During the Soviet era, Ussuri Bay near Vladivostok served as a dumping site for discarded beer, wine, and vodka bottles, along with porcelain. Over the years, the strong waves of the North Pacific transformed the shattered glass and porcelain into millions of smooth, colorful "pebbles." This once desolate and polluted area is now a popular tourist destination, known as Glass Beach, where visitors from around the globe come to admire its unique beauty.

Likvidatsiia Kolchaka i ego posledyshei [i.e. Liquidation of Kolchak and His Followers] 1928

Publisher notes:

A colorful lithographic map showing how Bolsheviks annexed territory of Siberia, the Far East and Central Asia in 1919-1922, and influenced revolts and strikes in countries of Europe, Asia and Africa at the same time.  Interestingly, the map was compiled together by participants on both sides: Red military officer Alexander de Lazari (1880-1942, executed) and Nikolai Lesevitskii (1879-1951) who served among the Orenburg Cossacks (was on the side of Whites). Surrendered to the enemy in 1919, Lesevitskii stayed alive but was imprisoned at the Novopeskovskii Concentration Camp (Moscow) until 1921. For about 10 years, he became a Soviet journalist and contributed to various military editions. In 1931, he was sentenced to 10 years of camps.  The map was created by artist A. Baranov for a series of posters about history of the Civil War. He colored the territory in Red and White colors, according to the chronicle. He indicated directions of attacks, dates of the war, places where temporary governments were located.    An impressive part of the poster is silhouettes of Red partisans, going across Siberia and heading to the East, and black figures of horseback forces related to the White movement. The map demonstrates where opposition military units (mostly Cossacks) were escaping from Bolsheviks to Persia, Mongolia and Manchuria.  Three riders represent an army of Grigorii Semenov (1890-1946). In June 1917, this Cossack captain was appointed Commissioner of the Provisional Government for the formation of volunteer units from Cossacks, Mongols and Buryats in the Transbaikal region. After the October Revolution, he had permission from the Petrograd Soviet of Worker’ and Soldiers’ Deputies to keep forming his troops. However, Semenov never supported Bolshevism and his army became counter-revolutionary. In November 1917, Semenov had started his revolt and gradually seized control over Verkhneudinsk (now Ulan-Ude), Chita and other settlements. His army did eventually suffer defeat in April 1918 and Semenov was forced to escape abroad. The map shows that he continued anti-Bolshevist actions later: Semenov was appointed commander in chief for the Far Eastern Republic in 1919 and negotiated with allies (Japan, Germany and France) in Beijing in 1922. Temporary governments in Vladivostok are particularly highlighted. For example, one flag indicates the Priamurye Government of Mikhail Diderikhs. Being a general of admiral Alexander Kolchak, Diderikhs commanded the Tobolsk Operation (the last successful attack) and emigrated to Kharbin after Kolchak’s defeat and execution (Feb. 1920). In August 1922, Diderikhs came back to rule the Priamurye Government, one of the last enclaves of the Civil War that existed until October 1922.  The liquidation of Kolchak was implemented by the Political Center, an Irkutsk independent group acting against the Admiral. Later they merged with the Bolsheviks. The map demonstrates the place and two dates: Kolchak was passed on to the Political Center on January 15, 1920 and was shot on February 7, 1920.

