Письмо самарского «консула» премьер-министру Франции о событиях Гражданской войны: долг гражданина и личный интерес

Abstract

The letter by French “consul” Jeannot proposed to the reader highlights the participation of French military and diplomatic representatives in the Civil War in the Volga Region in 1918. Soviet historiography considers Jeannot one of the key figures who caused the situation in the Czechoslovak Corps in the spring of 1918 to destabilise; however, information about him is scarce. This letter highlights the role of Jeannot in events related to the mutiny of the Czechoslovak legion and demonstrates his motivation and understanding of events in Russia between 1914 and 1918. The letter dates from September 1919 and is addressed to Georges Clemenceau, president of the Council of Ministers of France. According to the document, Jeannot wanted compensation for the financial costs that he had incurred during his mission in Russia and aspired to demonstrate his usefulness and competence in the “Russian question” to the officials of the Third Republic. The document touches upon the financial side of French anti-Soviet actions in the Volga Region and French speculation in the Russian domestic market in 1918. Jeannot’s letter is kept in the fund of the Second Bureau of the General Staff of France of the Historical Service of the French Ministry of Defense (Service Historique de la Défense).

Письмо французского «консула» Жанно освещает проблему участия военных и дипломатических представителей Франции в событиях Гражданской войны в русском Поволжье в 1918 г. Хотя фигура Жанно рассматривается исследователями в качестве одной из ключевых, оказавших влияние на дестабилизацию обстановки в Чехословацком корпусе весной 1918 г., его личность остается малоизученной. Письмо, датированное сентябрем 1919 г., раскрывает роль «консула» Жанно в событиях, связанных с выступлением Чехословацкого корпуса, и демонстрирует его личную мотивацию и понимание происходившего в России. Адресатом послания является премьер-министр Франции Жорж Клемансо: по всей видимости, Л. Жанно стремился как компенсировать финансовые издержки, которые он понес в ходе миссии в России, так и продемонстрировать одному из первых лиц Третьей Республики свою полезность, возможность «вернуться в строй». В документе затронуты сюжеты, связанные с финансированием французских антисоветских акций в Поволжье, спекуляции французов на русском внутреннем рынке в 1918 г. Публикуемый впервые документ содержится в фонде 2 Бюро Генштаба Франции (7N) Исторической службы Министерства обороны Франции (Service historique de la Défense).
