vasilevsky at meeting of makhnovist and Gregoriev leadership, preceding their unification. Kontrrazvedka have investigated area to advertising numbers and mood of peasantry
Ataman Gregoriev executed by Makhnovists for antisemitism and asking with Denikin
nearing Petliurist positions, nm send delegation to team up against whites, but Petliura is negotiating with whites too, hoping whites and makhno will destroy each other and leave him Ukraine.
kontrraz report double cross, and NM disguises himself, sneaks into Petliurist camp and scuffles with Denikin colonel (!?)
In the absence of anarchist nabat members, retreating insurgents find the boys filled with nationalist intellectuals. Galina Kuzmenko won over to nationalism, and her, Schus, and others attempt to repave NM and merge with Petliura
agreement with Petliura signed this day. also kontrraz planning his assassination in case he fucks them around.
Anti-Petliura propaganda started in earnest to steal troops. also a troop of kontrraz head to a meeting with SP in Uman to kill him, but he boosts before NM arrives (wise move). unknown terrorists arrive in town, get surrounded by Petliurist troops, killed in fun battle, and both NM and SP forced to retreat to their bases.
in autumn (Makhnovists peak) several petliurist atamans (and their troops) defected to makhno their anarchist comprehension tested by the Kontrrazvedka. two however were executed, sisterly after a surge in antisemitic pogroms after they joined.
while attacking Moscow, Makhnovists demolish Denikin's rear. "the building of a new life was begun"
4th regional congress, issues statement demanding self-organizing, community justice system, feeding into a voluntary self-defense force. "leads to... the tyranny of momentary rage; lynch law" Bolsheviks denounce arbitrariness and lawlessness, citing brutality of Kontrrazvedka.
testimony of sadistic torture from Bolsheviks who tangled with kontrraz, apparently largely refutable. many bodies thrown into the river
strict discipline enforced, with serious offences sentenced by open courts. for insurgents shot for robbing a peasant
commander bogdanov shot for imposing levy on bourgeois for own benefit
Aleksandrovsk Congress: resolution#3: special commission to "investigate and resolve grievances and misunderstandings with kontrraz". this is maybe toothless, but causes a pulling back
Volin (at some point)testifies to the rev. tribunal of 14th army of the many company's he's recieved about kontrraz. makhno shuts him down, recalling the assistance they have paid to Volin, including accompanying him north for a lecture (when he was arrested)
when whites retreat, NM gives names of "jackasses" (of all shades) to kontrraz to eliminate. however the oversight of Belash and commanders Karetnikov and Kalashnikov intervene, instead screening the arrested and judges it inadvisable due to likelihood of retribution. all are released in the promise of ceasing cooperation with whites.
authors evidence suggests that black terror was absolutely minute compared to the brutality of whites and insurmountable slaughter by the reds later
Makhno takes Ekaterinoslav, declares free press. revkom paper shreds kontrraz abuse of power. nm demand shooting of reporters, and is barely talked down by Shtarm (what is Shtarm?!). apparently he was aware by this time of Bolshevik moles, hence desire to quiet them. This shows that he was no dictator, and refrained from even repeating the red press.
The Polonsky Conspiracy -
The Polonsky Conspiracy - 01 summary introduction
The Polonsky Conspiracy - polonsky recruits several co-conspirators and sends to Bolsheviks for support. gubkom (red regional committee) set up Lisa of communist cells inside makhnovshina, achievable due to latters tolerance and inclusion of Bolshevik converts
The Polonsky Conspiracy - dismissed for Bolshevik propagandizing, conspirators follow NM to Ekaterinoslav, and diffuse kontrraz hear with the idea of creating communist untie inside makhnovshina to create peace and harmony with Bolsheviks within makhnovshina.
