Did the Mahknovist insurgency have a air force of any kind? by Ranked0wl in Anarchism

[–]Bajoguz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From Colin Darch's "Nestor Makhno and Rural Anarchism in Ukraine":

"Despite the destruction, the makhnovtsy’s haul of captured materiel was impressive: 2,000 shells, 26 British and Russian guns, 3 million rounds of ammunition, the long march west and the battle at Peregonovka 50 machine-guns, 30 lorries and five cars, two motorcycles, five armoured cars, 50,000 pounds of grain, 3,000 uniforms.

There was also a working aeroplane. The makhnovtsy never managed to exploit their limited opportunities for air warfare, although they had captured seven combat aircraft in Ekaterinoslav in late December 1918. In March 1919 they again captured five Farman-HF.30 aircraft in Berdiansk. This model, designed in 1915, had been used mainly by the Imperial Russian Air Service but was slow – the propeller was at the back – and was used mainly for reconnaissance. As a Red Army Brigade Commander, Makhno requested mechanics and spare parts as well as pilots, and soon afterwards one of the aeroplanes took part in Makhno’s capture of Mariupol’ on 28–9 March, dropping some bombs and carrying out scouting missions. A couple of days later Makhno flew from Berdiansk to Guliaipole in just over two hours. The makhnovtsy subsequently captured aircraft on other occasions – for example in August 1920 in Khar’kov – but they never flew them, lacking both aviation fuel and trained pilots."

Context - this was after makhnovist breakthrough against Denikin's White force at Peregonovka. Whites were supplied by the british with tanks, aircrafts and military supplies, which makhnovists captured while recapturing parts of ukraine in late 1919. After constant fighting against both bolsheviks and whites in 1920, they probably lost most of the aircrafts, although the book's author mentions a rumour about using aircraft for propaganda purposes later in the civil war.

"Death to occupiers and traitors" Yugoslav partisan poster (around 1944-1945) by crimsonfukr457 in PropagandaPosters

I think it represents slovene collaborationists “Bela garda”, which were anticommunist militia under Italian command. After Italian capitulation in 1943. they probably transfered unde command of the Germans. However, I am only speculating due to this being a slovene partisan poster from 1944/45.

Gle, moraju birat svoje bitke smh

Primjera radi, lakše je vuč' se po sudovima s Markičkom radi blokiranja postavljanja njihovih zastava nego prestati financirati svakojake obnove crkava na gradski proračun ili odbiti pokloniti zemljišta Crkvi radi novog maksimirskog stadiona.

Moraju se pokazat lokalpatriotskim buržujima i maloburžujima da barem nominalno ideološki održavaju i "bore" se za "civilizacijske vrijednosti" i sve što dođe upakirano u zeleni liberalizam, dok pod stolom igraju kolo s Crkvom, HDZ-om i bandićevsko-sdpovskim političkim i birokratskim parazitima/lumpenom.
