Biography

Born in 1889 in the village Grigorievka of the Alexandrovsky Uyezd in a poor family. He worked as a blacksmith and a locomotive driver on the Catherine railway.

In 1905, he became an anarcho-communist and in 1917, a member of the Gulyaypole group of anarchists, joining the Makhnovists.

In 1918, after the German Empire occupied Huliaipole and Nestor Makhno left for Russia, Chubenko became the commissar of the Tsarevo-Kostantinovka railway junction, was arrested by the Germans, and sentenced to death by the Petliurites, but he fled during the execution. Until June 1918, in the direction of Vikzheldor, he worked at the Yamskaya station of the Kursk Oblast.[1] From December 1918 to March 1919 he was chief of staff and commander of a Makhnovist detachment. From March to July 1919, he was a diplomat in the Makhnovshchina and the chairman of many commissions negotiated with Dybenko on the conclusion of an alliance.[2][3] In March 1919, after the occupation of Mariupol by the Makhnovists, he took part in negotiations with the French representatives of the Entente on the transfer of coal from the port to the French.[4] From August to September he was a member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Insurrectionary Army and an exposer of Nikifor Grigoriev. From September to December 1919, he acted as the chairman of the diplomatic commission for concluding an agreement with Symon Petliura at the Zhmerinka station on September 20, 1919,[5] adjutant to Makhno, army treasurer and head of the army subversive team.[6]

From January to September 1920 he was in the Butyrka prison. In December 1920, he was the chief of staff of the Brova detachment. From January to April 1921 he went underground, when in April he finally broke with the Makhnovshchina and went over to the side of the Soviet Union.

In 1930 he was alive and non-partisan.[7][1]
