Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of certain aspects of the history of the Civil War in Russia, including here the mass popular movements of the opponents of Soviet power. One of these movements was the performance of the Blue Army in the South Urals. This movement is interesting from the point of view of the study of folk beliefs due to the pronounced color symbolism.
