A product of the Baltic German service nobility, General E.K. Miller enjoyed a career of unbroken success in the pre‐revolutionary Russian Army. During the Revolution of 1917, however, the General experienced difficulty in adapting to conditions in the post‐tsarist military and then refused altogether to accept the authority of the victorious Soviet government. A prominent figure in the anti‐Bolshevik resistance during the Civil War, Miller, eventually became a leader of the postwar emigre opposition to Bolshevism until his abrupt abduction by the Soviet NKVD in September 1937. Based on documents recently unearthed in police archives in Moscow, this article attempts to establish definitively the circumstances surrounding the seizure, protracted incarceration and ultimate destruction of this longstanding opponent of Soviet rule in Russia
