Thou Shalt Kill: Revolutionary Terrorism in Russia, 1894-1917 Paperback - 1995

by Anna Geifman


From the publisher

Anna Geifman examines the explosion of terrorist activity that took place in the Russian empire from the years just prior to the turn of the century through 1917, a period when over 17,000 people were killed or wounded by revolutionary extremists. On the basis of new research, she argues that a multitude of assassination attempts, bombings, ideologically motivated robberies, and incidents of armed assault, kidnapping, extortion, and blackmail for party purposes played a primary role in the revolution of 1905 and early twentieth-century Russian political history in general.

First line

FROM APRIL 1866, when former student Dmitrii Karakozov made the first unsuccessful attempt on the life of Tsar Alexander II, through July 1918, when Lenin and his closest associate, lakov Sverdlov, ordered the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, and soon thereafter proclaimed a general policy of Bolshevik "red terror," a half-century of Russian history was bloodstained by revolutionary terrorism.

From the rear cover

"[Geifman] argues effectively that those who practiced individual acts of violence against tsarist officials and the population in general had a much more destructive effect on the imperial regime than has generally been acknowledged in the historical literature."--James W. Hules, Terrorism and Political Violence
