Abstract
The article throws light on the ups and downs of the lawyer V.P. Lamansky’s life during the Civil War in Siberia. His vicissitudes were due to the fact that at the beginning of 1918 by order of the Anti-Bolshevik underground organization this young man worked in the Soviet judicial bodies for counterrevolutionary purposes. After the overthrow of the Soviet power in Siberia he faithfully served in the Anti-Bolshevik administration of the Kansk uyezd. However, the attitude of the Kolchack’s authorities (especially of the military circles) to Lamansky made him play a tragic role of being “a foe among friends”.
