На основе впервые вводимых в научный оборот архивных документов фондов Центрального архива службы внешней разведки РФ рассматривается организационная и политическая деятельность одного из лидеров белой эмиграции на Дальнем Востоке - генерала Ф.Л. Глебова. Анализируемые документы показывают, что жизнь белой гвардии и казаков в эмиграции превратилась в выживание и борьбу за существование, а конечный результат их деятельности оказался ничтожным и напрасным. Делается вывод, что белая эмиграция была далеко не единой во взглядах и действиях по отношению к советской власти в России. При более гибкой политике Советского государства ее антисоветская деятельность могла быть значительно минимизирована.

The article, based on the first introduced archive documents of the Central Archive of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, analyzes the organizational and political activities of one of the leaders of the White emigres in the Far East, General F.L. Glebov in the 1920s. The documents show quite a mosaic picture of the mood of the White Guard emigration, from the desire to return to the Soviet Union and to honestly work to prove loyalty to the homeland to hatred and the desire to re-start a civil war in order to implement their own political ambitions. The latter was the mood of General Glebov. The documents describe his good organizational skills, his concern for his subordinates, even some austerity of his personal residence. Incoming information from the agents of the Soviet intelligence on Glebov's "luxurious life" was rather political in nature, as the only confirmation of such information was the fact that he did not stay with his group on board a ship but ashore. However, his organizational work was carried out without taking into account the political realities of the time. All his activities were subject to only one direction: organizing provocations against the USSR. To achieve this goal, he creates the Council of Atamans of Military Cossack Troops. To promote monarchist views, he organizes his own newspaper. At the same time he did not care to associate with anyone - Japan, Britain, the Chinese extremists. Indiscriminate means and methods to achieve goals met disapproval even in the White emigre circles in the Far East. Various Cossack groups in Harbin, Shanghai and other Chinese cities refused to cooperate with him. In the end, he was even suspended from command of the troops. There is evidence of the rapid degradation of General Glebov's activities - from bombastic ideas on restoring monarchy in Russia and attempts of the deployment of mass guerrilla movement in the Far East to gang robberies of local population in border areas. This activity became so notorious that it was condemned not only by the white emigration, but also by the world community. Any contact with Glebov was treated as a frankly unfriendly act against the USSR. Even the Government of Japan and England no longer cooperated with General Glebov, despite his promise to organize major provocations against the USSR. The documents clearly show that the organizational activities of General Glebov against the Soviet power proved to be ineffective and futile. However, General's ambitions involved hundreds and thousands of exiles. With a more flexible policy of the Soviet state, the anti-Soviet activities of the white emigration in the Far East could be greatly minimized.
