Battle of Verny (14 févr. 1918 – 20 mai 1918)

Description:

In February 1918, immediately after the declaration of Soviet rule in Vernyi district, the Cossack population living in the vicinity of Vernyi took up arms against the Bolsheviks, who had come to power in the town. The Cossack uprising was supported by the inhabitants of Taranchi villages, of which the closest to Vernyi was the village of Janashar. [...] When the Vernyi Bolsheviks found themselves facing a prolonged siege by the armed forces of the Cossacks and their Taranchi supporters, they turned to Tashkent for military assistance, which the latter agreed to provide. To suppress the Cossack revolt, a brigade was established under the command of Mitrofan Muraev. [...] On 20 May, Muraev’s brigade took Vernyi, lifting the siege and forcing the Cossacks to retreat in the direction of China. Collapsing p245
