8 out 1920 ano - wrangel moves units, including "Batko Makhno" unit under Volodin, towards Nikopol to cut off Reds and create junction with Polish army - risking expulsion for Reds in Ukraine again. at last minute "Batko" unit turns and attacks Wrangel's units, killing officers and harassing rear. they are disarmed and Volodin arrested.

Descrição:

As a result of this work, the White Makhnovists (or at least some
of these detachments) began to carry out implicitly the orders of
the Shtarm. This is proven, for example, by the actions of Volodin's
division near Kakhovka. At that point after October 8 Wrangel
created a strike force composed of the Babiyev's Kuban division,
Barbovich's cavalry corps, two guard infantry divisions, and the
Batko Makhno (Volodin's) cavalry division. The strike force ad-
vanced in the direction of Nikopol and Khortitsa with the aim of
cutting off the Reds' Kakhovka bridgehead and bringing about a
junction with the Polish Army.
If this operation had been successful, the Bolsheviks would un-
doubtedly been driven out of Ukraine again. However the White
attack got bogged down as a result of the "anti-Wrangel actions of
Volodin. When he received his orders from the Shtarm, he withdrew
his division of 800 cavalry from the front and between Nikopol
and Alexandrovsk, began to harass the rear of the attacking groups,
killing officers. His goal was the annihilation of the staff of General
Kutepov's 1" Army. Troops were thrown into battle against him and
his division was disarmed. Voldin himself was shot on October
25 in Melitopol. (209) There is no doubt that such murderous orders
could executed only under conditions of complete subordina-
tion of the White Makhnovists to the staff of the Insurgent Army.
Only the agent network of the Kontrrazvedka could ensure such
conditions.
