Note 12 — Chapter XIII · THE JACKALS
G. G. (Georgii Gustavovich) Tel'berg translation
Admiral Kolchak was surrendered by the Czechs to the Reds at Irkutsk while he was travelling eastward in February, 1920, under the protection of the Allied flags. The order to surrender him was countersigned by the Czech “commander-in-chief”, General Janin. Admiral Kolchak was shot soon afterward in a peculiarly cruel manner.
