Dorothy & Lillian Gish, D.W. Griffith, 3/27/22
On this day in 1922, the Yakut People's Army took Yakutsk in eastern Siberia. They were led by White General, formerly Imperial Cornet, Mikhail Yakovlevich Korobeinkov. His success was short-lived, and he's soon retreat to China, where he died two years later.
The Yakut Revolt was the last chapter, practically an epilogue, in the history of the Russian Civil War. The Yakut people, a native people of Siberia, would endure years of repression at the hands of the Soviets.
