Krassnov's detachment withdrew to Gatchinsk, and when we started out thither the next day, Krassnov's staff were already virtually prisoners of the Cossacks themselves. Our Gatchinsk garrison was holding all the most important military positions. The Cossacks, on the other hand, though not yet disarmed, were absolutely in no position for further resistance.
They wanted but one thing: to be allowed as soon as possible to return to the Don region or, at least, back to the front. The Gatchinsk Palace presented a curious sight. At every entrance stood a special guard, while at the gates were artillery and armored cars. Sailors, soldiers and Red Guards occupied the royal apartments, decorated with precious paintings.
I believe that he cannot have escaped from Gatchinsk and must now be in hiding here somewhere. Commanding the 3rd Corps, Major-General Krassnov. Thus ended this undertaking. Our opponents still would not yield, however, and did not admit that the question of government power was settled. They continued to base their hopes on the front.
The old army committees had lost all their significance, and intensive work was going on at the front in connection with the conferences and councils called for the purpose of reorganizing all army organizations. In these re-elections the Soviet Government was everywhere victorious. From Gatchinsk, our divisions proceeded along the railroad further in the direction of the Luga River and Pskov.
