Boris Sokolov: Baron Ungern the Black Horseman
Baron Ungern, a hero, a knight, who freed Mongolia from the Chinese occupier, who fought bravely with the Bolsheviks and who was not afraid to raise the banner of the restoration of the monarchy, not only in Russia but throughout the world, and to penetrate the Soviet territory with that flag. For others, Ungern is the creator of the "Eurasian idea", the author of a bold project of the rebirth of the medieval empire of Genghis Khan... But there is another tradition in the understanding of Ungern's personality, and it is characterized by expressions such as "black baron", "bloody baron" and "mad baron"...