The Polonsky Conspiracy - one conspirator, Orlov, eventually shot in karmic as White provocateur... were white kontrraz manipulating red kontrraz to infiltrate the Black kontrraz?!?! THIS IS GREAT TELEVISION
The Polonsky Conspiracy - oregon Regiment deputy commander, Ogarkov, owns up and becomes mk kontrraz eyes and ears on the conspiracy
The Polonsky Conspiracy - Polonsky's goal is to poison NM. but also bribe doctors to poison IlI staff's medicine. given the ride typhus at this point, many many must have been killed. Azarov notes that at that time Makhnovists were treating many Bolsheviks too
The Polonsky Conspiracy - Shtarm (Staff of Army) didn't believe it. possibly as conspiracy based in nikopol, where typhus was rampant, everyone in lockdown, bodies in streets -perfect for planning mutiny. however one commander does try to eject his communist cell, but is not allowed
The Polonsky Conspiracy - the kontrraz investigation uncover the ruse, and race to diffuse it. One Zakharov appears from Bolshevik TsK (central committee) with fancy appointment on cloth. he is pulled in by Golik at the Gubkom, and soon invites NM to a birthday party for Polonsky's wife (an actor) at their apartment, where they plan to poison him and leadership with poisoned cognac. however it is kontrraz who arrive, and arrest them - and trap other conspirators into coming too. NM and officers come when sa
The Polonsky Conspiracy - the VRS try and pronounce death sentences on the conspirators. unclear whether this really happened, or they were simply shot in rage on the way to kontrraz hq and dumped in Dnieper, with report covering tracks (probably latter).
The Polonsky Conspiracy - Remaining conspirators go into hiding, and communist Makhnovist VRS demand an open trial, clearly too late, supported by nabat: Arshinov, Volin, et al. Makhno ends up threatening Volin with pistol, to which Volin calls him "drunk bonaparte" (rmf: sic)
The Polonsky Conspiracy - VRS launch investigation into conspiracy - and the reaction to it. Bolsheviks organise protests against NM's executions, but whites drive them all our before they happen. NM faces charger of extrajudicial killing, not that executions themselves. but through all this controversy Makhnovists allow free press and association for Bolsheviks.
exhausted and depleted by battle, typhus, and tracheids blows from Red Army, a general meeting of Army and VRS announced a months furlough, generously dissolving the insurgent Army. soon they returned though, with a thirsty for revenge amplified by prodotryads, red terror, etc. this meant lynchings with only a semblance of justice.
restructure of insurgency, making kontrraz subordinate to operations section of SRPU, kontrraz also relieved of judicial and punitive functions by new commission for anti Makhnovists activities (KAD), largely sure to the lawlessness of Polonsky's execution. at meeting which created it, Belash criticizes the power of commanders for not adjusting to disruption, resulting in unjust killings of the like of trade unionists and grass roots organizers - just like regular bandits. KAD unanimously passed, chaired by
KAD replaced civilian section. end of July it sentenced an insurgent detachment for antisemitic pogroms. the whole detachment were disarmed and it's commander, Levchenko, shot.
KAD also sentenced prodotryads to be shot. among condemned was a young guy, whoo NM personally intervened to escape death. "well let him grow up and see what he does. if he doesn't straighten up, we'll hang him next time." after nazarovs front shattered, he was shot too
Makhno calls cease-fire against RKKA after Starobelsk, but many local detachments refuse and continue struggle.
Desertion started from the Insurgent Army's core - the Special Group of the SRPU(m). Thus the 8th Infantry Regiment wanted to leave for the Poltava region. But its commander, the old insurgent Matyazh, was arrested and shot on October 16 by order of KAD.
Makhnovists absorb "white Makhnovists", from deceptive propaganda stating fictional alliance with Wrangel. 2 leaders shot by KAD For working on behalf of Wrangel
Bolsheviks already looking for reasons to break treaty, so mks forced to enforce rules around not absorbing red troops. this results in the spring of several mk commanders
Bolsheviks send terrorists to liquidate Makhno, but they are captured. despite this treaty break, KAD remains relatively tolerant (!?), releasing prisoners.
