'''Panteleimon Fedorovich Belochub '''was an
|
||
[anarchist](Anarchism "wikilink"), [Black
|
||
Army](Black_Army_\(Ukraine\) "wikilink") commander and
|
||
[farmer](Agriculture "wikilink").
|
||
|
||
## Life
|
||
|
||
Born into a peasant family in rural Ukraine, he became an anarchist who
|
||
sympathised with the [Bolsheviks](Bolsheviks "wikilink") in
|
||
[1917](February_Revolution_\(Russia\) "wikilink"), and joined the [Black
|
||
Army of Ukraine](Black_Army_\(Ukraine\) "wikilink") in 1919 and
|
||
commanded a horse artillery unit. He helped defeated Red Army units at
|
||
the battle of Stepovaya, and was arrested by the
|
||
[Kontrrazvedka](Kontrrazvedka "wikilink") for conspiracy to assasinate
|
||
[Makhno](Nestor_Makhno "wikilink") but was later released. He helped
|
||
defeat the White Army at the battle of Wrangel in 1920 and deserted the
|
||
Makhnovists in February 1921, giving himself up to the Bolsheviks for
|
||
amnesty.
|
||
|
||
He returned to his native village and worked as a farmer and became
|
||
chair of the village council. He was invited to the underground Nabat
|
||
conference in Kharkov, but it was sabotaged by an unknown person
|
||
([Viktor Belash](Viktor_Belash "wikilink") is suspected) and turned into
|
||
the Cheka, leading to 70 anarchists being arrested. Pantaleimon tried to
|
||
find other anarchists in 1927 across Ukraine, and met Belochub and
|
||
Avraam Budanov, who were highly suspicious of him. But they agreed and
|
||
distributed anarchist pamphlets to workers and peasants in Ukraine,
|
||
being arrested for it in 1928, and Pantaleimon was executed by firing
|
||
squad in 1929.<ref>
