Olga Taratuta (January 21, 1876 (possibly 1874 or 1878 ) – February 8, 1938) was a Ukrainian anarcho-communist. She was the founder of the Ukrainian Anarchist Black Cross. == Early life and activism== Taratuta was born Elka Ruvinskaia in the village of Novodmitrovka, near Kherson in Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. Her family was Jewish and her father ran a small shop. Taratuta worked as a teacher after completing her studies. Taratuta was arrested on "political suspicions" in 1895. In 1897 she joined a social democratic group associated with Abram and Iuda Grossman in Ekaterinoslav. Taratuta was a member of the South Russian Union of Workers and the Elizavetgrad committee of the Social-Democratic Party from 1898 and 1901. In 1901 she moved to Germany and then to Switzerland; during this period she worked for the Party organ ''Iskra'' ("Spark") and met Georgi Plekhanov and Vladimir Lenin. In 1903, while in Switzerland, Taratuta became an anarcho-communist. She returned to Odessa in 1904 and joined ''Neprimirimye'' ("The Intransigents"), which was made up of anarchists and other followers of Jan Wacław Machajski. Taratuta was arrested in April 1904, but she was freed for lack of evidence several months later. After her release she joined the Odessa Workers Group of Anarcho-Communists. She began to acquire a reputation as one of the foremost anarchists in Russia. Taratuta was arrested again in October 1905, but she was released during the political amnesty that resulted from that year's Revolution. She joined the militant wing of the South Russian Group of Anarcho-Communists, which used "motiveless terror"—attacks against institutions and representatives of the bourgeoisie, rather than specific individuals. Taratuta was involved in the bomb attack on Odessa's Café Libman in December 1905, for which she was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Taratuta escaped from prison in December 1906 and fled to Geneva, where she joined ''Buntar'' ("The Mutineer") and edited its newspaper, also called ''Buntar''.〔 In late 1907, she returned to Odessa, where she helped plan ''attentats'' against General Aleksandr Kaulbars, the commander of the Odessa military region, and against General Tolmachev, governor of Odessa, and an explosion at the Odessa tribunal. Taratuta was arrested in 1908 in Ekaterinoslav and given a 21-year prison sentence.〔 She was released in March 1917, following the February Revolution. In May 1918, she joined the Political Red Cross, which help imprisoned revolutionaries of all political affiliations. Although she initially kept her distance from the anarchist movement, the growing persecution of anarchists by the Bolshevik government inspired Taratuta to join ''Golos Truda'' ("Voice of Labor") and the ''Nabat'' confederation in June 1920.〔 She returned to Ukraine in September 1920, after the Makhnovists signed a truce with the Soviet government. The Makhnovist commanders gave her 5 million rubles; Taratuta went to Kharkov and used the money to establish the Anarchist Black Cross to provide aid to imprisoned and other persecuted anarchists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olga Taratuta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
