Petr Nikolaevich Wrangel


Black Baron Wrangel

  • He received the nickname “Black Baron” for his traditional everyday dress - a black Cossack Circassian coat with gazyrs.


P.N. Wrangel:

  • With the support of the head of the Government of the South of Russia, the prominent economist and reformer A.V. Krivoshein, developed a number of legislative acts on agrarian reform. The basis of his land policy was the provision that most of the land belonged to peasants.

  • He advocated a federal structure for the future Russia. He was inclined to recognize the political independence of Ukraine.


  • Wrangel, trying to win over the Cossacks, approved a new provision of autonomy for the Cossack lands. Workers were promised new factory legislation that would protect their rights

  • At the last stage of the existence of the Volunteer Army, an attempt was made to rethink the ideology and politics of the white movement. This attempt was made by General Wrangel, who at the beginning of April 1920 was elected commander-in-chief and evacuated troops to Crimea.


Wrangel's policy in Crimea

  • He recognized the legal seizure of landowners' lands by peasants in the first years after the revolution. Despite all the progressive measures, the whites in the person of the commander-in-chief did not gain the trust of the population, and the material and human resources of Crimea were depleted.

  • During six months of 1920, P. N. Wrangel, Ruler of the South of Russia and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army, tried to take into account the mistakes of his predecessors, boldly made previously unthinkable compromises, and tried to win over various segments of the population to his side.
