"Nestor Makhno has been called a revolutionary anarchist, a peasant rebel, the Ukrainian
Robin Hood, a mass-murderer, a pogromist, and a devil. These epithets had their origins
in the Russian Civil War (1917-1921), where the military forces of the peasant-anarchist
Nestor Makhno and Mennonite colonists in southern Ukraine came into conflict. In autumn
1919, Makhnovist troops and local peasant sympathizers murdered more than 800 Mennonites
in a series of large-scale massacres. The history of that conflict has been fraught
with folklore, ideological battles and radically divergent cultural memories, in which
fact and fiction often seamlessly blend, conjuring a multitude of Makhnos, each one
shouting its message over the other. Drawing on theories of collective memory and
narrative analysis, Makhno and Memory brings a vast array of Makhnovist and Mennonite
sources into dialogue, including memoirs, histories, diaries, newspapers, and archival
material. A diversity of perspectives are brought into relief through the personal
reminiscences of Makhno and his anarchist sympathizers alongside Mennonite pacifists
and advocates for armed self-defense. Through a meticulous analysis of the Makhnovist-Mennonite
conflict and a micro-study of the Eichenfeld massacre of October 1919, Sean Patterson
attempts to make sense of the competing cultural memories and presents new ways of
thinking about Makhno and his movement. Makhno and Memory offers a convincing reframing
of the Mennonite/Makhno relationship that will force a scholarly reassessment of this
period."
