| Comments |
The Special Corps of the Northern Army under General Alexander Rodzianko was one of several White forces operating in the northwestern theater against Bolshevik lines during 1919. This issue was a field necessity — regular currency had collapsed in the region and troop payments required something, anything, with nominal authority behind it. Rodzianko's corps was perpetually under-resourced, dependent on British logistical support, and effectively dissolved by early 1920 after the failure to hold Petrograd.
