A History of Russian Nihilism
An understanding of the Russian nihilism of the 1860s begins with an attempt to understand the concept of nihilism. This is naturally difficult because if there is a word that has even more loaded, and negative, connotations than anarchism it would be nihilism. This is particularly because the primary vehicle of our modern understanding of nihilism is through the fiction of Turgenev and Dostoevsky. Neither of these authors were particularly sympathetic to nihilism and provided nihilist characters primarily as a frame with which to drape their morality tales. The version of nihilism offered by these authors is then, primarily, a snapshot of the popular culture in which nihilism dwelt as much as it is a recollection of the trend. This time in Russian history is part of the story of nihilism and will be part of the story in bridging the gap between the mythological Bazarov, Verkhovensky, or Raskolnikov and figures like Nicholas Chernyshevsky, Dmitry Pisarev, and to some extent Sergey Nechayev.

The Struggle Against Fascism in Russia
This week we speak with Ukrop, an anarchist, antifascist activist, and maker of the documentaries “Antifascist Attitude” & “Actions vs. Repressions”. This is part 1 of a two part interview, in which they talk about the history and context of Nazi influence in formerly-Soviet Russia and the rise of radical anti-fascism. Ukrop also discusses how the internet effected punk and anarchist subculture in Russia in the 1990′s and the first decade of the 21st century. In the conversation we cover overlaps between police and prisons and nazi’s as well as how the education system in that country feeds into nationalism and capitalism.

Fania Kaplan , la anarquista que baleo a Lenin
“Mi nombre es Fania Kaplan. Hoy disparé a Lenin. Lo hice con mis propios medios. No diré quién me proporcionó la pistola. No daré ningún detalle. Tomé la decisión de matar a Lenin hace ya mucho tiempo. Le considero un traidor a la revolución. Estuve exiliada en Akatuy por participar en el intento de asesinato de un funcionario zarista en Kiev. Permanecí once años en régimen de trabajos forzados. Tras la Revolución fui liberada. Aprobé la Asamblea Constituyente y sigo apoyándola”.

Memorias de un revolucionario, por Piotr Kropotkin [Libro]
Primera Parte: INFANCIA
Moscú es una ciudad de lento crecimiento histórico y, hasta nuestros días, las diferentes partes de que se compone han conservado admirablemente los rasgos más característicos impresos en ellas durante el reposado curso de la Historia. El distrito del río de Trans-Moscú, con sus anchas y somnolientas calles, y sus monótonas casas pintadas de gris, y de techos bajos, cuya entrada principal permanecía bien cerrada, tanto de noche como de día, ha sido siempre el retiro predilecto de la clase mercantil y el foco de los disidentes de la Antigua Fe, notablemente austeros, formalistas y despóticos.

There Is No Communism in Russia
Emma Goldman (1935)
I.
Communism is now on everybody’s lips. Some talk of it with the exaggerated enthusiasm of a new convert, others fear and condemn it as a social menace. But I venture to say that neither its admirers—the great majority of them—nor those who denounce it have a very clear idea of what Bolshevik Communism really is.
