Order of Red Banner #2.

Gentlemen,

Yesterday I watched a new Russian movie about WWII “Penalty Battalion” (Shtrafnoi Batalion). It is very interesting movie, and I would recommend people who speak Russian to see it.

There was an interesting fact from this movie. (I am not sure if it’s correct). The Order of Red Banner #2 was awarded to Nestor Ivanovich Makhno

.

For people who are not sure who was Makhno: The Makhnovist movement was named after Nestor Makhno, a Ukrainian anarchist who played a key role in the movement from the start. Indeed, Makhnoshchina literally means "Makhno movement" and his name is forever linked with the revolution in the South-East of the Ukraine.
