The uprising, in which about 10 thousand people took part [2] , was caused by the rejection on the part of the prosperous peasants of the Lebanese district of the policy of war communism and the surplus development carried out by the Bolsheviks, and by the intelligentsia and aristocracy - the complete transfer of power in the county into the hands of the Bolsheviks. The culmination of the peasant uprising was the seizure by the rebels of the city of Livny , which, however, remained with them for less than two days. The uprising was crushed by reinforcements sent from Orel [3] .

Evaluation and memory
In Soviet historiography, it was customary to characterize the Lebanese uprising as “kulak,” “counter-revolutionary,” “Social Revolutionary,” and even “White Guard,” despite the fact that the bulk of the rebels were middle peasants, including former front-line soldiers and part of the peasant poor , and all the officers involved in the armed uprising, just came from Lievensky district, and had nothing to do with the White movement [4] .
To date, the only creative field in which there are works dedicated to the Lebanese uprising is literature. The first who decided to write a work of art dedicated to the events of 1918 was Savely Leonov, a native of the Lebanese village. He began working on the manuscript of the future novel back in the 1930s , when many episodes and protagonists were still preserved in the memory of participants and eyewitnesses of those events. This work, which was called "Youth", was published in 1948 by the publishing house "Young Guard" . The author did not mention the names of the real participants in the uprising, but many of them, by his own admission, became prototypes for the characters of the novel. Local historians often wrote about the Libyan rebellion. So, from the Lebanese local historians, in addition to Oleg Yakubson , Sergey Volkov described the course of the uprising and the reaction of the central government in his book “Livny” [5] (1959), and Gennady Ryzhkin managed to reproduce the chronology of events and examined them from the perspective of the current time in the work "Generation" (1991). The Oryol local historian Vasily Katanov spoke about him in the essays “Oryol were” (1993) [4] .
Materials about the Libyan uprising are stored in the Liven Museum of Local Lore .
