This captivating book delves into the intricate and pivotal relationship between Soviet Russia (USSR) and Britain during a critical period of their formation, spanning from 1917 to 1924. Through the meticulous analysis of previously unseen archival records and memoirs penned by statesmen, diplomats, and military commanders who were directly involved in the events, Evgeny Sergeev has painstakingly reconstructed the dynamics of the interaction between Moscow and London. In addition to unveiling the truth behind the common myths and stereotypes associated with this era, Sergeev sheds light on the most contentious issues, which form the central focus of this study. These include Britain's involvement in the Entente-led armed intervention against the Bolshevik regime, as well as a series of reciprocal attempts to avoid political controversies. Furthermore, London's significant contributions to humanitarian aid and the economic recovery of post-revolutionary Russia are explored in depth.

Special attention is given to the profound impact of British diplomacy on the recognition of the USSR by other great powers such as France, Italy, and Japan in the mid-1920s. This comprehensive work not only provides a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between these two nations but also sheds valuable light on the broader geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century.
