Not about the “elite”, but about the genuine Russian elite!! I’m proofreading my article about Princess Lieven. She lived abroad almost all her life, first for 22 years in London, with her ambassador husband, then in Paris. She left for France without the permission of Emperor Nikolai Pavlovich, and he wrote to her husband in […]

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 […]

It doesn’t matter what he said before… Trump, before his first election, also said a lot of things — about Putin, and about improving relations with Russia, and then he took it and replayed everything, and was the first to start supplying weapons to Ukraine, and began to destroy diplomatic relations, and the consulates under […]

Terrorism in the Russian Empire between 1901-1911 was both a multiethnic and multireligious phenomenon. In no way can it be considered an ethnically Russian phenomenon. However, too many historians ignore the multiethnic and multireligious composition of terrorists in Russia, and this is one more reason why terrorism remains a Great Unknown. Part of the problem […]

In its own way, terrorism became a mass movement in the Russian Revolution of 1905-1907. However, few historians consider terrorism a mass movement but regard it as something committed by individuals or small groups. The Revolution of 1905-1907 was the first European revolution with a strong terrorist component. Politically motivated murders did happen in previous […]

The chairmanship of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization will pass from Kazakhstan in rotation to China. Thus, Xi Jinping will become twice chairman. When taking over the presidency, Xi just said in Astana: China is ready to jointly build an even closer community of common destiny with all SCO member countries. Including Russia. But while Russia […]

How we regard the Russian Revolution of 1905-1907 often determines how we understand the nature of political terrorism in the Russian Empire. If we only focus on the mass movements of the revolution, then terrorism during this period remains the Great Unknown. What makes it so ironic about terrorism being the Great Unknown is that […]

Kirill Benediktov01.07.2024

Biden totally is crisis to himself. Trump shifts to the political mainstrim on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The Biden-Trump debate is interesting not because the current president has completely disgraced himself, despite all the efforts of advisers, PR people and pharmacists, and thereby buried his re-election prospects. The most curious thing is that Trump, who won […]

Because political terrorism in the Russian Empire remains the Great Unknown, we will go on having huge difficulties in understanding many tendencies in terrorism in today’s world. While it is true that terrorism happens under specific historical circumstances in different countries and periods during different periods, the fact remains that the history of political terrorism […]

Of all the topics in the history of the Russian Empire, one of the most unknown topics is the history of political terrorism in the Russian Empire between 1866-1911. It seems that the history of terrorism in pre-1917 Russia is likely to stay a Great Unknown for a long time. I first encountered terrorism in […]
