the First major victory

When a revolution happened, Chapaev did not immediately become a Bolshevik – first he joined the socialist-revolutionaries, anarchists then, and only then asked to record themselves in the Bolshevik party. By the time when in Nikolaevsk, where Chapaev from the summer of 1917 he served in the reserve regiment, began to form a consolidated division to confront white, Vasily Ivanovich has seriously proved himself as an organizer and commander of the red Army. He, with the support of the local Council of deputies, assumed the command of the regiment, Chapaev was elected the County’s Commissar of internal Affairs.
