11th Army (RSFSR)

Since the Russian Republic's Caucasus Front (April 1917 - March 1918) dissolved, it did not have a true successor organization.

[2] According to Peter Kenez, "The raging typhus epidemics greatly contributed to the misery of the soldiers; during the winter of 1918-1919 fifty thousand men became ill.

Taking advantage of its quarrels with neighboring Armenia, the 11th Army had little difficulty in initially sovietizing Azerbaijan.

[4] For the time being, however, the authorities in Moscow ordered the army to stand down while negotiations between Russia and Armenia were being carried out.

"[6] In May 1921 the army lost its name and was integrated into the Caucasian Front, later part of the North Caucasus Military District.
