blackguardsとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Black Guards (Russian: Чёрная Гвардия, 'Chёrnaya Gvardiya') were armed groups of workers formed after the Russian Revolution and before the Third Russian Revolution. They were the main strike force of the anarchists. They were created in the autumn of 1917 in Ukraine by Maria Nikiforova and in January 1918 in Moscow, under the control of anarchists at industrial enterprises by Factory and Plant Committees and by Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups cells. In the beginning of 1918, in reaction to the growing repression of all opposition and free expression, the anarchist groups within the Moscow Federation formed armed detachments, the Black Guards headed by Lev Chernyi. The Black Guards were the basis for the later formation of the Black Army. Hence, the term is often used as an English synonym for the Black Army when referring to the era of the Third Russian Revolution and Russian Civil War.
