The Civil War of Batko Makhno

The collapse of the Russian Empire threw many bright and interesting figures into the political arena. This book explores the complex and contradictory path of Nestor Ivanovich Makhno. An anarchist and revolutionary, he fought with all the authorities and regimes, which were only during the civil war and foreign military intervention in Ukraine. In the ranks of Makhno's party there were representatives of almost all nationalities that inhabited the south of the country at that time. Anarchists, Social Revolutionaries, Communists and representatives of other parties, who pursued opposite goals, fought under Makhno's banners at different times. Poor people and kulaks, workers and criminals, Red Army soldiers and Denikin's and Petlyurov's soldiers who had defected to Makhno's side fought on his side. The history of Makhnovshchina is the history of the peasantry's fluctuations at different stages of the revolution - from the mass insurgency of the village toilers against foreign invaders and their accomplices to political banditry.
