The French army and intervention in Southern Russia, 1918-1919 - Persée
by J. Kim Munholland
Allied intervention in the Russian Revolution and civil war continues to fascinate historians and to provoke lively controversy over Allied policy. One episode of the intervention that has been vigorously criticized from diverse viewpoints was the French decision to send an Allied military force into the Ukraine and the Crimea during the winter and spring of 1918-1919. While differing in their explanations, western and Soviet historians are virtually unanimous in describing the French intervention in Southern Russia as a failure.
