About Ukrainian Black Army
The Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine, led by Nestor Makhno, was an anarchist army formed largely of Ukrainian peasants and workers during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922. They protected the operation of 'free soviets' and libertarian communes by the Makhnovshchina, an attempt to form a stateless anarcho-communist society.
