Also where can I read about makhno/his party a bit? There's not many ancom revolutions, so I'd like to know a lil about it
ugggh I went on a big binge of sources at one point in original Russian/Ukrainian. I couldn't tell you all the names I read but Volin was a big one and he was pretty critical of Makhno despite ostensibly being on his side. Makhno had some cool moments like shooting a major pogromist leader in the head, stepping up on his body and giving a speech decrying anti-Semitism. iirc Volin found this a bit gauche despite being a radical Jew himself.
There were some women Volin mentioned who disliked Makhno for being a male chauvinist and I went and read up on them and they actually led some anarchist garrisons that later joined the Red Army without conflict and lived till the 60s or something. Most of the exiles were kinda assholes that decided to keep fighting the Red Army despite considerable concessions given to the majority of the Black Army that did join the Red Army, including regional autonomy rights which were the big reason the whole thing went down.
