9 agos 1910 anni - Lev Zadov: Jewish metalworker and anarchist terrorist of Yuzovsk

Descrizione:

The creation of the Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka is often connected
with the name Lev Zadov. Thus, in the words of I. Teper (Gordeyev)
- anarchist, member of Nabat, and for-
mereditor of the Makhnovist newspaper
Put k svodbode [The Road to Freedom)
- the Kontrrazvedka was headed by
the Zadov brothers, "both Jews, both
long-time criminals". They served the
anarchist movement before the Revolu-
tion by carrying out expropriations."
However, one must treat Teper's infor-
mation cautiously: as a repentant an-
archist he was prone to exaggerate the
excesses of the past. In reality, from
1910 the metalworker Zadov was an
anarchist-terrorist, a "bezmotivnik,"
and member of the Yuzovsk (Donetsk)
Group of Anarcho-Communists. He
really did participate in expropriations:
he robbed an artel official at a mine, a
post office in the village of Karan, and
a cash office in Debaltsevo.151 If Teper
concluded from this that Zadov was a
Lev Zadov (Zinkovsky)
criminal, then so was Stalin. (Stalin masterminded the robbery of the Tiflis State Bank in 1907 in the course of which
dozens of people were killed or wounded.)
