[edit] Death of Nikifor Grigoriev

Nobody denies the fact what Nikifor Grigoriev was anti-Semite and Nestor Makhno was not. However, I am yet to see what any evidence saying what anti-Semitism of Grigoriev was a real reason why he was killed. Please provide a reference to support your claim. Fisenko 03:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I revised the text following Skirda's account. I append an alternate version below: Jacob Haller 04:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Makhno's anarchist republic had no anti-semitic ideology (many Jews were active anarchists, and several were Makhno's aides, notably Volin and Zadov). Grigoriev was arrested, for the pogroms he instigated among other crimes, court-martialed, and executed by Halyna Kuzmenko (Makhno's wife) on July 27, 1919.

OK. I have also seen a third account, but it needs to be verified.Galassi 18:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Matviy Hryhoriyiv

His Ukrainian name should appear, since he is referred to this way by important English-language sources. Examples include both Subtelny's and Magocsi's big histories of Ukraine. —Michael Z. 2007-07-26 03:41 Z

[edit] Didn't Makhno retreat into Grigoriev's area?

Although the Bolsheviks recovered the cities, several sources (e.g. Savchenko) have Grigoriev's troops continue to raid the rail lines around Aleksandriya and Znamenka. On the other hand, Makhno's troops lost Gulyai Pole to Shkuro's in June and were retreating west. 72.83.176.33 (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
