“The Nine Lives of Nestor Makhno” The film “The Nine Lives of Nestor Makhno” is probably the longest biography of an anarchist ever put on the screen – it is 12 parts long. It was filmed in Ukraine about two years ago, but for some reason was only broadcast on Russian state-owned Channel 1 last summer.

Lessons for Anarchists About the Ukraine War from Past Revolutions Jan 24 3 comments Anarchists can learn important lessons in relation to the Ukraine-Russia war by looking at the Spanish revolution of the thirties and the movement against the Vietnam-US war of the sixties. The Failure Of The Russian Revolution Jan 27 0 comments Extracts from anarchist-communist Emma Goldman's classic analysis, as presented in her 1924 "My Further Disillusionment with Russia." Goldman argued clearly that the Russian Revolution's end, in a new one-party dictatorship and new elite ruling a highly unequal society, could not be excused as a simple degeneration caused by external pressures of imperialist intervention and economic crisis (the view of defenders of the Communist Party). It also could not be explained as the inevitable result of class-based revolution that overthrew parliament and private property (the view of liberals). The programme and actions of the Communist Party, based on building a centralised state run by a single centralised party and repression, crushed democratic bottom-up proletarian and peasant initiative and self-management, worsened the economic situation, and destroyed the revolution from within. The revolution itself was actually very democratic and egalitarian, not by its nature dictatorial, and this placed it in a fatal struggle with Bolshevik / Communist rule. Revolution, to succeed, needs a total "transvaluation" of values to a "libertarian spirit" that rejects authoritarianism, and bottom-up "economic" mobilisation of the masses through steps like anarcho-syndicalism and co-operatives, that place decisions in the hands of the grassroots masses. "Means" must match "ends," and ethics and action must always be consistently based on libertarian, just principles: "Today is the parent of tomorrow. " The Story of the Makhnovists and the Anarchist Revolution in the Ukraine, 1918-1921 Jan 16 0 comments The mass “Makhnovist” (anarchist) movement emerged in 1917 in Ukraine, a colonial country in East Europe that was until then divided between the Russian and Austrian (or Austro-Hungarian) Empires. The Makhnovists made an anarchist revolution. The anarchists were a central force in the 1917-1921 Ukrainian War of Independence.

Spring zu Komment: 1 2 3that's a very interesting review! i think it's quite exciting that they showed such a docu on russian tv, even though not everything is correct in there. but at least makhno wasn't being portrayed as the bad guy. that's cool!
is there any chance to get a version of it with english subtitles? i'm really keen on watching it now. and i'm sure i'm not the only one..
"...He may not be bright enough to talk the talk of intellectuals, but he does understand the people and is able to communicate with them effectively and lead the popular struggle against all kinds of oppressors. He is a down-to-earth, no-bullshit man, but he is also full of peasant wit and wisdom..."
This actually reminds me of Kropotkin's portrayal of Marat in The Great French Revolution.
This review was a pleasure to read. I had heard such a documentary was being made, but had yet to read an account from an actual viewer. I too hope for the opportunity to read the subtitled dialog (since, at the rate my Spanish studies are going, I am unlikely to be fluent in Russian soon).
Oh, and actual footage of Makhno can be found on youtube as well.
Hooray! The English subtitles for The Nine Lives of Nestor Makhno English are in progress: https://archive.org/details/01.dvdripsvat.en , with a link to the Anarkismo review.