KAD also investigating non-political matters, like the listing of a church. three thieves heard of investigation and fled.
the Military Section of the Kontrrazvedka, and reconnaissance was NM's passion, even repeatedly disgusting himself as women and venturing into white territory, this was his happy place.
at maximum retreat near uman, away from base and threatened with annihilation, agents of kontrraz work deep in Denikin's rest, keeping contact with main army - and making NM aware of the hole in Denikin's rear.
returning agents report no white units for miles, and staff decides to dash back. later advancing, konrad scouts report none toward alexandrovsk, pyatikhatki, and Ekaterinaslav, with disorder in others.
kontrraz help capture berdyansk by winning over local fishermen, who seize a battery from Denikin's troops and use it to rake the city
NM directly saves Makhnovists retreating from Aleksandrovsk by touring barrels of spirits into the road, delaying them for hours
still retreating, kontrraz penetrate villages and tell peasants NM will soon take them back, fueling uprisings in these places against whites.
mk kontrraz underground operating in cities, towns and villages across Southern Ukraine at this peak moment for the movement, with agents based in all manner of business and accommodation.
kontrraz agents operated within white army, with much funds going to help them bribe enemy military specialists etc, or creating military groups in russia and poland. it was so dangerous behind lines that it was even used as a punishment by commanders and tribunals in makhnovshina. summertime whole agent networks were wiped out and had to be rebuilt. kontrraz also comms between mks and nabat.
kontrraz intensively purchase drugs across Ukraine for treating typhus depleted army
Belash weird to Moscow kontrraz to pass on to Bolshevik leadership the success against Denikin.
Belash's memoir (written under ussr watch) states the Makhnovists never made attempts on Bolshevik leadership lives, even after assassins deployed to kill their leadership - although it was proposed.
violent ex's carried out in Denikin's rear, while official confiscations carried out in liberated zone. one raid sees all officers and bourgeois shot at railway station, with other events similar.
after Makhnovists dissolved by Bolsheviks, they appoint one P. Lebed to crush mks and shoot their leadership. Golik escapes underground with a few others in GP, and somehow stays alive.
Golik and remaining mks (~30 people) manage to continue recon and keep communications open thanks to residual kontrraz.
the hiding Shtarm recieve a secret agent from the Crimean corp telling of its collapse. Kontrraz map out a route through the RKKA units busy looking up mk units
agent networks target enemy infrastructure. ten machine guns and 12 artillery sabotaged
rkka wagons travel through GP, and gain notice by kontrraz agents, who seize two million rubles - revitalizing the RPAU (m) in one fell swoop
kontrraz also continue to punish Makhnovists who breach standards. after a sentencing meeting Golik had his lads shot imbezzling commander Lashkevich.
Golik seems to have had a group still, from who likely came the "agent" that arrived from Makhno to Belash in Novopassovsky on May 8
only a few anecdotes remain of the field between the cheka and the kontrraz. m.Spector was sent to infiltrate Nabat. known as M. Boychenko. He, sailor Loboda and soldier Naydenov worked in mk shtarm, and claimed some glory for such things as quarrels between Makhno and Gregoriev.
stationed in Turkenovka, survival combat group (mk) arrest two red agents acting within Makhnovist kontrraz. they had been sent to kill NM, but failed when one, Gluschenko, gave himself up.
dzherzhinsky (iron Felix) issued task of pacifying southern Front for RKKA. appearance is connected the Cheka terror in Ukraine aimed at an- nihilating Makhnovists, anarchists and "ex-ists" - brigands. In particular, Glushchenko and Kostyukhin were members of the “Special Strike Group of the Cheka for Struggle with Banditism", which was directed by Martinov, a participant in the storming of the Kraskovo dacha of MOAP. According to Arshinov, this group was staffed not with Chekists, but ... anarchists and cr
NM tries to transfer partisan warfare to the rear of Wrangel's russian army, now in Northern Tavria. Dzerzhinsky informs Reds of danger of Makhnovists joining with whites. Belash records that the top secret location of mk crossing of front line is reported to cheka by informants (Gordeyev and Boychenko) in makhnovshina.
