Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Iliya Hordev (Шаблон:Lang-uk; Шаблон:Lang-yi), commonly known as Isaac Teper (Шаблон:Lang-uk; Шаблон:Lang-yi), was a Ukrainian Jewish anarchist, who became a leading member of the Nabat and the Makhnovist movement in 1920. His account of the movement's history, published in 1924, provided a key primary source for historiography about the movement.

Biography

In April 1920, a Nabat meeting in Kharkiv resolved to renew their participation in the Makhnovist movement and dispatched a three-man delegation to the insurgent command.Шаблон:Sfn Teper, along with Aron Baron and Yakiv Sukhovolski, linked up with the insurgent command. But they quickly came into conflict with the military leadership, with one case of an argument between Teper and Dmitry Popov ending with Popov threatening to have Teper killed.Шаблон:Sfn

In August 1920, Nestor Makhno met with Teper and tasked him with securing an agreement with the Ukrainian Soviet government against the Army of Wrangel.Шаблон:Sfn The next month, he attended a Nabat conference in Kharkiv, where Baron passed an anti-Makhnovist resolution.Шаблон:Sfn Nevertheless, by October 1920, the Starobilsk agreement between the Makhnovists and the Bolsheviks was ratified, securing the release of Nabat members from prison.Шаблон:Sfn During the brief period of armistice between the two factions, Teper oversaw the publication of The Makhnovist Voice (Шаблон:Lang-uk) in Kharkiv.Шаблон:Sfnm Dmitry Popov, an opponent of the agreement with the Bolsheviks, published a series of anti-Bolshevik articles in the paper.Шаблон:Sfn According to Teper, Popov was a staunch anti-communist and had set himself the goal of killing 300 communists, but only managed to kill 200 before his own death.Шаблон:Sfn

On 26 November 1920, the leadership of the Nabat was arrested in Kharkiv.Шаблон:Sfnm Teper was captured by the Cheka and wrote a book about his experiences in prison,Шаблон:Sfn likely supervised by the Cheka.Шаблон:Sfnm In his book, Teper rejected allegations that Nestor Makhno was a Ukrainian nationalist and an antisemite,Шаблон:Sfnm largely attributing cases of antisemitism within the Insurgent Army to units with criminal or nationalist inclinations.Шаблон:Sfn He also detailed a case when Makhno insisted that an insurgent, charged with having raped a woman, be shot. But the tribunal narrowly voted to relieve him from command and place him on the front, where he died shortly thereafter.Шаблон:Sfn His criticisms for the movement were largely reserved for his own former organisation - the Nabat - which he claimed to be the real director of the Makhnovshchina, even depicting Aron Baron as the movement's dictator.Шаблон:Sfn In historiography, the book has been valued for its reprinting of the Starobilsk agreement.Шаблон:Sfn Teper's account was later criticised in Soviet historiography, with Teper being accused of attempting to rehabilitate Makhno.Шаблон:Sfn
