mar 21, 1919 - Makhnovists being suppressed through cutbacks in supplies, forcing provisioning through violent and clandestine means

Description:

For the Makhnovists this practice (requisition, exs etc) remained still more urgent. Thus,
according to the March 21 report of the chief of the Kontrrazvedka
of the Brigade, L. Golik, the Red Command
was beginning to suppress the insurgents by
cutting down their supplies. Naturally the
specialists in expropriation joining the Makh-
novist troops from Russia got involved in the
supply problem. It's impossible to exclude
the possibility that they were even specially
invited, “summoned by Makhno for this
spe-
cific purpose.
