nov 15, 1920 - Bolsheviks already looking for reasons to break treaty, so mks forced to enforce rules around not absorbing red troops. this results in the spring of several mk commanders
Description:
Already near the end of the Crimean operation in the middle of
November 1920, the Bolsheviks began to look for a pretext for breaking their agreement with the Makhnovists. Thus, according
to the Starobelsky Accord (Section 2, Article 2), the Makhnovists
were forbidden to accept into their ranks any Red Army troops or
deserters therefrom.1591 And the Red command focussed attention
on the slightest violations of this point. In order not to give cause
for severing the agreement, KAD sentenced insurgents to be shot
even for insignificant violations. Thus Chaly, the commander of a
regiment, was shot for enticing a platoon of Red soldiers with two
machine guns to join him.
