nov 2, 1920 - Zinkovsky was a commandant in the campaign in Crimea led by Karetnikov. despite being head of NMs bodyguard, Zinkovsky was doubtless still active in kontrraz. the inclusion of several kontrraz personnel in crimes points again to kontrraz influence within White Makhnovists and agent network in crimea

Description:

A promising approach for future research would look at the participation of Zinkovsky in the campaign against Wrangel by Karetnikov's
Crimean group in which Zinkovsky held the rank of commandant.
Golik - the Military Kontrrazvedka chief - also
went to Crimea with this group. According to
the source materials available to me about the
Makhnoshchina, these two insurgents were
always involved in Kontrrazvedka work. Even
though during the last period of the movement,
Zinkovsky was the head of Batko's body guard,
this didn't mean that he ceased to carry out
intelligence functions. This participation of the
leading members of the Kontrrazvedka in the Crimean campaign,
possibly accompanied by their co-workers, can be viewed as one
more indirect confirmation of contacts of the Kontrrazvedka with
the White Makhnovist units and with the agent network in Crimea
