[4] During this period, Horelik reported that anarchist propaganda was widespread, particularly in the countryside, with newspapers and books making their way into the hands of many Ukrainian peasants.
[5] In 1918, Horelik opened up correspondence with more than 1,400 villages in Donbas, speculating that a hypothetical anarchist party in the region could count hundreds of thousands of members.
[7] Horelik's anti-intellectualism was later taken up by Peter Arshinov, who in turn blamed theoretical confusion and chronic disorganization for the failures of the Ukrainian anarchist movement, leading him to formulate platformism.
[1] In October 1920, Horelik reported an incident where multiple detachments of the Red Army approached the Nabat leadership and proposed that they seize power in Ukraine, but Volin and other members rejected this, as they believed in the self-organization of the masses.
[10] Months later, the imprisoned leaders of the Nabat staged a hunger strike to attract the attention of syndicalist delegates to the Profintern congress.
