Abstract

The author of the article proposes a new interpretation of the plot related to the fall of the Baku Commune and the demise of its leaders, based on previously unknown or closed materials of Russian and British archives, as well as diaries and memoirs of participants of events. The main attention is paid to the impact of the tragic episode of the Civil War and foreign intervention on the development of Soviet-British relations during the first decade of the Bolshevik regime in Soviet Russia.
