21 out 1919 ano - testimony of sadistic torture from Bolsheviks who tangled with kontrraz, apparently largely refutable. many bodies thrown into the river

Descrição:

Not surprisingly, in the
accounts of the Reds one most often finds descriptions of Zinkovsky,
who personified the whole Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka so far as the
Bolsheviks were concerned.
For example, F. Levenzon, commander of the 133 Cavalry Brigade,
clashed with the Makhnovists in Alexandrovsk: "At my quarters ar-
rived... the head of the Kontrrazvedka, the butcher and former common criminal - Levka" According to Teper, murder and torture
became a special kind of sport for the Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka.
The kontrrazvedniks made these activities "a profitable part of their
business plan."182) He claimed that in the field of the Kontrrazvedka's
punitive politics, the Left SR Popov led the way, researching various
methods of torture and murder. Popov had supposedly sworn to
slay 300 Communists, but when Teper met him he had only up to
190.1831 Teper also wrote about the Tatar Alim who was Makhno's
personal executioner: 84 The former White Guard Gerasimenko also
wrote about the Batko's personal executioner, identifying him as a
certain Kiyko, a metalworker, who tortured officers. 185]
And the manager of a shelter for refugees in Yekaterinoslav, Hut-
man, wrote that in the Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka not a day passed
without shootings and bodies of the executed thrown in the Dnieper.
And supposedly dozens of corpses stuck out of the water, washed
ashore by the waves."[86] Of course such accusations make the Ci-
vilian Section of the Kontrrazvedka the crowning disgrace of the
Makhnovist movement. It also means that this activity requires very
careful investigation. It is quite easy to refute the lie about Zadov. In
the GPU's case against Zinkovsky in 1924187) and the NKVD's case
against him in 1937 there is not a word about brutality and torture.
188) In the first instance, at a time when thousands of witnesses of
the Makhnoshchina were alive and Zinkovsky's group voluntarily
surrendered to the Soviet authorities, the Chekists conducted a scru
pulous investigation. And during the "Great Terror" of 1937-1938.
the slightest pretext generally resulted in people being branded as
"enemies of the people"
. But no such thing occurred. In fact such
evidence has not been discovered up to this time.
