Denikin's forces constituted a real threat, and for a time threatened

Denikin's forces constituted a real threat, and for a time threatened to reach Moscow. The Red army, stretched thin by fighting on all fronts, was forced out of Kiev on 30 August. Kursk and Orel were taken. Cossack Don Army under the command of General Mamontov continued north towards Voronezh, but there they were defeated by Tukhachevsky's army on 24 October. Tukhachevsky's army then turned toward yet another threat, the rebuilt Volunteer Army of General Denikin.

The high tide of the White movement against the Soviets had been reached in September 1919. By this time Denikin's forces were dangerously overextended. White front had no depth or stability. It had become a series of patrols with occasional columns of slowly advancing troops without reserves. Lacking ammunition, artillery, and fresh reinforcements, Denikin's army was decisively defeated in a series of battles in October and November 1919. The Red Army recaptured Kiev on 17 December and the defeated Cossacks fled back towards the Black Sea.
