Abstract
The author dwells on analysis of the forms and methods used by the Soviet governmental bodies for suppression of Western-Siberian mutiny, in 1921. He concludes that for liquidation of this revolt the whole arsenal of means (which the Soviet power had at its disposal) was used. However, for the whole period of the struggle, military and punitive measures remained those often used to the detriment of the political ones. The choice of mostly power variant of liquidation of Western-Siberian mutiny resulted in surplus death of several thousands of Siberians.
