1 mar 1917 año - During the first days of the 1917 revolution, a group
of anarchist-communists was organized in Gulyai-Polye; this
group carried out significant revolutionary work in the
region. Out of this group emerged several remarkable par-
ticipants and guides of the Makhnovshchina: N. Makhno, S.
Karetnik, Marchenko, Kalashnikov, Lyutyi, Grigory Makhno
and others. This group retained close links with the Makhno-
vist movement from its very origin.
