They are like Tolkien wizards. It would be interesting if one army became rebellious and named themselves, the Many Colours Army.
I once wrote a biography of a guy who was born in a town called Lanovits/Lanowitz/Lanovtse/Lanowice during WWI. It was in Austria-Hungary when the war started; then it fell to the Russians, then the Germans; then the Ukrainian Rada, then Makhno, and finally ended up in Poland. So by the time he was 5, he had lived in 6 countries under 7 governments, without ever leaving home.

So happy to see Makhno. Been waiting since like the beginning for him!!
Rest In Peace comrade Makhno
Absolutely based
Nestor Makhno was more famous from the beginning of 1919 rather than during The Great War times. Perhaps in 1918 he mostly been involved in the battles with Mennonite selfdefence troops in Katerinoslav governorate.

Not only to Ukrainians. I'm Russian, and he sounds pretty cool to me. Made a big mistake allying with the commies though. Many anarchists already understood at the time that Marxism is the opposite of anarchism.

It is not shenanigans. It is many nations of Russian Empire looking to break free and self-determination. Finland and Poland managed to do so. Ukraine not so much. Ukrainian Black Army didn't succeed because it was fighting with the Petlyura Ukrainian People's Republic government and didn't expect russian bolscheviks treachery. Have they united with Petlyura and had polish and british backing - who knows, we might have independent Ukraine much much sooner.

OOTT question. Thanks to this show I did some research on my grandfather. I found his draft card and also his military records. He was drafted in September 1918 and mustered out in December 1918. During that time he was assigned to Camp Sherman in Ohio and was assigned to a Depot Brigade. My question is what was a depot brigade and what was its function in the US Army?
@TotallyNotRedneckYall
6 жыл бұрын
In case they don't get to your question, they were mustering-in points for draftees. The depot brigade would provide uniforms and equipment, initial military training, and then shipped the soldiers off to france. They also received soldiers mustering-out from the war. Kinda analogous to modern boot camp, but not so long or as intensive.

If not could you speak briefly of the event on Out of the Trenches? Keep up the amazing work!

Hi Indie, please do an episode on Vietnamese colonial troops in the french army! Or maybe one about french indochina at the time. I'd love to learn more about it as its almost always glanced over in Vietnamese history.
If anyone wants to read a book about the Makhno movement, I suggest " Anarchy's Cossack", by Peter Skirda (I think). He was an anarchist, but when it came down to it he was connected to the Ukrainian soil as strongly as any nationalist. He lived a miserable existence in Paris with other exiles, trying to work out what the f**k happened in the Ukraine. The Bolsheviks screwed the anarchists over, as the anarchist Gregori Maximov writes in "The Guillotine at Work", which describes the red terror campaign against those on the left, Excellent video!

How about a special episode about Ukraine during the war.
Nestor “Gaming” Makhno
It just shows how popular the revolutionary sentiment was, and how unpopular the White anti-revolutionary sentiment was. It's just a tragedy that the dialectical materialism of both the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks insisted on the imposition of a one party dictatorship as the manifestation of the hegemony of the exploited classes, rather than allowing the spontaneous, democratic, pluralist expressions represented by the multiple revolutionary parties in the soviets before Lenin annexed the soviets into his bureaucratic rule.

Avery interesting read on the happenings is the 3rd part of the book 'The Unkown Revolution' by Volin or the official anarchist reading 'The history of the Makhnomovement' by Peter Arshinov (who wrote the official chronicler of the Makhnovshchina). Both were involved in the anarchist movement in the Ukraine and Arshinov was a close trustee of Makhno.
