From mid-August 1914 the Russian press (newspapers «Russkoe Slovo», «Russkie Vedomosti», «Novoe Vremya» and others) began to pay greatest attention to Germany's political history, sources of German militarism, ethnic and even anthropological genesis of the German people. These discussions revealed serious discrepancies between the liberal and nationalistic press, but the Kaiser and his «clique» still appeared the adepts and instigators of «Germanism», «Prussianness» and «German beastly spirit».

Introduction. The review is devoted to modern foreign literature on the military intervention of the Entente powers and their allies in Russia in 1918–1922. The centenary of the Russian Civil War is a suitable occasion to characterize the modern historiography of intervention and the prospects for its research. Methods and materials. In the analysis of the literature, historical-genetic, historical-typological and historical-comparative methods were used. Analysis. The centenary of the Civil War in Russia passes almost unnoticed in foreign historiography, which is also due to the shift of attention to the Russian revolution. The Russian Civil War is often considered as an integral part of the revolutionary era, so its research in recent years has not gone beyond the generalizing works on the history of the revolution. The intervention is in a more advantageous position, since the military personnel of the United States, Great Britain, France, Japan, Canada, and Australia participated in it. Accordingly, the interest of researchers from these countries remains. Nevertheless, despite the "anniversaries" of the landings of Allied troops in Arkhangelsk, Transcaucasia and Vladivostok, operations in the Baltic and Siberia, only a small number of monographs and articles were published. A certain surge of interest is visible in popular science books about the operations of British and American troops in the North of Russia, but their authors used a small number of sources and did not present fundamentally new conclusions. Results. The "jubilee" historiography of the intervention is quite modest, but the topic of intervention has prospects due to numerous "white spots", a lot of unexplored sources. The topic of foreign interventions remains relevant for the modern world.
