Siberian Intervention
The government had its origin in a White Army coup in Vladivostok and its environs whose aim was to break away from the Far Eastern Republic, surviving behind a "cordon sanitaire" of Japanese troops involved in the Siberian Intervention. The coup was started on May 23 1922 by the "Kappelevtsy", the remnants of Vladimir Kappel's People's Army of Komuch.
