The Defeat of the Anarchist Movement in Soviet Ukraine (1927–1929)

Abstract

This article focuses on debunking the myth of historiography that the anarchist organization in Ukraine in 1927–1929 years did not exist. In the large industrial centers
(Odesa, Kharkiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovs’k), anarchist ideas had a following among students and young workers, some anarchist groups were not associated with tradi­tional anarchist structures. In 1927 soviet dictator elite decided to launch a complete destruction of anarchist groups, which led to the elimination of anarchist underground
in the USSR.
