History
Emilian Makhno was the eldest of five children,[1] left in his mother's care after his father died in 1890.[2] In 1903, Emilian got married and started a family of his own.[3] With the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, Emilian was drafted into the Imperial Russian Army and was wounded during the conflict, leaving him almost blind.[4]
In the wake of the February Revolution, he was reunited with his brother Nestor, following the latter's release from prison.[5] But with the occupation of Huliaipole by the Central Powers, the disabled Emilian was shot by the Austro-Hungarian Army[6] in front of his wife and children,[4] apparently having been mistaken for Nestor.[7]
