The selection of documents is related to the subject insufficiently studied in Russian historiography, and presents a response to an existing need to study the effects the Revolution and the civil war made on the Russian society. For the first time the documents concerning the Former Red Partisans and Red Guards Commission activities are presented. The Commission functioned not only as a social security institution for former combatants of the Revolution, but was tracking their mindset, post-war public and private life, giving or denying them the right to career development, pension, free medical care. Holdover documents allow tracing the general trends of social adaptation of former red partisans and the authorities’ attitude to them.

Keywords: partisans, privileges, social policy, questionnaire, social lift.
