It looks like a first reaction of someone who fed up with legit attempts to marry anarchism with nationalism. Unfortunately I saw so much drawings of Makhno with modern Ukrainian flag on his clothes that I can understand this reaction

I mean, it would be one thing if this was a reaction to something like "here's an article on why national-anarchism is good actually" (it's not). However it's just an angry reaction to a documentary which has pretty much nothing to do with what black_badger wrote. Getting mad at old people in a destroyed town for not having a perfectly anarchist view of Makhno is a little weird.

Although I agree that Makhno became popular even outside of anarchist circles (and no it didn't start just in the past year, it's been a thing for a while) and sometimes there were attempts to appropriate him. I've seen even Islamists use his name lol (look up the Makhno group within Sheikh Mansour batallion).
