And to put it into perspective, that still makes his army as one of the least antisemitic forces in the civil war (excluding bolsheviks od course). For example when Poles fought with Ukrainians in western Ukraine basically whomever won celebrated victory by doing pogrom.
Polish propaganda about that is especially disgusting:
We attacked Ukraine - based. Also bolsheviks bad.
We used child soldiers because our military is incompetent and Ukrainians for some reason defended themselves - based kids heroes. Also bolsheviks bad.
Ukrainians kills our child soldiers while our commanders count buttons on their coats - uhh, what, i can’t hear you over the cheering for the little heroes. Also bolsheviks bad.
We defeat Ukrainians and immediately do a pogrom - crickets. Also bolsheviks bad.
He was also accused of pogroms of Jews. Idk if he personally ordered it, but there were pogromists in his forces and he was aware of that.
Ouch, that’s a low even for an anarchist
