Descripción:

The backbone of the Kontrrazvedka was formed from two basic
groups: these arriving "specialists” in ex's and terror; and the
closest associates of Makhno himself. Among the latter one can
name I. Lyuty, G. Vasilevsky, and A. Lepetchenko. Vasilevsky and
Lepetchenko were anarchist-terrorists from the Gulai-Polye group
of anarchists, so they were well versed in problems of intelligence
gathering. Lyuty generally acted as Makhno's bodyguard. Accord
ing to the memoirs of the Batko,' Lyuty joined him from the very
beginning of the Makhnovist organization.261 Around April 19 1919,
in Volnovakh, Makhno ordered him to arrest all the regimental
commissars imposed on the Makhnovist Brigade by the Bolshe-
viks.
