Title: Izrail Abramovich (Fishelevich) Shornik Author: Anatoly Dubovik Language: en Topics: Ukraine, Soviet Union, biography Source: Retrieved on 4th June 2022 from https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/pk0qsq Notes: Translated by Malcolm Archibald.
Izrail Abramovich (Fishelevich) Shornik (aka Shornik-Supornik) was born
on June 9, 1900, in Dvinsk, Vitebsk province. From early youth he lived
in Odessa, where he worked as a tailor. An anarchist from 1917, he took
part in both the legal and underground activities of the Odessa
Federation of Anarchists in 1917–1921, in opposition to all the regimes
controlling Odessa: the Provisional Government, Ukrainian nationalists,
foreign interventionists, Denikinists, and Bolsheviks.
In the 1920s, Shornik continued to work as a tailor and participate in
the illegal activities of the Odessa anarchists. He was arrested for the
first time in 1922 for refusal of military service due to his
anti-militarist convictions. Then in 1924 he was arrested when the
anarchist underground was liquidated. During these years, the repression
of the state was not too severe for him, but it affected his ability to
earn a living: he was often fired and remained unemployed for months at
a time.
His next arrest was on June 13, 1927, in connection with the destruction
of an illegal anarchist organization, and he ended up in exile in the
Narym region (central Siberia). While living in the village of Parabel,
Shornik conducted correspondence with Olga Taratuta and other comrades.
Upon the end of his period of exile in 1930, he was prohibited from
returning to Odessa for three years, and settled in Samara, where he
stayed in touch with the anarchist emigration abroad.
In 1933 Shornik returned to Odessa and was soon involved again in the
activities of the city’s anarchist underground. Upon the final
liquidation of the underground organization in 1937, he was again
arrested, and on December 8, 1937, he was sentenced to be shot.
