Support for Kornilov?

[edit]

I was just in a class with Dr. Deborah Field and it was mentioned that this division had some support for the Kornilov affair, I did not want to make a change without the source. Although it was referred to as the "violent division" and it was mentioned that the soldiers who supported him were from the caucuses.

I would greatly appreciate if you could find a reliable source for those claims. All statements need to be backed by reliable sources, a statement being true is not enough for inclusion.

I will email my professor for a source on this topic --- I assume there is something from her colleague Dr Kivelson --- theoretically if the lecture was public could I use that at a source? Regardless, I will look for a written source 35.2.147.173 (talk) 16:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If there is a video recording or a written transcript of it published somewhere then you can use it as a source.--Catlemur (talk) 18:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(page 246) mentions them as violently reactionary and supportive of the affair UNTIL they were told that the Soviets were not going to overthrow the government. 35.2.147.173 (talk) 00:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and edited it. Let me know if it is sufficient 35.2.147.173 (talk) 01:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
