25 sept. 1919 - kovalevich's squad arrive in Khar'kov to find the staff already shot. instead of exacting revenge they establish an underground in Moscow (MOAP) and across the region, climaxing in an almost successful bombing of the entire executive of the Bolsheviks (including Lenin)

Description:

By the time Kovalevich's group arrived in Kharkov, the Makhnovist
staff had already been shot. The kontrrazvedniks at first planned to
liquidate the leadership of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic in revenge.
But then they decided to transfer their campaign of retribution to
Central Russia. Together with D. Cherepanov's Left SR group, they
created in Moscow a large anarchist underground organization: "The
Pan-Russian Insurgent Committee of Revolutionary Partisans - the
Anarchists of the Underground", with branches in a dozen cities of
Russia, Ukraine, and even Latvia. The Moscow organization of the
"Anarchists of the Underground" (for convenience - MOAP) busied
itself with propaganda (leaflets, newspapers), ex's (obtaining funds
for publishing, explosives, and weapons), and terrorist acts against
the Bolshevik leaders. The most important terrorist act was the
explosion at the Moscow Committee of the RKP(b) on September
25, 1919. Lenin, Bukharin, Kamenev, and other leaders were sup-
posed to be present at this meeting. The leaders were saved only
because they showed up late.
