Nestor Ivanovych Makhno (8 November 1888 – 25 July 1934) was a Ukrainian anarchist and the leader of the Ukrainian Free Territory.
Early life[edit | edit source]
Makhno was born in 1888 in a peasant family. He became an anarchist in 1905 and participated in the 1905 Russian revolution. In 1910, he was sent to Butyrki prison in Moscow after a shootout with police. He was released from prison after the February Revolution and left Ukraine during the German and Austrian invasions.[1]
Makhnovshchina[edit | edit source]
Makhno returned to Ukraine in late 1918 and began a campaign of killing landlords and army officers and confiscating their estates. In early 1919, he assisted the Red Army against the Ukrainian nationalists in Yekaterinoslav. He began a rebellion against the Red Army in May 1919 when the counterrevolutionary Anton Denikin invaded Ukraine. In October 1920, he formed another alliance with the Bolsheviks against Wrangel's White Army in Crimea.[1]
