At the time of the first intervention
in Russia by thercapitalist countries,
the workers and peasants OF Soviet
Russia forced the United States gov
eminent to withdraw its troops from
Archangel. On the French fleet In the
Black Se& the sailors raised the Red
flag, and refused to fight the workers
of Russia.
The allies. in league with the car
lists, were forced to retreat. Wrangels
army fled to Constantinople, and from
there scattered thru the Balkan states.
Since that time Wrangel's troop have
fought against the workers, led by the
Communists and side by side with the
fascist and imperialist troops in the
Balkan states. g. Atlih
