From memoirs of the colonel of army of the USA Morrou: "Couldn't fall asleep, without having killed somebody".

Several times the American soldiers appeared in our village and every time was repaired by arrests of inhabitants, robberies, murders. In the summer of 1919 the American and Japanese chasteners arranged public flogging with ramrods and lashes of the peasant Pavel Kuzikov. The American corporal stood nearby and, smiling, clicked the camera. Ivan Kravchuk and three more guys from Vladivostok was suspected in connection with guerrillas, they were tormented by some days. They knocked out them teeth, chopped off languages".

And here other certificate: "Interventionists surrounded the Small Cape and opened storm fire at the village. Having learned that guerrillas aren't present there, Americans grew bolder, rushed into it, burned school. Flogged brutally everyone who came them to hand. The peasant Cherevatov, as well as many others, it was necessary to carry away home blood-stained, fainted. Cruel oppressions were repaired by the American infantrymen in villages Knevichi, Krolevtsa and in other settlements. In the face of all the American officer let out some bullets in the head of the wounded fellow Vasily Shemyakin".

And the general Grevs ordering the American forwarding case recognized subsequently: "from those areas where there were American troops, we received messages on murders and tortures of men, women, children..."

The colonel of army of the USA Morrou isn't less frank in the memoirs also, complaining that his poor creatures soldiers... "couldn't fall asleep, without having killed somebody this day (...) When our soldiers took Russians prisoner, they brought them to Andriyanovk's station where cars unloaded, prisoners brought to huge holes at which and shot them from machine guns". "Day was the most memorable" for the colonel Morrou, "when 1600 people brought in 53 cars were shot".
