About the book: 2002 / In the history of the revolution and the Civil War in Russia, there is hardly a person as mysterious as Nestor Makhno. In the bygone 20th century, the name Makhno was constantly mentioned in encyclopedias and historical works, his image is reflected in poems, novels and films. But most often, Makhno and the movement of the peasant masses associated with him were shown from the negative side, in a mocking, caricatured form. Famous prose writer S.P. Mosiyash is confident: the time has come to show the true face of this revolutionary anarchist, who never once bent his soul before the people.
