Descrizione:

During the period at the end of 1920 - beginning of 1921 when
the Insurgent Army was dispersed into a multitude of independent
detachments and small groups, contact between them was also
maintained by means of secret agents. Contact was also made with
Red units which showed an interest in transferring their allegiance
to Makno. For example, at the beginning of December 1920 agents
arrived from Maskiakov, commander of the 1"Cavalry Brigade, and
reported that he was prepared to switch sides along with his brigade
but was waiting for a propitious moment. In the meantime he was
trying to stir up the commanders of nearby divisions. Secret agents
sent to the 30th Division reported that a purge was being carried
out of officers sympathetic to the Makhnovists and its prospects of
transferring had collapsed. Agents sent to establish contact with
Mironov's 2nd Cavalry Army did not return. Probably they were
exposed and annihilated.