Makhnovist vanguard are ambushed by red infantry regiments crossing front and annihilated. 1500/2000 Cavalry killed. Makhno blames Zinkovsky
brutal repression of vulnerable Makhnovist forces. Chaplino VOKHR annihilate Klein mks. 200p Makhnovist prisoners shot
massive repression of civilian population, seem as "accomplices of Makhnovshina".
as evidence of civilian repression: political part of Makhnovist Kharkov delegation identifies and demands freedom to return of (mostly peasants) deported as over 200,000
repression inspires equally brutal black terror in revenge. for Klein mks raid Grishno and wipe out all soviet agencies.
Makhnovist raids accelerate through summer, with executions and expropriations becoming a cash cow for mks, who distributed winnings to peasantry - creating upsurge in recruitment. also: everyone was raiding everywhere at once - crazy case given in description
kontrraz capture starobelsk bank with 22mill rubles, showing their method of capturing assets to aid funding of movement. 22 party and soviety workers shot
through the whole revolution, but particularly this winter, mks captured sugar refineries. this scarce resource functioned as currency for partisans
a glorious success for the mk kontrraz was it's operation in the "Makhnovist Units" in Wrangel's russian army - the "White Makhnovists". Wrangel tried to woo Makhno to join against Bolsheviks - a proposal mks thought so disgusting they shot the envoys. wrangel had spread propaganda saying they were allied, and several units went over to him under false pretenses. mk kept things quiet, but messaged Bolsheviks that they were still good. Belash and kontrraz issued secret orders to white Makhnovists to keep the
"White Makhnovists" work so effectively behind enemy lines that the units eventually take orders directly from the Shtarm, for the first time fully feed and provisioned with arms and supplies by the whites. Azarov argues that this level of infiltration may have been entirely by design of the kontrraz, but even if a happy accident, it was a situation created and exploited by the genius of the kontrraz.
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.
Volodin shot by whites for mutiny.
White Makhnovists, coordinated by Kontrraz, take their ultimate action in betrayal of Wrangel. Chaly, by order of the Shtarm, cruises front to insurgent Army, and meets -and then conducts mk cavalry of Marchenko and Petrenko through their front to the rear, where they penetrate the don army in white mk zone - cutting off Don army from wrangel, Dons retreat in disarray. this was all done not so much to seize perekop isthmus for frunze, as to extract the white mk units of Volodin, Chaly, Yatsenko, Savchenko,
Zinkovsky was a commandant in the campaign in Crimea led by Karetnikov. despite being head of NMs bodyguard, Zinkovsky was doubtless still active in kontrraz. the inclusion of several kontrraz personnel in crimes points again to kontrraz influence within White Makhnovists and agent network in crimea
Makhnovists cross Sivash Lagoon, a complex and risky task, requiring careful recon of different routes
martinov returns with a gang of 40 to Guliaipole, in guise of anarchist universalists, to disrupt makhnovshina, it in event of failure: liquidate leadership of SRPU (M). BUT they had already been infiltrated by kontrraz including Cherednyak former adjutant Mirsky. thanks to his reports, Shtarm know the full plot.
days before reds attack mks, kontrraz arrest 9 agents who were trying to obtain the current location of NM and mk leadership so reds could easily round them up after capturing GP
cheka terrorists arrive with bombs at NM headquarters to celebrate a holiday, and are arrested. also - thanks to Mirsky's Intel about the reds upcoming capture of GP and betrayal in crimea, the Shtarm is not taken unawares. so again, the movement is saved by the guile and initiative of the Kontrrazvedka
58000 red troops descend on the liberated zone, and insurgent Army break into several groups, out-manoeuvring over a vast area and panicking red troops and defeating them piecemeal - all informed and planned by kontrraz, who are darting about in clever and nifty disguises "The spies and scouts of the Makhnovist insurgents were found in each Village, on each khutor, darting here and there. Some were disguised as beggars, some as Red Army soldiers looking for their units, some as workers from a mine exchangin
kontrraz continue this work in 1921, with boys and girls of 14-15 carrying secret documents disguised as vagabonds
cossacks capture a Makhnovist wagon train with 400 female military kontrraz on board (like wtf?! who were these, what goes on?!)
