Mahkno and present day Ukraine

[RedStaredRevolution]

So I'm going to be going to Ukraine over the summer for about 3 weeks. I just figured i would try and find out before hand how most of the people there view Nestor Makhno. Just to be safe should I avoid the subject of him or do the people there like him?

RO told me that he's a national hero there but I coulden't find anything about this on the web so i thought i'd ask you guys :)

I think it depends on the persons politics there- though a rightist from Ukraine would obviously be more prone to acknowledge him as a good man than a rightist from the US or England.

I have heard that the Ukrainian population loves Makhno, but this is hearsay.
