"Once a Bolshevik parliamentarian by the name of Polonsky was executed at Makhnovist headquarters. Many members of the general staff were unhappy with this.
Voline arrived at the headquarters, & when he heard what had happened he asked: "What does Batko [Makhno] think? If he says it was the right thing to do I won't go into the issue."
Makhno was sitting in the next room & had got tipsy. When he heard his comrades talking he came in & went
up to Voline: "So you don't give a damn that a man has just been shot? You don't even ask why he was executed! As long as Batko approves it's alright, huh? But a man can make mistakes, can't he, especially when he's drunk. What do you say to that, eh?"
Voline decided it was prudent not to answer.
Thugs with badges break down doors, destroy personal property, printing presses, books, etc. Palmer orders Justice Department raids on meeting halls & homes in 30 cities nationwide.
None of the 2,700 people arrested are charged with any explicit crime. In all, more than 6,000 are arrested.
