An important member of the White Terror was Lavr Kornilov. During the Ice March in the south of Russia, Kornilov said: "I give you a very cruel order: do not take prisoners! I accept responsibility for this order before God and the Russian people." He promised, "The greater the terror, the greater our victories." He vowed that, "We must save Russia, even if we have to set fire to half the country and shed the blood of three-fourths of all Russians." On another occasion, however, Kornilov said that prisoners should be taken care of, saying, "We do not make war against the wounded."