(AP)North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Vladivostok, a city in far-eastern Russia close to the Chinese and North Korean borders. He was met by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and viewed aviation equipment and missile systems, state media outlet Tass reported. It is the latest stop on Kim’s trip to the country, which has sparked concern in Washington over a possible arms deal between Moscow and Pyongyang.Russia launched four strikes on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, injuring five people, Ukrainian officials said Saturday.Here’s the latest on the war and its ripple effects across the globe.Two merchant ships approached Ukrainian ports on Saturday, becoming the first civilian vessels to use a temporary shipping corridor in the Black Sea following the collapse of a grain deal with Russia, Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said Saturday. The Palauan-flagged ships – Resilient Africa and Aroyat – are headed to Chornomorsk, where they will load nearly 20,000 tons of wheat for Africa and Asia, Kubrakov said.A Ukrainian minister vowed there would be further attacks on Russian warships. “There will be more drones, more attacks, and fewer Russian ships. That’s for sure,” Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said in an interview with Reuters. According to the British Defense Ministry, an attack on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet earlier this week “almost certainly” caused major damage to a landing ship and submarine at the Sevastopol naval base in occupied Crimea.Poland, Hungary and Slovakia imposed restrictions on Ukrainian grain imports after a European Commission block on shipments entering five bordering E.U. countries expired Friday. Limited access to Black Sea ports during the war has caused a surge in Ukrainian grain passing through neighboring countries, driving down prices and angering local producers. The European Commission said in a statement market distortions have now “disappeared,” but some leaders were not convinced. The restrictions do not apply to the transport of Ukrainian goods through the respective countries.UNESCO added Kyiv’s St. Sophia’s Cathedral and Lviv to its World Heritage in Danger list Friday. The sites face the “risk of direct attack” and are “vulnerable to the shock waves caused by the bombing of the two cities,” the organization said. UNESCO’s list designates 56 sites “in danger,” including the Black Sea port city of Odessa, which was added in January.Poland will ban Russian-registered cars from entering its territory from Sunday, Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski announced Saturday according to Polish news agency PAP. The move comes a day after Finland followed its Baltic neighbors Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in imposing similar restrictions, Finnish media reported. An update to European Commission guidelines has asked member states to stop Russian citizens from bringing cars and other goods into the European Union in an effort to prevent sanction-dodging.Russia is likely to use stockpiled air-launched cruise missiles to strike Ukrainian infrastructure this winter, according to the British Defense Ministry’s latest intelligence update. On Saturday, the ministry wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that such missiles were “at the heart of most” of Russia’s long-range strikes against Ukrainian energy facilities last winter.Russia denied that Ukrainian forces had recaptured Andriivka, a Russian-held village near Bakhmut. In his nightly address Friday, Zelensky said Ukraine had retaken the village in what he called a “significant and much-needed result.” The Russian Defense Ministry said Saturday that Ukraine was “unsuccessfully trying to oust Russian troops.”Russian-installed authorities in Crimea plan to sell around 100 properties there, including an apartment belonging to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to an announcement Saturday. Volodymyr Konstantinov, the speaker of Crimea’s parliament, wrote on Telegram that eight auctions had already been concluded, generating around $8.8 million. The other sales will take place soon, he added. Russia illegally annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.Two women were taken to hospital after a strike on the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, a regional military official said Saturday. In a message posted on Telegram on Saturday morning, Yuriy Malashko said Russia had carried out 54 strikes on the region in the past 24 hours.The U.S. ambassador to Russia, Lynne M. Tracy, visited detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich at the Lefortovo pretrial detention center in Moscow, where the American reporter has been held for months on espionage charges that the United States says are politically motivated. “He remains strong and is keeping up with the news,” the U.S. Embassy in Moscow wrote on social media.Tens of thousands of Jewish pilgrims have gathered in central Ukraine to mark the Jewish new year, Rosh Hashanah, which began on Friday evening. Cherkasy regional Gov. Ihor Taburets wrote on Telegram on Thursday morning that about 22,000 pilgrims had already arrived in Uman — a significant city for the Hasidic community. Most of the arrivals were from Israel, the United States and a number of European countries, he said, adding that security had been tightened.Zelensky is expected to make a trip to Washington next week, which would be his second since the war began last year, The Washington Post reported. The visit was coordinated with the Biden administration amid efforts to push Congress to provide $24 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, and comes as tensions grow over support for Ukraine within the Republican Party and among a small number of Democrats. Zelensky is “very much abreast” of the debate in Washington, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters.Britain officially banned Russia’s Wagner Group and designated it a terrorist organization, making support for the group punishable by up to 14 years in jail, according to a statement from the government. The ban, which was approved Friday, comes weeks after group leader Yevgeniy Prigozhin died in a plane crash and months after his short-lived mutiny.Shuffle of Russian military chiefs preceded death of Wagner boss Prigozhin: Dismissals and disappearances of regular Russian military commanders and the death of Wagner head Prigozhin highlight how Putin lacks trust in his military leadership, analysts say. Fearing betrayal, the Russian leader has prioritized loyalty over competence, and he has tolerated infighting that has degraded his war machine, Francesca Ebel writes.“The army has degenerated organizationally, intellectually and technically,” Pavel Luzin, an expert on the Russian military and a senior fellow at the Jamestown Foundation who is based in the United States, told The Post.

