 On August 26, we fought another battle, in which we lost our beloved fighters and

comrades, Petrenko-Platonov and Ivanyuk. Nestor Makhno (refers to the "History of
the Makhnovit movement" by Piotr Arshinov). ---- Ivanyuk was born somewhere in
the province of Poltava, but we do not know the time. By 1917 he had become an
anarchist and in the spring of 1919 he was a member of the Nabat Anarchist
Confederation in Poltava. In May of the same year he joined the Makhnovit
movement. In mid-October 1919 he was appointed commander of a unit of 150
fighters with 3 machine guns. He and other Makhnovites fought in the Kharkiv
province in a deliberate move aimed at crushing Denikin's forces from behind.

He fought against the forces of White General Denikin until December 1919, when
his unit was disarmed by the Red Army. In 1920 he organized detachments that
fought the Bolsheviks, while at the same time collaborating with the unit of
another Makhnovite, Matvienko. He strongly opposed the new alliance with the
Bolsheviks in the autumn of 1920, but unlike others - such as Kamenev (Kameniuk),
Fomin and Parkhomenko - did not leave the Makhnovites.

On November 16, 1920, he spoke at a meeting in Konstantinograd, calling for the
formation of units of volunteer Makhnovites. After the fraudulent end of the
alliance by the Bolsheviks, he took part in a guerrilla struggle against them.
His units collaborated with the main forces of the Makhnovites and participated
in the winter campaign as an infantry commander. In March 1921 he was sent with
his regiment to the Kharkiv region to organize new units. In May he was operating
with a unit of 500 fighters in the province of Poltava.

On June 18, he rejoined the main Makhnovit forces, but later refused to accept a
decision by the staff to leave Poltava province. Thus, from the beginning of
July, it operated independently. However, in battles with the Red Army on July
22-23, he was destroyed and defeated and he and about a hundred of his comrades
went underground. On August 14, he collaborated with the remaining Makhno corps
and fell fightingin the last major battle fought by the Makhnovites in Kherson
County.
