1st Zadneprovsk Ukrainian Soviet Division
The 1st Zadneprovskaya Ukrainian Soviet Division was a military unit of the Ukrainian Soviet Army during the Russian Civil War. History Formation On January 26, 1919, a special detachment under the command of Pavel Dybenko, the commander of the 7th Sumy Regiment of the 2nd Ukrainian Soviet Division, captured the city of Katerynoslav during the offensive of the Ukrainian Front. The front was to continue its advance south. The position of the peasantry in the central and southern regions of Ukraine was of decisive importance in this situation. In addition the Katerynoslav railway was of strategic importance as it was the only one in the steppe Ukraine, and therefore the question of control over it was extremely acute. Local rebel groups were located just near this railway. On January 27, Dybenko and his chief of staff Sergey Ivanovich Petrikovsky were urgently summoned to Kharkiv by the commander of the Ukrainian Front, Vladimir Antonov-Ovseyenko. Antonov-Ovseenko ordered Dybe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The organization had responsibility for counterintelligence, oversight of the loyalty of the Red Army, and protection of the country's borders, as well ...

Starobilsk Agreement
The Starobilsk agreement was a 1920 political and military alliance between the Makhnovshchina, an anarchist mass movement led by Nestor Makhno's Insurgent Army, and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which the Bolsheviks had established as the government of Ukraine. The agreement was reached following the resurgence of the White movement in Ukraine, which forced the warring Bolshevik and Makhnovist factions to put aside their differences and work together against their common enemy. Its political clauses extended a number of civil liberties to the previously repressed Ukrainian anarchist movement, while its military clauses subordinated the Insurgent Army to the high command of the Red Army. The agreement was effective from October to November 1920. Following the Soviet victory over the Whites at the siege of Perekop, the Red Army attacked the Makhnovists, bringing an end to the agreement and igniting a conflict between the two factions that would last until the comp ...

Fast Draw
Fast draw, also known as quick draw, is the ability to quickly draw a handgun and accurately fire it upon a target in the process. This skill was made popular by romanticized depictions of gunslingers in the Western genre, which in turn were inspired by famous historical gunfights in the American Old West. In modern times, fast draw can be seen both in sports and in military practices. The World Fast Draw Association (WFDA) is the international sanctioning body of the sport of fast draw. Unlike cowboy action shooting, fast draw is shot with special blanks or wax bullets. While some competitions are strictly against the clock, with the fastest time winning, many are set up as head-to-head single- or double-elimination matches. History The object of fast draw as a combative sport is to quickly draw one's pistol and fire with the most accuracy. The sport has been inspired by accounts of duels and gunfights which incorporated it during the Wild West, such as the Hickok–Tutt ...

Green Armies
The Green armies (), also known as the Green Army (Зелёная Армия, ''Zelonaya Armiya'') or Greens (Зелёные, ''Zelonyye''), were armed peasant groups which fought against all governments in the Russian Civil War from 1918 to 1922. The Green armies were semi-organized local militias that opposed the Bolsheviks, Whites, and foreign interventionists, and fought to protect their communities from requisitions or reprisals carried out by third parties. The Green armies were politically and ideologically neutral, but at times associated with the Socialist-Revolutionary Party. The Green armies had at least tacit support throughout much of Russia. However, their primary base, the peasantry, were largely reluctant to wage an active campaign during the Russian Civil War and, with an impending Bolshevik victory, dissolved in 1922. Background The Russian peasantry lived through two wars against the Russian state, the product of revolutions that ended with state victory: ...
