"Modern Makhnovists continue the struggle",
shared yesterday by the antiauthoritarian "Resistance Committee" in Ukraine resisting far-right authoritarian Putin's imperialist aggression.

It's a reference to the "Free Territory" a.k.a. "Anarchist Ukraine" or as preferred by its pro-authoritarianism opponents "Makhnovshchina", an actively antagonist propaganda phrasing which unfortunately but expectedly has been adopted by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makhnovshchina Wikipedia although that article was previously found under just "Free Territory".
Here's some stuff on that:

For even more on the Free Territory and indeed the Soviet Revolution usurped by authoritarian "communists" (thereby dooming the originally libertarian socialist revolution to slow failure) as described by the inventor of the Soviets, the anarchist Volin, see the excellent autobiography "The Unknown Revolution, 1917-1921":
