Russian political meeting and the "Polish issue" at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919

The article studies the position of the White Guard Russian meeting in Paris to resolve the financial and territorial problems with Poland at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. We tend to include this problem in a historical context, relate the views of the White movement representatives to the Polish delegation requirements and the Peace Conference point of view.
