Curtain forces

Curtain forces (Russian: Отряды завесы, войска завесы, завеса) were military forces, created soon after the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk by Soviet Russia in 1918, to protect the inner regions of the state and initially served as border troops. They were created by the directive No.72 of Higher Military Council on March 5, 1918.
