Despite massive bombardment and with Russian troops just a stone's throw away, morale remains high in a Ukrainian town that draws inspiration from the memory of a local anarchist hero. In Gulyaipole, replete with red and yellow tulips and an old-fashioned charm, the thunder of bombs exploding nearby is a constant reminder of the proximity of the fighting even as most of its 16,000 inhabitants have fled. "Gulyaipole has held out and will always do so," insists the town's mayor Serguey Yarmak, saying that the town draws inspiration from its most famous son, Nestor Makhno, a charismatic anarchist who led a peasant guerrilla war against the German and Austrian troops occupying Ukraine after October 1917.
