Histories of the Russian Revolution often present the Bolshevik
seizure of power in 1917 as the central event, neglecting the
diverse struggles of urban and rural revolutionaries across the
heartlands of the Russian Empire. This book takes as its subject
one such struggle, the anarcho-communist peasant revolt led by
Nestor Makhno in left-bank Ukraine, locating it in the context of
the final collapse of the Empire that began in 1914. Between 1917
and 1921, the Makhnovists fought German and Austrian invaders,
reactionary monarchist forces, Ukrainian nationalists and sometimes
the Bolsheviks themselves. Drawing upon anarchist ideology, the
Makhnovists gathered widespread support amongst the Ukrainian
peasantry, taking up arms when under attack and playing a
significant role - in temporary alliance with the Red Army - in the
defeats of the White Generals Denikin and Wrangel. The Makhnovist
movement is often dismissed as a kulak revolt, or a manifestation
of Ukrainian nationalism; here Colin Darch analyses its successes
and its failures, emphasising its revolutionary character. Over 100
years after the revolutions, this book reveals a lesser known side
of 1917, contributing both to histories of the period and
broadening the narrative of 1917, whilst enriching the lineage of
anarchist history.
