Abstract. The article examines the combat operations of the 82nd Rifle Regiment of the 1st Rifle Division during the spring and summer of 1919, a period marked by military actions in Karelia between the Red Army and the Finnish Olonets Volunteer Army. Analyzing the combat actions of the Olonets campaign using the archival materials of the regimental units of the Red Army is important, as it offers the most comprehensive account of the events and helps to identify the challenges faced by the command.
