Experience a lost chapter of Ukrainian history through this remarkable historical novel, “Under Black Banners: Feodosiy Shchus and the Long Fight for Ukrainian Freedom.” Written by Nikodym Pliczkowsky a survivor of the Ukrainian Revolution, the Holodomor, and World War II, this rediscovered manuscript offers an unparalleled firsthand account of Ukraine’s struggle for independence in the early 20th century. Through the story of Feodosiy Shchus, a sailor turned revolutionary leader, readers witness the complex world of the Makhnovist movement and Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty—a struggle that eerily mirrors current events.
From Sean Patterson, author of Makhno and Memory: Anarchist and Mennonite Narratives of Ukraine’s Civil War, 1917–1921
” ‘Under Black Banners’ is an immersive retelling of Ukraine’s years of revolution and struggle for independence in the early 20th century. While fictional in form, the author’s status as an eyewitness lends gravity to the events he describes. Told through the eyes of the famous Makhnovist anarchist Feodosiy Shchus, a complicated and ultimately tragic story is delivered with passion and purpose. Pliczkowsky probes questions of local and national identity, autonomy, and ideology. As Ukraine once again faces an existential struggle along the very same front lines the reader encounters in Under Black Banners, the book’s publication is as timely as it is thought-provoking.”
