Roman von Ungern-Sternberg was certainly one of the most interesting characters of the First World War. He was a military buddhist, loyal to the Tsar and enjoyed acts of foolish heroism and cruel violence in equal measure. From his Estonian beginnings to his Russian military service, and eventually running his own autocratic regime whilst the Bolsheviks and Whites engaged in Civil War, let’s take a look at the man behind the legends; the Bloody Baron.

I am Mongolian. And I think he was a great military leader and a real man. At the time he entered Mongolia, Bogd khan and Mongolian nobles supported him with money and horses, soldiers. Then He had about 4000 soldiers including Mongolian volunteers and he defeated the 10 thounsand Chinese soldiers(most of Chinese soldiers was chased and killed), after that he also defeated 5000 Chinese soldiers of reinforcements. Shortly after Mongolian communist took weapons from Soviets and tried to defeat him but they only managed to defeat him with red army support. Mongolian volunteers abandoned him because they had lost their reason to fight after all they already defeated Chinese. Also some of his men abandoned him to escape to the Manchuria. In the end, He was captured by Mongolian communists and handed to Soviets. He was hanged while wearing the yellow deel (Mongolian traditional costume) which Bogd Khan gave him as present.

There is such a disturbing legend about the treasure of Bloody Baron: After the fall of Admiral Piotr Wrangel, the traveler, writer and anticommunist, Ferdinand Ossendowski joined him in Urga in Mogolia. It is not certain, what Ossendowski was doing alongside Roman von Ungern-Sternerg. One theory say he was his "treasurer". And after that, when Bolsheviks smashed the Asian Horse Division in 1921 and killed Roman von Ungern und Sternberg, Ossendowski hid somewhere the treasury of the baron. One very interesting topic is his book: "PEOPLE, ANIMALS, GODS. " (as known as "Through the land of people, animals and gods") where author included a completely random photo of a mound of stones somewhere in the Mongolian steppe, one theory says that this picture, which does not match the contents of the book, shows the place where this huge treasure was buried.
@1984anansi
@1984anansi Год назад
and also about the ring of Otüken. I think that Tolkien heard something about it for his book lord of the rings. Ossendowski talk about the "Master of the World" in his book : beasts, mens and Gods. In the History some mens had this ring, like Alexander the Great, Sargon, Gengis Khan, Timur Leng, and more recently Molotov. One of the rare heroes of the revolution who died AFTER Staline and had a long life...

His father was NOT Estonian. There was NOT such country as "Estonia" at that time. There was Estland - a province of Russia where Balticum Germans were ruling class at that time. In the cities only German was spoken, and a little Russian. The roots of Ungern-Sternberg family go back to the XIII century, and none of them was "Estonian". At the beginning of the 20th century the most of Balticum Germans were also Russian-speaking because they served Russia during 200 years. But none of them spoke Estonian. I think if you had called Roman von Ungern an Estonian you'ld have been immediately shot dead by him because he would have felt insulted by being called Estonian :-)

When Mad Baron was bit by a venomous snake, after 7 days of excruciating pain, the snake died. When mad Baron had to move out of his parents house, he said to his father, "you're the man of the house now" I once had a dream where I fought The Mad Baron, after I woke up, I realized I had a black eye. When Mad Baron was gonna be a teenager, he sat down with his parents to give them "the talk" Mad Baron doesn't turn on the shower, he stares at it until it starts crying. Mad Baron wears sunglasses to protect the sun from his eyes.

The Baron was a hero. A complicated and violent man to be sure, but a great one who stood against the evils of the Godless Bolsheviks. Though, my family caught in the Far East never served under him, they, and everyone with them, knew of him. The Mad Baron, the dedicated Monarchist, a man I greatly admire for his dedicatiom to the Imperial, Monarchist, and the White cause.

Ferdynand Ossendowski writes in his book "Beasts, Men and Gods" that the baron himself told him in 1916 that he sent a mission to Mongolia to persuade the Mongols to fight for Russia on the Eastern Front. Mongolia was then semi-autonomous from China and was neutral during the First World War.

There is another strange character that would deserve an episode like this, pity that the episodes about the war are over now! It was this guy from Venezuela named Rafael de Nogales Méndez. He was a soldier and was desperate to fight in the war, so he tried to enlist in the French army, but was asked to renounce his Venezuelan citizenship and refused. Finally, he managed to enter the Ottoman army and fought in the Caucasus, the siege of Van, Kut and the Palestinian front. He got several distinctions and raised to the position of Bey. After the war he wrote a book about his experiences: "Cuatro años bajo la media luna". I don´t know if there is any English translation, but the title could be put like: "Four years under the crescent". Kind of a Hispanic Lawrence of Arabia.

"Those who knew Baron Ungern noted his great personal bravery and intrepidity. He was not afraid, for example, to visit the besieged Urga, where the Chinese would have paid dearly for his head. It happened as follows. On one of the bright, sunny winter days, the baron, dressed in his usual Mongolian attire - in a red-cherry robe, in a white papakha, with a tashur in his hands, simply drove into Urga along the main road, at an average gait. He visited the palace of the main Chinese dignitary in Urga, Chen Yi, then returned to his camp past the consular town. On the way back, driving past the prison, he noticed that the Chinese sentry here was sleeping peacefully at his post. This violation of discipline angered the baron. He dismounted from his horse and whipped the sentry with tashur. Ungern explained to the awoken and terribly frightened soldier in Chinese that the sentry on guard must not sleep and that he, Baron Ungern, had punished him for this. Then he got back on his horse and rode on calmly."

Little correction about his father. Roman's father wasn't ethnically Estonian. His father was Baltic German nobleman. The Ungern family was Baltic German noble family that had lived in the land of Estonia since 1200s during that time the Ungerns were German knights. And Sternberg family was Swedish noble family so ethnically Roman's father was German and Swedish nobleman.