Yulia Boiko, the widow of the deputy head of Russia’s Pacific Higher Naval School, Colonel Vadim Boiko, has written an open letter to Vladimir Putin asking the president to oversee the investigation into her husband’s death, which media outlets have described as a suicide.

The letter is dated November 20, though it didn’t appear in local news reports until November 28. Yulia Boiko confirmed its authenticity to the Telegram channel Baza.

According to Yulia Boiko’s letter, a mobilization station was set up at the military academy where her husband worked on September 16. Colonel Boiko, she wrote, was put in charge of accepting, accommodating, and supervising draftees. She said that from that time on, he stopped sleeping at home almost completely, and that he tried to solve the various problems associated with mobilization, but that he received no support from his superiors. Eventually, the widow wrote, Vadim Boiko realized that his bosses were “trying to place the blame for all of the failures and shortcomings” of the mobilization process on him.

Later, Vadim Boiko was sent to a training site in the village of Sergeyevka in Primorsky Krai, where, according to his widow, he was put in charge of repairing military equipment to be sent to the combat zone, as well as training newly mobilized soldiers. Yulia Boiko claimed her husband ran into difficulties because “it’s not possible to fulfill combat missions with that kind of equipment,” but that the head of the school, Oleg Zhuravlev, didn’t provide any assistance. She wrote that her husband suffered from insomnia for about a month and lost 15 kilograms (about 33 pounds) in that time.

On November 14, says Yulia Boiko, representatives from a commission in Khabarovsk came to the training center to investigate draftees’ complaints. According to the letter, the head of the school, Admiral Zhuravlev, “showed a masterful ability to camouflage” and went to the hospital while her husband was informed that he was facing criminal liability.

“The inspectors had already openly informed Colonel Boiko that he would face more than 100 million rubles (about $1.6 million) in debt for the loss and damage of state property and would be held criminally responsible with confiscation of property,” Yulia Boiko wrote in her letter to Putin.

She also disclosed some of the circumstances of her husband’s death. According to the widow, Vadik Boiko left the training center and traveled back to the Pacific Higher Naval School in Vladivostok, where he went to his boss’s office. “Yes, he [went] to his [boss’s] office, not to his own, as a lot of social media pages are writing. He sat in his chair and fired five bullets at himself from his service weapon, and he didn’t aim at his head — he didn’t pursue the goal of ending things as soon as possible,” she wrote.

If this tragic death happened at Boiko’s own hand, which the investigation still has yet to determine, then it’s probably the first case of this kind of suicide in Russia — self-execution by firing squad. [If that’s the case,] he clearly wanted to attract the attention of the Russian authorities and signal to them that there’s trouble, that something needs to be done, and that the Motherland is in danger.

Vadim Boiko’s body was found with multiple gunshot wounds on November 16 at the Pacific Higher Naval School. Baza reported that five gunshots were heard that morning in Boiko’s office. The outlet confirmed that five shell casings and four pistols belonging to Makarov were found at the scene of the incident. Russian law enforcement has not commented on Boiko’s death.
