Grozni.—An arrival from this town and who left it on November 11th
states that the oil fields, formerly employing 7,000 people, now give occupation
to some 500 only. Consequently, most of the plant concerned in the industrv
is now idle. Great numbers of refugees from the north are congregated in and
near the town and are kept moving on towards Baku. The deaths from
typhus reach double, even treble, figures daily.
Shkorov, a Cossack leader once under Denikin, is commanding an anti-
Boisheyik band in the vicinity of Pyatigorsk. The narrator estimates this
band at o,000 but it is doubtful if any insurgent could maintain these numbers
during the present scarcity. ^
t,. .Ifi ere is another rebel band operating at Sepsobski, while a General
Eielikov with 30,000 Cossacks is defying the Bolsheviks at Kizlar. These
numbers are also grossly exaggerated in all likelihood.

daily. The military commander is Ikalov, a Russian Garrison about 2,000
About this item
- Content
The item consists of Part 1 of the subject file 1341/1921: 'Meshed Consular & Intelligence Diaries (1921-1922)'.
It contains numbered periodical (mainly weekly) reports relating to Persia [Iran], initially each called an 'Intelligence Summary' and later called a 'Meshed Intelligence Diary'. The reports cover the period of the week ending 1 January 1921 to the period ending 1 January 1923. They are initially issued by the British Military Mission, Meshed [Mashhad, also known as Mashad or Meshad], and later by the Military Attaché, Meshed. The intelligence summaries, and diaries, relate to political, foreign, military and diplomatic affairs in the locality and the neighbouring regions and are variously arranged under (chiefly) the following headings: 'Khorasan and North-East Persia'; 'Herat and Afghanistan'; 'Russian Turkistan'; 'Khorasan'; 'Cis-Frontier'; 'Trans-Frontier'; 'Afghanistan'; 'Bolshevik Garrisons'; 'Local'; 'Transcaspia'; 'Bokhara'; 'Tashkent'; 'Central Russia'; 'Khiva'; 'Ferghana'; 'General'; and 'Samarkand'. The summaries often include appendices which are usually extracts of local and national newspapers published in the regions and countries of interest, including Nabat , Rosta , Izvestia , Ittifaq-i-Islam , Bednota, Prolitarii , Sharq-i-Iran, and Pravda . Other appendices contain details of Bolshevik Garrisons in the region.
