Ivan Yakovych Chornousov

Ivan Yakovych Chornousov (Ukrainian: Іван Якович Чорноусов), also known as Chorny Voron ("Black Raven"), was a participant in the Russian Civil War on the territories of what is now Kyiv and Poltava in modern Ukraine. He is known for his fight against communists ^[1] that he believed supported or took part in the establishment of the power of the Soviet government on the territories of the emerging Ukrainian Republic in 1917–23.^[2] While some consider him to be a national hero, others consider him to simply be a bandit and murderer.^[1] He is a prominent example of the "village otamans" or "greens", local militia leaders, who were characteristic of the time.
