Another goal for the
Makhnovists was the seizure of sugar refineries, for example, the
Tsiglerovsky, Vengersky, and Glebensky plants. And later, in the
winter of 1920 - 1921, the insurgents seized 18 Ukrainian refineries
and requisitioned 17,000 poods of sugar. This commodity, scarce
in the villages, functioned as a currency used to pay the peasants
for supplies and horses.