20 year old beauty Oksana arranged concert in a village for soldiers of international cavalry brigade, before rushing to neighbor village to warm mks about red threat. arrested, and released due to insufficient reference, she is again captured in battle in all-female tachanka crew covering the retreat of the Makhnovists. at their trial they tell exploits serving with Marusya, and meet their fates bravely.
kontrraz manage to convey to Shtarm not only morale and dispositions of army's, but even the characteristics of commanders - including one instance where they assessed the literacy and competency if a red commander who struggled with the scale of a topographic map. Makhno would disinform enemies about his intentions. with help of kontrraz he tricked rkka into forming a front in expectation of battle while his army marched 64km in the other direction (lol)
the destruction of the Kirghiz Brigade at the village of Komar is another legend of the makhnovshina. kontrraz spies spent night asking with Kirghiz Bde, leaving early in the dark and alerting their units in Bogatir. following concentrated heavy fire, they attacked and annihilated the reds. all that support units found were a few "trick riders" beside themselves, claiming mks were in high spirits. red's demoralized in region, and raises mk elan
at this time the kontrraz reported to "operations sections": two people - Makhno and Belash., taking info from kontrraz agents. they are forced to take much decision making autonomously due to the presence of cheka in their ranks. constant mk mobility is ensured by Shtarm cavalry reconnaissance, who shit ahead to scope villages and routes, and late with villagers to ensure fresh horses and provisions are ready. this ensured fresh horses and apples without the need to stop moving at all.
split into several smaller units, contact maintained by secret agents. also contact made with Red units considering switching to Makhnovists, such as Maskiakov , commander of 1st cavalry brigade. Maskiakov was waiting for best moment to flip sides, but Bolsheviks undertook purge of officers with mk sympathies, which removed the opportunity. agents sent to make contact with Mironovs 2nd cavalry didn't return - they were probably exposed and killed.
insurgents aided by the previously german colonists (who had supported hetmanat, and Makhnovists had brutalized). embittered by soviet repression, they allowed mks to use colonies and carried out recon themselves, informing Shtarm of red moves.
rkka report mk kontrraz have penetrated "all the pores if the military organism". deep underground, the Shtarm and kontrraz continue directing dispersed insurgents.
the last great action of the kontrraz may be the crossing into Rumania. Zinkovsky, with 20 insurgents dressed as red punitive detachment, approached border guards asking "did you summon us? where are the Makhnovists? let's finish them off!" then disarmed them and crossed the dniester into Rumania.
In 1925 the Makhovist Foreign Centre in Bucharest, established earlier by Zinkovsky, became more active. Makhno himself began to prepare for a campaign in Ukraine.
Zinkovsky and his brother D. Zadov Zotov had crossed the Rumanian frontier and surrendered in 1924;
in the following year they were amnestied. Zinkovsky was recruited by the foreign department of the Odessa OGPU. Officially he and his brother, stationed in Tiraspol, ran an agent network in Rumania, using Makhnovists living there and the Foreign Centre itself. Their work was distinguished and they received awards from the GPU-NKVD.
But when, in 1935, the whole network collapsed and an inquiry was started, it turned out that the real goal of the brothers' re- turn was the creation of a Makhnovist underground centre in Odessa.
zadovs infiltrate gpu on Makhno's orders to form underground detachments in Ukraine. penetrated secret police to aid return and legalisation of mks from rumania. surrounded himself with veteran amnestied mks, connecting back to GP. planned to create detachmentst in odessa itself, with the thousands of insurgent refugees
even after mks death Zinkovsky continued. consisted of 90 people when exposed. testimony given by numerous insurgents. Zinkovsky denies guilt, and refuses to rat out his colleagues, desire of course knowing everything about them.

zinkovsky shot, remaining am anarchist till the end of his days. he outlives almost all of his fellows.
Isidor Lyuty killed in battle, as member of Black Sotnia
Surrounded by Chekists in the dacha in Kraskovo on November 5 1919, Yakov Glazgon along with the five last members of MOAP blew themselves up along with their bomb lab.
