The history of the Russo-Turkish relations is coming into prominence in recent years.Especially, the role that Soviet Russia played in the formation of the Rebuplic of Turkey is drawing high attention of Turks and Russians.As known, in 1917, Bolsheviks came to power and began to rebuild Russia within the framework of the communist doctrine.The dominant classes, who held the production means in their hands, were opposed to the Bolshevik power and waged a war, which spread to the territories related to Turkey.Thus, two politically various administrations, the Istanbul government and the Ankara government, pursued a specific policy in Crimea, Caucasus and Turkestan during the Russian Civil War.The aim of our study is to focus on the policy, which was implemented by Turks toward the Bolsheviks from 1918 to 1922.2020.01.005.AIGUL ZINNATNUROVA, M.
