INSURGENCY MOVEMENT LEAD BY N. I. MAKHNO AND THE RED ARMY
The paper shows contradictory relationship between the Bolsheviks and the Ukrainian insurgents during the Civil War period. It is stated that the agreements between the Soviet authorities and N. M. Makhno based on the need to fight against the common enemy were objectively of a temporary nature. The Bolsheviks wanted to establish the Soviet power based on the strict discipline of the state, while the followers of Makhno fought for the peasant's freedom verging on anarchy.
