      <description><![CDATA["The real war is about to begin." Nestor Makhno said it to exhausted, outnumbered men who had done nothing but run for four months.

What happened next, over the last days of September 1919, would be remembered by White officers with two flat words: "It's over." This quiet country of ravines and river forests witnessed one of the true turning points of the Russian Civil War.]]></description>
