The series tells the story about the life of Nestor Makhno (Pavel Derevyanko) and his Revolutionary Insurgent Army. During the 1905 Russian revolution, he joined the Union of Poor Peasants and carried out a campaign of expropriative anarchism. He was arrested and sent to Butyrka prison, where he received an education from Peter Arshinov (Igor Slavinsky) before being granted amnesty during the February Revolution and released. His first steps were to organize communes in the Huliaipole region, later forming rebel detachments, which eventually grew into the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine and played an influential role in the Russian Civil War. After it was defeated, Makhno fled into exile in France, where he would eventually die.
