English: A black flag with a skull and crossbones and the slogan in Ukrainian, "Death to all who stand in the way of freedom for the working people."

It was erroneously believed to have been one of the main flags of Nestor Makhno's Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine, since it was first labelled a "Makhnovist banner" in the 1926 book "Jewish Pogroms: 1918–1921" by Z.S. Ostrovsky (under Section VIII, "Pogromists.")

In 1927, Makhno himself published an article in Delo Truda, denying allegations that his forces committed pogroms, and asserted that the skull and bones flag had no connection to his army.

In 2022, in the article "Anarchy's False Flag", the historian Sean Patterson identified the true origin of the banner to be that of the Dnipro Division, led by the Ukrainian insurgent otaman Svyryd Kotsur.
