Tachankas from the South. The History of the Makhnovist Movement

“Tachankas from the South” is a research book that creates a comprehensive and accurate picture of the emergence, flourishing, and decline of the Makhnovist movement, one of the most significant revolutionary phenomena that emerged at a turning point in history and influenced its course. A popular hero, a revolutionary, who opposed all who threatened Freedom and Will, yearning for truth and life, Nestor Makhno became a symbol of the fight against dictatorship. By scrutinizing past events, debunking myths, and striving to restore objectivity, the author attempts to present the entirety of this movement’s multidimensional character, where the struggle for the principles of Freedom and Justice went hand in hand with cruelty and violence.
