Russian Anarchists. 1905—1922

The book tells how at the beginning of the century the industrial revolution and social chaos gave rise to an armed movement of anarchists.

The traditions of Russian anarchists were a mixture of Western and homegrown elements.

Filtered through the lens of the teachings of Bakunin, Kropotkin, and naive populism, they flourished during the revolutions of 1905 and 1917.

Anarchism in Russia activated and declined along with the development of the revolutionary movement as a whole.

In the whirlpool of uprisings, terrorist acts, and the Civil War, anarchists tried to implement their program, but were defeated, pushed off the political stage by the Bolsheviks.
