Military Town, Novosibirsk

The Military Town (Russian: Военный городок) is a building complex in Oktyabrsky District of Novosibirsk, Russia.

In June 1910, the newspaper Obskaya Zhizn wrote about the large number of workers involved in the construction of the military complex.

In the spring of 1918, the detachment, led by a member of the Novonikolaevsk Council I. P. Botko, went to the Trans-Baikal Front to oppose Lieutenant General of the White Army G. S. Semyonov.

During the Civil War, the Military Town was also occupied by the Kolchak Army, the Czechoslovak Corps and Polish legionaries.

According to the recollections of residents of Novosibirsk, one of the buildings of the military complex was occupied by arrested persons (about several hundred people), including Magyars who served in the International Battalion named after Karl Marx and members of the Soviet and party apparatus of Novonikolaevsk, among whom was V. R. Romanov, chairman of the Novonikolaevsk Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies.

The White Guards, who were imprisoned in the unheated stables and sheds of the Military Town, suffered from tuberculosis, typhus and died in large numbers.
