Abstract: The activity of Ukrainian political forces on the territory of Russia during the era of the Civil War (1918-1922) is one of the topical and little-studied topics of modern historiography. The most influential and well-known political organizations of that time included the Confederation of Anarchist Organizations of Ukraine "Nabat". At the end of 1918-1920. She managed to consolidate the anarchist movement in her ranks on the territory of the Ukrainian SSR and neighboring regions of the RSFSR. The ideologists of the "Alarm" (A.D. Baron, V.M. Volin et al.) formulated the socio-political concept of "unified anarchism", which synthesized the main provisions of the most influential anarchist political doctrines (anarchist communism, anarcho-syndicalism and anarchist individualism) and created the ideological prerequisites for uniting the majority of anarchists. The Makhnovist movement turned out to be under the ideological influence of the Nabatovists. They took leading positions in his political, propaganda and partly military structures. The published documents reveal various aspects of the activities aimed at transforming Nabat from a Ukrainian to an all-Russian organization of anarchists, show the main aspects of the political strategy of the Nabatovites, the structural features of their organization, attitude to terrorism and other methods of political struggle.
