History

The troops of the Crimean Soviet Army fought in the Crimea against the Armed Forces of South Russia, in the area of Polohy - Berdyansk - Melitopol in the Northern Taurida. The White Guards managed to hang on to the Kerch Peninsula, defending a front on the Aqmanai isthmus.

In May–June the Crimean Army took part in the suppression of the Grigoriev uprising.

In mid-June 1919, under the pressure of the White Army advance, the entire Red Army was forced out of the Crimea.
