About eight days later the 8th Soviet regiment arrived. The band departed and then the regiment began to loot— almost exclusively Jews; but they did not kill anyone, except Petlurists. They remained eight or nine days, and Volynetz appeared again (at this time his capital was in the village of Monastyrische); this time he did not kill Jews (he said he saw by this time that the Jews were not interfering in politics), but levied a contribution. There was some looting also. The 1st Soviet regiment arrived, and Volynetz again departed (early in June). The regiment remained three weeks; all the time drunkenness and looting were rife. The Jews were referred to only as "Zhidy"; and Christian communists were killed. The commander of the regiment was a student, a man of good intentions, but could not control his soldiers. Once he himself shot a soldier who was intending to violate a Jewish girl. The soldiers went from house to house, looting and destroying. On June 27 the regiment departed, and on the next day Volynetz came in again (he was waiting in Ternovka, and telephoned to the commander: "You leave, and I will arrive"). Some of the people, among them the narrator, immediately fled from the town. For the most part those who were slain were the young men, but also not a few older ones, and even women, were killed.
Gaisin is located not far from the boundary of the government of Kiev, about 60 versts from Uman. It has about 24,000 inhabitants, of whom about half are Jews.
