 Reassessing Nestor Makhno
In 1999 Alexander Skirda claimed that fifteen books had been published about Makhno in the previous decade, though he had to admit that ‘most of them lack rigour and are of limited interest to anyone conversant with the subject’.
He asserts Makhno’s importance in defeating the White Army of Denikin and Wrangel, which he insists was the major White army in the civil war.
He disposes of such charges against Makhno as that he had declared ‘Russia needs neither posts nor telegraphs’ (a libel repeated by the British Trotskyist super-sect, the Socialist Labour League in the 1960s) and also claims as to his drunkenness and anti-semitism.
