Crime & Terrorism

Political terrorism in the Russian Empire is still a very painful subject for many people in today’s Russia. The reasons for these painful thoughts about terrorism vary. For some people, the sheer enormity of the number of victims—17,000 people killed or wounded between 1901-1911. Other people are shocked by the duration of terrorism between 1866-1911 […]

McDonald’s bought slaves from the mafia to cover the shortage of jobs. This is not a joke, but a real crime that was solved by the police in the UK. In 2015, the gang of the Drevenaki brothers organized a business of selling people — they looked for homeless and unemployed men in Europe and, […]

Everyone seen him, knew everything about him but no one stopped him. Ryan Routh, the would-be assassin of Donald Trump, was well known to both the Ukrainian special services and the US law enforcement agencies. Many Americans and Ukrainians who encountered him repeatedly reported his suspicious behavior to the authorities of their countries. Routh constantly […]

The generation of terrorists in the Russian Empire between 1901-1911 constitute a unique generation in the history of European and world terrorism. This generation created mass terrorism in today’s world. These terrorists also found a supporter in Leo Tolstoy, the world’s greatest writer. The government’s decision in August 1906 to use speedy courts martial against […]

Political terrorism in the Russian Empire lasted from 1866 to 1911. This period was equivalent to two generations. One can divide the history of Russian terrorists into the story of the Great Known Generation of the members of the People’s Will from 1879-1894 and the story of the Great Unknown Generation of terrorists from different […]

There are different ways of dividing the history of terrorism in Russia between 1866 and 1911. In my last article, I suggested that one way to look at the history of political terrorism in the Russian Empire is to divide it into two main periods. The period of the Great Known runs from 1879-1894. It […]

One way to look at the history of political terrorism in the Russian Empire is to divide it into two main periods. The period of the Great Known runs from 1879-1894. It is the history of the People’s Will (Народная Воля) whose members assassinated Tsar Alexander II on March 1, 1881. The period of the […]

The ambivalence of many conservatives and reactionaries in Russia about political terrorism possibly did more harm to the government than we can imagine. In the long run, conservative ambivalence contributed to the collapse of the autocracy in the February Revolution of 1917. It is undoubtable that most conservatives and reactionaries condemned left-wing terrorism, but many […]

Reuters journalists conducted a classic journalistic investigation in an attempt to understand how online trade and the availability of chemical recipes on the Internet can contribute to the fentanyl drug epidemic in the United States. The journalists did it simply: they found a recipe for making fentanyl from precursors on the Internet. Then they found […]

Support from liberals and moderate socialists and ambivalent attitudes by conservatives enabled the massiveness and continuity of left-wing terrorism in Russia between 1901-1911. In many respects, these tendencies already began in the first wave of political terrorism in Russia from 1878-1894. Just how much do we know about liberal support for terrorism and conservative ambivalence […]
