Much has been written on the 19171920 revolution in Ukraine, on the
national movement, the Makhnovists and the Bolsheviks. Yet there
were others with a mass following whose role has faded from history
books. One such party was the Borotbisty, the heirs of the mass
Ukrainian Party of Socialist-Revolutionaries, an independent party
seeking to achieve national liberation and social emancipation.
Though widely known in revolutionary Europe in their day, the
Borotbisty were decimated during the Stalinist holocaust in
Ukraine. Out of print for over half a century, this lost text by
Ivan Maistrenko, the last survivor of the Borotbisty, provides a
unique account on this party and its historical role. Part memoir
and part history, this is a thought-provoking book which challenges
previous approaches to the revolution and shows how events in
Ukraine decided the fate not only of the Russian Revolution but the
upheavals in Europe at the time.
