Zinevich began by telegraph to negotiate an armistice with the Reds and demanded the same from the retreating white troops under the command of V.O. Kappel . According to the memoirs of P. P. Petrov [3] :
| General Zinevich still continued naive talk about the possibility of liquidating the White movement peacefully, well ... by subordinating the new government, convening the “Zemsky Sobor”, etc. It seems to be the last one by telegraph conversation that I was present. Zinevich spoke from Krasnoyarsk, but apparently not alone, because there was a discord. At first, there was persuasion about stopping the shedding of blood, about subjugation of the new people's power, which de made guarantees from the Soviet government, then there were threats of non-admission, then a request for Kappel’s personal visit for negotiations. He was told: offer to surrender directly to the Soviet regime - this will be understandable, otherwise you will babble some naivety about intermediate power, democratic, guarantees, etc. In the end, it was stated that the proposals would be discussed in cash by senior bosses. Of course, we did not have disagreements on this issue; the question was, of course, about the subordination of Soviet power. It was decided to hurry to Krasnoyarsk in order to force the skipping retreats to pass. |
