Battle for Height 958 (In modern Ukrainian literature, it is customary to use the name Battle of Makivka[3]) was a relatively small Russian operation to gain altitude in the Carpathian mountains. In German and Austrian literature, this event is practically not mentioned anywhere, but in Ukrainian literature this event is very well covered because the bulk of the troops in the battle were Ukrainians, as well as the fact that Yevhen Konovalets took part in the battle. The battle is also used for Ukrainian nationalist propaganda.[4] The battle ended with the capture of the height, but the Russians could not develop a major offensive to the rear of the Austro-Hungarian forces.
