10 nov 1919 - authors evidence suggests that black terror was absolutely minute compared to the brutality of whites and insurmountable slaughter by the reds later

Description:

The insignificance of the “Black Terror" of the Makhnovists can be
comprehended only on a comparative basis. Here is what the figures
say. After the capture of Yekaterinoslav, the investigative organs of
the Denikinists could find only 70 bodies of victims of the "extra-
judicial organs” of the Makhnovists. Alas, there are no data on
the number of victims of the Black Terror in the whole Liberated
Zone in the autumn of 1919. But I'm absolutely convinced that
these figures would not even come close to the number of victims
of the White and Red Terrors. For example, the victim count of the
White Terror during the mutiny in Yaroslav in July 1918 was close to
200," and in Finland, where the White movement was victorious,
up to 8,400 people. The number of victims of the Red Terror in
"liberated" Crimea alone is estimated at 100,000 - 150,000. In one
night were shot, by machine guns: in Simferopol - 1,800 persons,
in Kerch - 1,300, in Feodosia - 420. In Sevastopol alone the Cheka shot
up to 29,000 people in total.
