lol... now the Pravda, Ukraine's counterpart to Russia's notorious fake news outlet of same name, is engaged at pandering on anarchists, too? WTF was I mistaken and we're a bigger crowd than I thought?

There has actually been an extensive appropriation of Makhno by the nationalists and the government in Ukraine for a long time, it is not at all uncommon to find the Makhnovite legacy being abused for statist and nationalist purposes. Here is a good and extensive text on this subject from 2006 by the people from SAU : https://web.archive.org/web/20220706154455/https://www.azarov.net/compr…

Thanks for the infos. It's pretty clear by now that there are indeed many Ukrainian "anarchists" being honestly seeing fascism, Neonazism and more generally nationalism as not contradictory with anarchist goals.

i.e. syncretins

Some people are really just sloppy and prefer going for the "solutions" pushed onto them by cultists.

for what it's worth I don't see any pandering towards anarchists in the article. the original article doesn't even mention Makhno in the title

Makhno fought for the "Ukrainian War of Independence" now? Shameful behavior going on here.
