Baron Alexey Budberg commanded a corps stationed near Dvinsk in the autumn of 1917. In mid-November 1917, after leaving his command, he moved to St. Petersburg. At the end of January 1918, he traveled to the Far East, where he remained—mostly in Harbin—until the spring of 1919. On March 26, 1919, he was appointed Chief of Supply at the Headquarters of Adm. Kolchak, and at the end of April of the same year he went to Omsk, where he stayed in that position, and later as the head of the Military Ministry until October 1919.
