metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In this article, on the basis of numerous archival documents and unpublished memoirs, a situation is
  shown in which the “non-belligerent” population of the Arkhangelsk province turned out to be. Their settlements
  during the civil war passed from one army to another, and both these armies were perceived by the population
  as “strangers”. The European North of Russia is a vast but sparsely populated area with a poorly regulated transport
  system. This created difficulties for the two opposing armies (White and Red) both in terms of insufficient
  mobilization resources, and in relation to providing armies. The local population engaged in crafts, went to work
  in cities. These opportunities were lost during the war. At the same time, the own agriculture did not provide even
  the population itself, and in the conditions of widespread military operations it was necessary to provide the soldiers
  with food and transportation. The ideology was an important part of the armed civil confrontation, therefore
  neither of these armies used rigid measures of coercion against the local population. Moreover, it was in the
  interests of the armies to help the population, which was primarily practiced by the Whites. At the same time, the
  fighting that was conducted by small mobile detachments did not allow timely supply of soldiers with food, warm
  clothes. All this was requisitioned from peasants and residents of small towns. The population, especially remote and small villages, feared such “raids” of soldiers. It created “self-defense units”, which gave a special flavor to the
  civil war. The population could not provide food for their “partisans”, and they entered the service in the army that
  controlled their village. With the retreat or offensive of the army, such “guerrillas” went into the woods and poured
  into another army that occupied their villages. The article focuses on the relationship between the non-belligerent
  population and the soldiers who came to their land, examines the forms of adaptation of the population to new
  living conditions.
