Maria Nikiforova The revolution without delay

This is the story of the anarchist woman partisan in the Ukraine who influenced the Makhnovist revolt. A very independent spirit, who did not waver to not agree with Makhno in some cases. The book addresses the always relevant questions around the conflict between waging war and creating revolution, creating a common front, and where revolution falls short. The Ukrainian anarchist Maria Nikiforova (1885–1919) started from humble origins and, improbably, became a ferocious military commander who was captured and executed by her sworn enemies, the Whites.
