sep 3, 1919 - the Military Section of the Kontrrazvedka, and reconnaissance was NM's passion, even repeatedly disgusting himself as women and venturing into white territory, this was his happy place.

Description:

If one can interpret the punitive activity of the Civilian Section of the
Kontrrazvedka as a detriment to the Makhnovist movement, then
the work of the Military Section can be considered with confidence
one of the brightest lights of the anarchist insurgency. Reconnaissance was the passion of Makhno himself. He disguised himself as
a peasant woman and went about cracking sunflower seeds under
the very noses of the Whites. He posed as a vendor in the bazaar or
a beggar, and once he even played the part of the bride at a church
wedding. Naturally the Military Section of the Kontrrazvedka was organized splendidly.
