Nestor Makhno was a Ukrainian anarchist revolutionary and the commander of the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine, also known as Makhnovtchina (translated as "Makhno movement") or the Anarchist Black Army because they fought under the anarchist black flag. They protected the operation of "free soviets" and libertarian communes in the Free Territory, an attempt to form a stateless anarcho-communist society from 1918 to 1921. Makhnovists communities were administered by autonomous peasants' and workers' councils at the local level. At its formation, the Black Army consisted of about 15,000 armed troops, including infantry, cavalry brigades, and artillery detachments were incorporated

Makhno and the movement's leadership were anarcho-communists and attempted to guide the movement along these ideological lines. Makhno was aggressively opposed to all factions that sought to impose their authority over southern Ukraine. He is also credited as the inventor of the Tachanka, a horse-drawn carriage with a mounted heavy machine gun. Makhno and his supporters attempted to reorganize social and economic life along anarchist lines, including the establishment of communes on former landed estates, the requisition and egalitarian redistribution of land to the peasants, and the organization of free elections to local soviets (councils) and regional congresses. Makhno also played an important role in the development of platformism and the debates around the 1926 Organizational Platform of the General Union of Anarchists.
