Alla vigilia della guerra, ho posto sulla carta i miei ricordi personali su Makhno così come l’ho conosciuto nel periodo di Parigi. Questi ricordi sono andati persi durante la guerra. Ora, avendo letto ciò che a questo soggetto ha scritto Volin nel suo libro sulla rivoluzione russa, mi deciso di scrivere di nuovo questi brevi ricordi nell’interesse della verità storica.

THE LIFE OF MARUSYA NIKIFOROVA
Malcolm Archibald
Introduction
The Ukrainian anarchist Maria Nikiforova (1887–1919) has sometimes been compared to Joan of Arc. Like Joan she started from humble origins and, improbably, became a ferocious military commander who was captured and executed by her sworn enemies. And, like Joan, she was a fanatic who pursued her goals in a violent, ruthless fashion.

Insurgent Makhnovists
Comrade in the Red Army! You were sent by your commissars and commanders to capture the insurgent Makhnovists. Following orders from your chiefs, you will destroy peaceful villages, search, arrest and kill people you don’t know but whom they have pointed out to you as enemies of the people. They tell you that the Makhnovists are bandits and counter-revolutionaries.

Nestor Makhno
En los albores de la abolición del despotismo zarista, con la revolución de 1917 se abrieron perspectivas de relaciones sociales nuevas y libres para el mundo del trabajo, hasta entonces bajo el violento yugo del Estado ruso. La noción de una autodeterminación integral, incluyendo una ruptura completa con el Estado ruso, se abrió paso de modo natural entre la población. Aparecieron multitud de grupos que propagaron todo tipo de ideas entre la población ucraniana: cada uno de ellos tenía su propio punto de vista e interpretaba la idea de la autodeterminación de acuerdo a sus intereses fraccionales. Pero las masas trabajadoras de Ucrania no se identificaron con ninguno de estos grupos ni se unieron a ellos.

As predicted by Ukrainian activists, and promised by neo-nazis, the second LGBTQIA+ Pride event in Kiev, Ukraine was attacked by pro-government Neo Nazis today.
The first (which was also attacked, but only by 13 people) was held in 2013 before the coup, and in 2014, right after the Euromaidan Coup, the last Pride March was canceled. Vitaly Klitchko, Kiev’s mayor and major figurehead of the coup, urged people to cancel the rally.

Nestor Makhno
Dear Comrades Carbó and Pestaña!
Convey to our Spanish friends and comrades and, through them, to all the workers in general my encouragement to them not to let their resolution falter in the revolutionary process which has been launched, as well as to make haste in uniting around a practical programme drafted of a specific ideological direction. At all costs there must be no let up in the pace of the masses’ revolutionary action. On the contrary, we must rush to help them compel (by force if there is no other way, no other means) the acting republican government which is hindering and distracting the revolution with its absurd decrees to desist from such harmful endeavours.
