Nazarii Zuichenko
Ukrainian anarchist militant (1888–1938)
Nazarii Semenovych Zuichenko (Ukrainian: Назарій Семенович Зуйченко; 1888–1938) was a Ukrainian anarchist militant.
Biography
In 1888, Nazarii Semenovych Zuichenko was born in the southern Ukrainian village of Huliaipole, where he worked as a copper metallurgist.
In the wake of the 1905 Revolution, Zuichenko joined the Union of Poor Peasants, a libertarian communist group established in Huliaipole by Voldemar Antoni. He met the young Nestor Makhno through the amateur theatre group they both performed in and brought him into the anarchist group, in which he became a prominent member.
Following a series of robberies committed by the group, during which he set fire to property of the Russian nobility, Zuichenko was tracked down in Katerynoslav and arrested by the police. In prison, he confessed to his participation in the group, identifying both Antoni and Voldemar as confidants. His testimony, which detailed their plot to assassinate the local police chief and move their activities to Katerynoslav, provided the prosecution with the evidence necessary to take the anarchists to trial. During their pre-trial hearing, while the other defendants retracted their own confessions, Zuichenko repeated his, leading to many of them being sentenced to capital punishment. But Zuichenko himself allegedly contracted typhus and was not able to stand trial.
Zuichenko survived until the 1917 Revolution, when he was reunited with Makhno and together ignited an insurrection against the Ukrainian authorities.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ukrainian anarchist militant (1888–1938). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115525350. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1888, 1938, 1905 and 1917.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
