Today in Labor History September 18, 1945: Russian anarchist Volin died of tuberculosis in Paris. He participated in both the Russian and Ukrainian Revolutions before the Bolsheviks forced him into exile. He also participated in the protests that culminated in Bloody Sunday (1905). During the ensuing strikes he led the creation of the first St. Petersburg Soviet. He criticized the October Revolution for bringing the Bolsheviks to power and then left for Ukraine, where he became an important figure and, eventually, Chairman of the Military Revolutionary Council, of the anarchist Makhnovshchina, a large enclave in Ukraine, lasting about 4 years, organized under anarcho-communist principles.

Today in Labor History December 27, 1918: The Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine (RIAU) seized 7 airplanes, establishing an Insurgent Air Fleet. The RIAU was an anarchist peasant army led by Nestor Makhno. During the Ukrainian War of Independence, they created a stateless libertarian communist society known as the Free Territory, or Makhnovia. It lasted from 1918 to 1921, when it was ultimately crushed by the Bolsheviks.

@Drippy_Spudd death to all who would oppose the freedom of the working class? #Makhnovia

Today in Labor History October 26, 1889: The Ukrainian anarchist general Nestor Makhno was born in Huliaipole,. Makhno led a large insurrectionary army of peasants and helped defeat the reactionary White armies. His Black Army ultimately liberated and held onto the Free Territory within Ukraine, known as Makhnovia, from 1918 to 1921. It was a stateless, anarchist society that was defended by the Black Army. Roughly 7 million people lived in the area. The peasants who lived there refused to pay rent to the landowners and seized the estates and livestock of the church, state and private landowners, setting up local committees to manage them and share them among the various villages and communes of the Free State. His uprising was eventually crushed by Trotsky. Makhno died in exile in Paris, July 25, 1934.

Time for Insurrectionary History!
Enough of commemorating political and religious figures.
Let’s remember those who rebelled 😀
Makhnovia established 1918 to be a stateless anarchist society

Flag attributed to the Makhnovists by Bolshevik media, proclaiming "Death to all those who stand in the way of the working people"
Makhnovshchina or Makhnovia (Ukrainian: Махновщина, romanized: Makhnovshchyna; Russian: Махновщина, romanized: Makhnovshchina), resulted from an attempt to form a #stateless #anarchist society in parts of #Ukraine during the #RussianRevolution of 1917–1923. It existed from 1918 to 1921, during which time free soviets and #libertarian #communes operated under the protection of Nestor Makhno's Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army. The area had a population of around seven million.

#Makhnovia was established with the capture of #Huliaipole by Makhno's forces on 27 November 1918. An #insurrectionary staff was set up in the city, which became the territory's de facto capital. #Russian forces of the White movement, under Anton Denikin, occupied part of the region and formed a temporary government of Southern Russia in March 1920, resulting in the de facto capital being briefly moved to Katerynoslav (modern-day Dnipro). In late March 1920, Denikin's forces retreated from the area, having been driven out by the Red Army in cooperation with Makhno's forces, whose units conducted #guerrilla warfare behind Denikin's lines. Makhnovia was disestablished on 28 August 1921, when a badly-wounded Makhno and 77 of his men escaped through Romania after several high-ranking officials were executed by Bolshevik forces. Remnants of the #BlackArmy continued to fight until late 1922.
