The Nabat Confederation of Anarchist Organizations, better known simply as Nabat (Набат), was an anarchist organization that came to prominence in Ukraine during the years 1918 to 1920. The area where it held the most influence is sometimes referred to as the Free Territory, though Nabat had branches in all of the major cities in southern Ukraine. "Nabat" is a Russian/Ukrainian word meaning tocsin, or an alarm drum. The group published a newspaper by the same name.
In 1917, the February revolution led to the abdication of the Tsar, Nicholas II of Russia. The loss of a central government and ruling power led to the creation of a vast number of new groups and organizations who attempted to fill the power vacuum. After the abdication of the Tsarist government, a committee of Duma members swiftly created the Russian Provisional Government. The provisional government almost immediately found itself sharing power with a new assembly, the Petrograd Soviet.
On April 16, 1917, Vladimir Lenin returned to Russia from exile from Europe and added a new element to the nation. Being the leader of the Bolsheviks, Lenin held an important position in Russia. The Bolsheviks began to struggle for power with other factions, including the provisional government, liberals, royalists, democratic socialists, and Mensheviks. As the months went by, the Bolsheviks continued to gain power.
Nabat (Azerbaijani: Nabat) is a 2014 Azerbaijani drama film directed by Elchin Musaoglu. The story is set during the Karabagh War and revolves around an old, sick ex-forestry worker and his wife Nabat whose son has died in battle. They live in a small isolated house far from the nearest village but to which Nabat has to go every couple of days to sell milk from their only cow. As war approaches ever closer the village is slowly deserted and following her husband's death, Nabat is left all alone to fend for herself.

A drop of love, in rain falling, lighting up my
darkness
His light becomes weaker, infinite ocean of stars...
Far away from a dream...
Now alone I wake, hidden in every corner
Blinded to my dreams, looking for my angel
Knowing not where my dreams are flying
Finding not anymore white or gold wings
Angels sing come take my ashes
Wings to dust, lost heart...
Leaving back the ways leading to the sunrise
Night takes in the lorn, await me...
Angels sing come take my ashes
Wings to dust, lost heart...
Queen of darkness, queen of night
I walk in sadness blinded by my fears
Emerald breeze caresses my tears
Angels sing come take my ashes
Wings to dust, lost heart...
Angels sing come take my ashes
Wings to dust, lost heart...
Tears of sorrow broken like crystal
Embrace cold forever,
Pale moon yearning
