1920 Capture of Perekop by the Red Army
95 years ago, on November 9, 1920, the troops of the Soviet Southern Front under the command of Mikhail Frunze, who launched an offensive on November 7, broke through the fortified positions of the Whites on the Perekop and Chongar isthmuses and broke into the Crimea. Baron Pyotr Wrangel, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, which was four times inferior to the enemy in terms of numbers, decided to evacuate troops and refugees from the Crimean peninsula.
