Descripción:

According to
Belash, when on November 24, 1920 the Cheka terrorists arrived
with bombs at Makhno's quarters, where there was a gathering to
celebrate some holiday, they were arrested. Sentenced by KAD, seven
of them were shot. Furthermore, thanks to Mirsky's information
about the forthcoming general onslaught of the Reds against the
Makhnovists and, in particular, of the 42nd Division against Gulai-
Polye, 1217 the Shtarm was not taken unawares.
Thus it was only thanks to the Kontrrazvedka that the core of the
Makhnovist movement avoided destruction in the autumn of 1920.
And judging from Belash's information about the arrival of the ar-
rival of the Makhnovist kontrrazvedniks together with Martinov's
agents directly from Kharkov, one can deduce that the Military
Section must have begun to prepare a response to the Special Strike
Force immediately after the attempt on Makho's life. Even when
there was an agreement in effect with the Reds (or not long before
this) it was considered wise to infiltrate Makhnovist secret agents
into the Cheka's secret unit for struggle with banditism. Or, as a
possible variant, to re-recruit anarchists who formed the backbone
of the Special Strike Force.
