Nestor Mahno
Nestor Mahno was a prominent Ukrainian anarchist leader and revolutionary, best known for his role in the Ukrainian Revolution and the Russian Civil War during the early 20th century. He was born in 1888 in the region of Zaporozhye and became a key figure in the struggle against both Bolshevik and White forces, advocating for a stateless society and the establishment of free soviets. Mahno's most notable achievements include leading the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine, which fought for peasant autonomy and social justice. His legacy is often associated with the ideals of anarchism and the fight for workers' rights in Eastern Europe, and he established a base of operations in his hometown of Guliaipole, the same area currently in the news for renewed military conflict.
