Not only to Ukrainians. I'm Russian, and he sounds pretty cool to me. Made a big mistake allying with the commies though. Many anarchists already understood at the time that Marxism is the opposite of anarchism. Hope one day the last government falls, and our grandchildren will have a chance at a peaceful life free from any wars and government control.
@@MonadTransformerit's not the opposite, they are two faces of the same coin, both strive to the same goal, but, the thing is that, marxists believe that they need a state to fight against reactionary movements, anarchists don't, the problem here is that, authority and power ends up corrupting people
I once wrote a biography of a guy who was born in a town called Lanovits/Lanowitz/Lanovtse/Lanowice during WWI. It was in Austria-Hungary when the war started; then it fell to the Russians, then the Germans; then the Ukrainian Rada, then Makhno, and finally ended up in Poland. So by the time he was 5, he had lived in 6 countries under 7 governments, without ever leaving home.
Ukraine friend, UKRAINE. It was called the UKRAINIAN BLACK ARMY, and it fought all sides, including SOviet reds, Imperial whites, and the newly proclaimed Ukrainian Peoples Republic.
It is not shenanigans. It is many nations of Russian Empire looking to break free and self-determination. Finland and Poland managed to do so. Ukraine not so much. Ukrainian Black Army didn't succeed because it was fighting with the Petlyura Ukrainian People's Republic government and didn't expect russian bolscheviks treachery. Have they united with Petlyura and had polish and british backing - who knows, we might have independent Ukraine much much sooner.
Happy for Indy getting to yap about Makhno, but he was a Ukranian anarchist. Russian anarchists, and there were many, had had a long and vivid history already at the dawn of WW1. So how about another go at answering the question on Anarchism in Russia? :-D
That hate was cemented already before the Russian Civil War had ended, mate.

Well it makes sense for them to hate eachother. One ideology holds you should be free to do whatever you want (including to other people) and the other ideology wants a totalitarian dictatorship of one political party. They're natural enemies. The chaos of anarchy and the totalitarian dictatorship of socialism can never co-exist.
@ Anarchism is an opposition to hierarchy. If you are allowed to do what you want to others, you are unnecessarily imposing hierarchies upon those people.
Hello, first of all I absolutely love you channel and can not even imagine how much work you are putting into those videos! Can you please talk about how to do history research properly and how to start a history channel? Thanks!
OOTT question. Thanks to this show I did some research on my grandfather. I found his draft card and also his military records. He was drafted in September 1918 and mustered out in December 1918. During that time he was assigned to Camp Sherman in Ohio and was assigned to a Depot Brigade. My question is what was a depot brigade and what was its function in the US Army?
In case they don't get to your question, they were mustering-in points for draftees. The depot brigade would provide uniforms and equipment, initial military training, and then shipped the soldiers off to france. They also received soldiers mustering-out from the war. Kinda analogous to modern boot camp, but not so long or as intensive.
You should do a Russian civil war week by week, that war is one of the most ignore but interesting wars as there were around 50+ parties fighting each other in the war!
The makhnovists were one of the shining hopes in the Russian civil war, the other was the Kronstadt rebellion and after Lenin put it down all hope for real democracy in Russia was lost, the free territory of Ukraine was the last gasp of freedom.

Howdy, Indy and crew! Mighty thanks for your amazing work! I have a question for OOTT: what were the patriotic slogans and popular battle cries of the waring nations? I mean the things along the lines "for King and country" and such. Once again, thank you. Also, just to clear things out, my last name is pronounced "Vatslavik", cause Indy kinda screwed it up last time, but no offence taken.
My father is from Burkina Faso which was a part of French West Africa during the first world war. What role did this colony play during the war and what, if any, contribution did Burkina Faso have on the war effort?
we changed up the format a bit now with our new host, if you want to check the last video we uploaded. We will also go into much more detail on the Russian Civil War soon
If anyone wants to read a book about the Makhno movement, I suggest " Anarchy's Cossack", by Peter Skirda (I think). He was an anarchist, but when it came down to it he was connected to the Ukrainian soil as strongly as any nationalist. He lived a miserable existence in Paris with other exiles, trying to work out what the f**k happened in the Ukraine. The Bolsheviks screwed the anarchists over, as the anarchist Gregori Maximov writes in "The Guillotine at Work", which describes the red terror campaign against those on the left, Excellent video!
Hello Indy and Team! I've been a fan of the show since late 2016 when one of your videos was randomly recommended to me on RUclips. My question for Out of the Trenches: Is there a plan for making a special episode about the American "Lost Battalion" incident during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in October of 1918? If not could you speak briefly of the event on Out of the Trenches? Keep up the amazing work!
Hi Indie, please do an episode on Vietnamese colonial troops in the french army! Or maybe one about french indochina at the time. I'd love to learn more about it as its almost always glanced over in Vietnamese history.
Avery interesting read on the happenings is the 3rd part of the book 'The Unkown Revolution' by Volin or the official anarchist reading 'The history of the Makhnomovement' by Peter Arshinov (who wrote the official chronicler of the Makhnovshchina). Both were involved in the anarchist movement in the Ukraine and Arshinov was a close trustee of Makhno.
Here are the numbers: Kamerun: 2,5 millions, 1540 whites (1359 Germans) German South-West Africa: 123 600, 14 800 white (12 140 Germans) German East Africa: 7,5 millions, 4870 white (3579 Germans) No number of Germans for Togo
No, no one went to jail for it (von Trotha was an imperial officer, after all, and you didn't send those to jail because of some natives; and he died in 1920), even though the genocidal actions were met with disgust and outrage in Germany at the time. That said, the main reason for the high proportion of Germans is that the region had been sparsely populated before (as opposed to more fertile countries like German East Africa), and that German South-West was the only German colony to attract a substantial amount of German settlers, mostly because of mining and farming.
For anyone interested in the fighting in Africa during the Great War, I can recommend Bryan Farwell's book "The Great War in Africa", which covers the campaigns in Togoland, the Cameroons, German Southwest Africa, and German East Africa.
It just shows how popular the revolutionary sentiment was, and how unpopular the White anti-revolutionary sentiment was. It's just a tragedy that the dialectical materialism of both the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks insisted on the imposition of a one party dictatorship as the manifestation of the hegemony of the exploited classes, rather than allowing the spontaneous, democratic, pluralist expressions represented by the multiple revolutionary parties in the soviets before Lenin annexed the soviets into his bureaucratic rule.
Could you talk about Sevastopol during the war? I know the city has always had a certain matter of importance during most wars such as the Crimean war. Did Germany have Sevastopol as an objective during the war and did Russia attempt to defend the city than most of their citys
Hey Indy and team, I have a question for Out of the Trenches. How were musicians used during The Great War? Were they used like in the Napoleonic wars or were they more just soldiers keeping themselves busy? Also, are there any iconic songs that came from the trenches? Love the show, greetings from Canada!