After the breakup of the Insurgent Army due to typhus and the treachery of the RKKA, on January 19, 1920, in Gulai-Polye the 42nd Division shot typhus-stricken Makhnovists. Among those executed was the kontrrazvednik of the "Black Sotnia" Aleksandr Lepetchenko.
The Crimean group of the Insurgent Army escaped from the battles in Tavria but on November 30, 1920, at the city of Orekhov found itself in a cauldron surrounded by overwhelming Red forces. During the battle the head of the field Kontrrazvedka Lev Golik suffered a heart attack and died.
In early January 1921, Grigory Vasilevsky, a kontrrazvednik of the “Black Sotnia" and one of the chairpersons of KAD, was slain in battle with the 8th Division of the Red Cossacks.
Against this background of loyalty stands out almost the only traitor from the ranks of the Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka - Fedor Glushchenko. Arrested by Chekists, he agreed to work in the Special Strike Group of the VCK only in order to warn Makhno about the attempt being prepared against him. Arriving in Turkenovka, Glushchenko immediately gave himself up along with his partner Kostyukin. Before they were shot Kostyukin cursed Glushchenko for leading him there and then betraying him.
By an irony of fate, of the founders of the Kontrrazvedka there remained alive only its mastermind Max Chernyak (Cherednyak). After heading the Sibe- rian group of Nikiforova's detachment in June, 1919, he somehow survived.
By an irony of fate, of the founders of the Kontrrazvedka there remained alive only its mastermind Max Chernyak (Cherednyak). After heading the Sibe- rian group of Nikiforova's detachment in June, 1919, he somehow survived. Later he surfaced abroad. In 1924, based in Warsaw, he maintained contact with the remnants of the Kharkov-based group "Nabat". Acting as a courier, he frequently crossed into the USSR. According to Belash, he was still alive in 1930.
The greatest quantity of references to Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka and its terror occur in the autumn of 1919 - the peak of the Ma- knovist federation of Free Soviets and the time when the Liberated Zone embraced the most territory. the Makhnovist movement the Kontrrazvedka was smaller, pro- portional to the amount of territory controlled. Its function was more concentrated on basic reconnaissance and the struggle with hostile agent networks, and less to the repressions of the Black Ter- ror. Finally, it was m
In January, 1919, Belash joined the Insurgent Army, becoming its chief of staff. Belash was a brilliant military strategist, responsible for developing plans of movement for a force which varied in size from a few dozen partisans to more than 100,000. For his participation in the Makhnovist movement the Whites killed his father, grandfather, and two brothers.
On September 23, 1921, Belash, heavily wounded, was captured by the Reds and ended up on death row in the Kharkov prison. While in prison he was encouraged by the authorities to write his memoirs of the Makhnovist movement, aided apparently by a campaign diary.
Released by an amnesty in 1923, Belash worked as a mechanic for many years before
Belash was arrested again in 1937 and shot in the following year.
Belash was rehabilitated in 1976.
Belash: His son Alexander, a World War II veteran, was able to retrieve his father's manuscript from the archives and published it, with the addition of many previ- ously unkown documents, in 1993.
The leading personality of the Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka, although not its actual chief, was Lev Zinkovsky. In the Soviet era he acquired a sinister reputation, for example, through his depiction in Alexey Tolstoy's potboiler "The Road to Calvary". Historians have gener- ally assumed Zinkovsky was a double agent since he later joined the GPU. Azarov suggests a different interpretation of Zinkovsky's strange career, in which he continued to pursue the anarchist dream even after Makhno's death.
The Makhnovist Kontrrazvedka, from its founding in the spring of 1919, was subordinate to the Operations Section of the staff of the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine (Makhnovist) - the RPAU(m).
Vikto Belash was a director of both the VRS (Military Soviet) and later the Soviet of Revolutionary Insurgents of Ukraine (Makhnovist) - the SRPU(m). His account is one of the most complete told from an actual participants perspective.
It is true that unscrupulous bandits fronted as insurgents to obtain money for themsleves. But proper Mks and Kontrraz never did this - to the point that they had dirty pants with holes!
