  • To What Extent Was Makhno Able to Implement Anarchist Ideals During the Russian Civil War?
    Library.Anarhija.Net To what extent was Makhno able to implement anarchist ideals during the Russian Civil War? Kolbjǫrn Markusson Kolbjǫrn Markusson To what extent was Makhno able to implement anarchist ideals during the Russian Civil War? no date provided submitted by anonymous without source lib.anarhija.net no date provided Contents Bibliography ......................... 12 2 Born on October 26 (N.S. November 7) 1888 in Gulyai-Polye, Ukraine, Nestor Ivanovych Makhno was a revolutionary anarchist and the most well-known ataman (commander) of the Revolution- ary Insurgent Army of the Ukraine during the Russian Civil War.1 Historiographical issues regarding the extent to which Makhno and the Makhnovists implemented anarchist ideals in south-east Ukraine have been noted by contemporary Russian anarchist and historian Peter Arshinov. Makhno’s own memoirs and the newspa- per Put’ k Svobode, both valuable material documenting anarchist activity in Ukraine, were lost during the Civil War.2 With much of the contemporary evidence impossible to reconstruct, historians have attempted to understand the nature of the Makhnovist move- ment and the ‘social revolution’ in Ukraine with surviving evidence whilst separating myth and legend about Makhno from historical fact. This essay will argue that Makhno and the Makhnovist move- ment were inspired by anarchist ideals in an attempt to establish a ‘free and completely independent soviet system of working people without authorities’ during the Civil War.3 However, the war itself hindered the political and economic development of the anarchist ‘free territory’ before finally being defeated and dissolved by the Bolshevik-led Red Army in August 1921.

    REVOLUTIONARY ACTION MOVEMENT (RAM) : A CASE STUDY OF AN URBAN REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IN WESTERN CAPITALIST SOCIETY A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By Maxwell C . Stanford DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ATLANTA, GEORGIA MAY 1986 ABSTRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE STANFORD, MAXWELL CURTIS B .A ., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1976 RevolutionarZ Action Movement (RAM) : A Case Study of an Urban Revolution- ary Movement in Western Cap i talist Society Adviser : Professor Lawrence Moss Thesis dated May, 1986 The primary intent of this thesis is to present a political descrip- tive analysis of the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM), an urban revolu- tionary movement active in the 1960's . An attempt has been made to por tray the historical context, the organization, ideology of the RAM organi- zation and response of the state to the activities of the organization . The thesis presents a methodological approach to developing a para- digm in which the study of urban revolutionary movements is part of a rational analysis . The thesis also explains concepts and theories that are presented later in the text . A review of black radical activity from 1900 to 1960 is given to provide the reader with historical background in- formation of the events and personalities which contributed to the develop- ment of RAM . A comparative analysis is made between urban revolutionary movements in Latin America and the United States in order to show that the RAM organization was part of a worldwide urban phenomenon . The scope of the thesis is to present an analysis of the birth, early beginnings of RAM as a national organization, and Malcolm X's impact on the organization .

  • The Black Guards
    The Black Guards A short account of the Anarchist Black Guards and their suppression by the Bolsheviks in Moscow in 1918 Many Russian anarchists were totally opposed to the institutionalisation of the Red Guards, fighting units that had been created by factory workers in the course of the February and October Revolutions. Indeed Rex A. Wade in his book on the Red Guards points to the strong anarchist input and influence in the Red Guards in the initial phase of the Revolution. Relations between the anarchists and the Bolsheviks had started to deteriorate after the October Revolution, and anarchist delegates to the 2nd Congress of Soviets in December 1917 accused Lenin and his party of red militarism, and that the commissars were only in power at the point of a bayonet. As a result in Moscow, Petrograd and other main centres they made a concerted attempt to set up free fighting units that they called the Black Guard. In 1917 detachments of Black Guards had been set up in the Ukraine, including by Makhno. Nikolai Zhelnesnyakov as to flee Petrograd after the Bolsheviks attempted to arrest him and set up a large group of the Black Guard in the Ukraine. Other Black Guard detachments operating in the Ukraine were led by Mokrousov, Garin with his armoured train, Anatolii Zhelesnyakov, the younger brother of Nikolai, and the detachment led by Seidel and Zhelyabov which defended Odessa and Nikolaev. Another Black Guard detachment was led by Mikhail Chernyak, later active in the Makhnovist counterintelligence. In Vyborg near Petrograd, anarchist workers at the Russian Renault factory set up a Black Guard but it soon merged with a Red Guard that had been created at the factory at the same time.

Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • Woodrow Wilson's Diplomatic Agenda and Strategic Military Interventions
    Southern New Hampshire University Woodrow Wilson’s Diplomatic Agenda and Strategic Military Interventions: How They Affected the Russian Civil War 1918-1920 A Capstone Project Submitted to the College of Online and Continuing Education in Partial Fulfillment of the Master of Arts in History By Richard A. Rinehart Killeen, Texas June 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Richard A. Rinehart All Rights Reserved ii Student: Richard A. Rinehart I certify that this student has met the requirements for formatting the capstone project and that this project is suitable for preservation in the University Archive. October 3, 2017 __________________________________________ _______________ Southern New Hampshire University Date College of Online and Continuing Education iii Abstract This thesis aims to understand the factors that affected Woodrow Wilson’s foreign and military policy actions, which subsequently led to decisions that dictated United States’ intervention into the Russian Civil War, 1918-1920. The background information discussed demonstrates the importance of the Russian Civil War. This chaotic time in history surrounding World War I caused much of Woodrow Wilson’s dilemma and consequentially changed future of Soviet-American relations. It details how it would take numerous foreign policy shifts to convince Mr. Wilson to send U.S. troops to intervene into North Russia and Siberia. Lenin’s opposing perspective will encompass what is contained in much of the supporting information surrounding this thesis. In conjunction with military operations there, the allies attempted to broker peace with Lenin and the Bolsheviks in the form of the Prinkipo Proposal, the Bullitt Mission, and the Hoover-Nansen Proposal. The concluding question that frames the argument of this research will answer what happened because Wilson intervened on Russian soil and how it affected the Communist world revolution.

  • The Life of Maria Nikiforova Under Three Different Regimes and Was Tamansha Sentenced to Death Twice
    The Ukrainian anarchist Maria Nikiforo- va played a prominent role in the Rus- sian Revolutions of 1917 and the subse- quent Civil War as an organizer, military commander, and terrorist. A revolution- ary from the age of 16, she was on trial for her life on four separate occasions The life of Maria Nikiforova under three different regimes and was tamansha sentenced to death twice. Her exploits A became the stuff of folklore. But she was ‘blacklisted’ by offi cial historians and her story was lost for generations. Malcolm Archibald . Tacoma, Wa All information is public, all knowledge is stolen. Distribute as you see fit. [email protected] Originally published by Black Cat Press, Ontario, Canada lunariapress.blogspot.com INTRODUCT�ON 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. But there is no cult of Maria Nikiforova. There are no shelves of books devoted to her life in any language. Although she played a prominent role in the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and the subsequent Civil War, she was virtually expunged from Soviet histories of the period. A biographical dictionary of the Russian Revolution published in the Soviet Union which includes hundreds of names does not mention her, indeed mentions only a couple of dozen women. There are entries on the Bolshevik heroines Alexandra Kollontai, Larissa Reissner, and Inessa Armand but none of these women held independent military commands like Nikiforova.

  • A United Front: the American Relief Administration in Ukraine
    A UNITED FRONT: THE AMERICAN RELIEF ADMINISTRATION IN UKRAINE by David Hunt A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2018 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Steve Sabol ______________________________ Dr. Jill Massino ______________________________ Dr. Aaron Shapiro ii ©2018 David Hunt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT DAVID HUNT. A UNITED FRONT: THE AMERICAN RELIEF ADMINISTRATION IN UKRAINE (Under the direction of DR. STEVE SABOL) The United States has been involved in humanitarian assistance missions since the late nineteenth century. However, Herbert Hoover’s American Relief Administration (ARA) was the first organization that combined the abilities of several smaller organizations to form a united front in saving the starving people of Europe after the First World War. While the ARA operated in dozens of countries, its mission in Ukraine provides an interesting case study. The First World War decimated most of Europe but Ukraine had also undergone major shifts in politics, as well as social changes that made the ARA’s mission there even more harrowing. This thesis traces the growth of American humanitarian assistance missions beginning in the 1860s with Clara Barton, until the conclusion of the ARA’s work in Ukraine. In order to do this effectively, the third chapter provides sufficient background on the situation in Ukraine leading up to the famine of 1921. Also included is a prospective interpretive plan for an exhibit about the ARA that could be located at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University.

Some may have fed into each other, and some are the objects of condemnation,3 while Makhno’s own account was written in exile long after the events.
