British Intelligence Services and Discussions around the Creation of an Anti-Bolshevik Coalition in 1918-1919

Based on the analysis of British government documents, a complex of interdepartmental contradictions in the process of searching for allies in the anti-Bolshevik bloc and interaction with them is reconstructed. According to the author, one of the factors changing the British political course in 1918-1919 was a change of the role of intelligence and counterintelligence in the system of foreign policy decision making.
