may 20, 1919 - Maria Nikiforova (Marusya) takes some kontrraz "specialists" to end Civil War with surgical strikes
Description:
On the other hand, the outside "specialists”, the highly professional
terrorists and expropriators, joined the re-organized detachment of
M. Nikiforova which had a complement of 60 militants. This detach-
ment set itself the task of ending the Civil War by surgical strikes
against the headquarters of the White armies. For this purpose, one group of 20 led by Nikiforova set out
for Rostov to blow up Denikin's staff.
A second group of 15 under Chernyak
and Gromov headed for Siberia to liq-
uidate Kolchak's staff. The third
group
of 25 lead by Kovalevich, Sobolev, and
Glazgon, left for Kharkov to free the staff
of the Makhnovist Division and, in case
that wasn't possble, to blow up the Cheka
headquarters.
