On to Moscow: Bolsheviki morale frays in Siberia
Reports from the Siberian army general staff describe Bolshevik morale breaking as mobilized workers and peasants desert at the first chance. Peasant meetings in Samara call for expelling Bolshevik sympathizers, arming men 18 to 50, and forming detachments. The Nash Put up acknowledges Siberian offensives and an army moving toward the front, while populations greet troops with cheers and the inscription We are going to Moscow on the rail cars. The Moscow Narodny Bank issues 65 million rubles in new stock, with over 60 percent sold, as Siberian branches spread between the Urals and Viadivestock. Zemstvos in Siberia unite into a single organization akin to the former all-Russian Zemstovs union.
