30 oct. 1919 - MOAP plot foiled when cheka ambush at Marusya's further apartment. Kovalevich shot, captured, and killed.

Description:

But already by the end of October the Chekists had established that an
apartment formerly used by Nikiforova was the secret hangout of illegal
anarchists. An ambush was set up there which caught Kovalevich.
Mortally wounded, he was conveyed to the MChK where he died. Then, at the apartment of MOAP member Voskhodov, another
ambush wiped out other members of the organization and a roster of
the organization was found. As the account of the MCK describes
it, “Using this information the arrests of the gunmen were carried
out, but almost none of them surrendered without resistance."
At the next secret address Tsintsiper and 10 more militants were
ambushed. Later Sobolev showed up at the same address and
was killed. A bomb he threw fell by chance into the briefcase of
a commissar who squeezed it shut with one hand while shooting
the leader of MOAP with the other hand. Finally, in an ambush
at a secret address on the Ryansk Highway, seven more anarchists
were killed.
