,000 prisoners.
Revolution
During the October coup, Lieutenant General Boldyrev commanded the 5th Army. He refused to follow the orders of the Bolsheviks, and was arrested by the new "supreme commander" ensign Krylenko. For disobeying orders, Boldyrev was sentenced to three years in prison and kept in the Peter and Paul Fortress.
He returned from prison on March 2, 1918, completely gray-haired. Perhaps Boldyrev's closeness to the Socialist-Revolutionaries played a role in his release.
Boldyrev became one of the organizers of the "Union of the Revival of Russia", which included the Cadets, moderate socialist-revolutionaries, the military and the intelligentsia. He was a member of the "National Center", which included representatives of the tsarist bureaucracy, industrialists and landowners.
The general called the Soviet government "a red nightmare that crushes and strangles the Motherland."
In Siberia
Having grown a beard and dressed in a soldier's overcoat, in the autumn of 1918 Boldyrev arrived in Ufa, where he became a member of the Directory and was appointed Commander-in-Chief. He hoped for a revival of the army and introduced strict discipline. Under him, the army wore shoulder straps, not sleeve chevrons, there were no conflicts between military leaders. New military talents flashed, such as Dutov, Kappel, Bangersky, Stark.
Soon Vice-Admiral Alexander Kolchak arrived in Omsk. Boldyrev was the first to receive the admiral and offered the post of military and naval minister.
During the military coup, when the Directory was arrested, and the Council of Ministers elected Kolchak as the Supreme Ruler of Russia, Boldyrev was in Ufa. If he had been in Omsk, history could have taken a different path, because some of the officers supported the general, and he had every chance of becoming the ruler.
Boldyrev himself was outraged by the coup, considering the power of the Directory to be legitimate, and the coup as the liquidation of the anti-Bolshevik coalition.
He was afraid of arrest, officers loyal to him were preparing to repulse the Kolchakites. But that did not happen. At a meeting with Kolchak, Boldyrev told the admiral: "You signed someone else's bill, and even a fake one, paying for it can ruin not only you, but also the business started in Siberia."
In the East
After the coup, Boldyrev went to Japan, to Tokyo, where he stayed until January 1920. There he studied the organization of military affairs, wrote the works "Brief Considerations on the Fight against Bolshevism in Russia", "The Civil War and Its Consequences", corresponded with Kolchak, urging him to cooperate with the interventionists.
It would seem that this is where he will stay. But it was not there.
January 16, 1920 Boldyrev arrived in Vladivostok. Two weeks after another coup, he became Commander-in-Chief in the semi-Bolshevik Primorsky Regional Zemstvo Council. Collaborated with Lazo, headed the commission to disband the army, negotiated with the Kappelites.
When the Japanese occupied Vladivostok, Boldyrev's troops laid down their arms, and the revolutionaries Lazo and Lutsky were shot.
Nobody touched Boldyrev.
With the advent of the Japanese, the merchants Spiridon and Nikolai Merkulov came to power. The White Rebel Army appeared again, and Boldyrev became the chairman of the Russian-Japanese Conciliation Commission, a member of the presidium and a friend of the Chairman of the People's Assembly.
Mysterious biography
On October 26, 1922, the Reds entered Vladivostok. Boldyrev, instead of leaving for Japan, stayed in the city and was arrested
After six months of imprisonment, he petitioned for pardon and even asked for service. He composed a mysterious biography for himself, in which he indicated that in 1905 he allegedly participated in expeditions in the Yakutsk region, carried out revolutionary work, for which he was arrested and spent 8 months in prison. He spoke about his participation in the Shantar expedition in 1910, about a new arrest in Yakutsk and about transfer to Petrograd.
What was it? An exposition of a preconceived legend? Or did the general just want to avoid the fate of Kolchak? Or maybe there are really a lot of unknown things in Boldyrev's biography? Mystery.
The general always wrote a lot of negative things about the Bolsheviks. It is impossible to believe in his "reforging". The desire to remain in Russia could only be caused by the continuation of the struggle against Bolshevism. A petition and a false biography were supposed to lull the vigilance of the Chekists. Most likely, the general was preparing to fight. He was going to lead the fight against communism at home.
The Bolsheviks released the general, and he got a job in the Siberian Planning Commission. Lived in Novosibirsk. He was in correspondence with a family that lived in Serbia. He was a witness in the case of Ataman Annenkov, who was kidnapped by Chekists from China.
In 1930, Boldyrev was arrested again and this time they were not released. On August 22, 1933, the general was shot "for counter-revolutionary activities."
