example of Bolshevik Red Army SIGINT success, this
time in the battle against the forces of Anton Denikin in
April 1920, north of the Caucasus.

the last in a TNT series about the Turks' somewhat
pyrrhic victory in nearby Dagestan in the Fall of 1918
that was the prelude to the chaos that ensued.
On the map below, Taganrog is at the far left, connected
to Stavropol - the Denikin Army's hub on this front - to
the southeast, with the Caspian Sea on the right.//
"This map shows the wireless network of the Denikin Army's Caucasus
Front on 15 April 1920, at a time when our (Red Army) capability to
surveil and fix wireless stations had just begun to develop. In fact,
at that time we did not have even one wireless location-fixing station.
Consequently, the situation depicted on the map was obtained through
the efforts of receiving stations and field stations. So, even though
we had no location-fixing stations, through the analysis of the
information obtained by surveilling the activities of the enemy stations
it was possible to obtain significant results.
The map clearly shows that the enemy had three main groups: the first
one north of the Caucasus and comprised of a center and five field, or
division, stations; the second group along the shore north of the
Caspian Sea; and the third group made up of ships in the Caspian Sea.
The central station for the front was at Stavropol.
This evidence, which gives the number and situations of the enemy's
wireless stations on the front, allowed us to obtain a rather correct
idea of the amount of the enemy's forces and their positions."
