Nestor Makhno - History of Ukraine

S. Bratishko

Nestor Makhno - History of Ukraine - 2011 - DVD - 80m

Nestor Ivanovych Makhno (Bat’ko Makhno) was a guerilla leader who led an independent anarchist army in Ukraine, and commanded a peasant Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army. He then turned to organizing the Free Territory of Ukraine, as an anarchist society. This DVD presents a contemporary Ukrainian historical view of the life and activities of this legendary insurgent leader and master of guerilla warfare during the struggle for independence (beginning of the 20th century). Despite the many shameful labels attributed to Makhno by imperial-minded historians, Makhno remains a popular folk hero. Historical Documentary
