Beschreibung:

Later, in the autumn of 1919 when the Insurgent Army reached the
apogee of its power, detachments of Petlyurist atamans began to
join it. These atamans included Matyazha, Melashko, Gladchenko,
Ogiya, and others who declared themselves anarchists and enemies
of the Petlyurists. According to Belash, their sincerity, loyalty, and
real plans had to be clarified by agents of the Kontrrazvedka. 78)
And when one considers the fact that these atamans transferred to
Makhno together with their units, it's natural to assume that the
Kontrrazvedka
agents carrying out surveillance on the atamans also made efforts to
win over the rank-and-file Petlyurists. The Petlyurist commanders
who proved their loyalty to the RPAU(m) were given commands
of regiments of the Free Cossack Insurgent Group of Yekater-
inoslavshchina. But, on the other hand, Matyazh and Levchenko
were condemned to death. Teper connects their sentences with an
increase in anti-Semitism and agitation for pogroms after their
detachments had joined the Insurgent Army.
