Summary
Peter Alekseevich Kropotkin: Records of a Revolutionary
P. A. Kropotkin (1842-1921), the saint of anarchism, was born in Moscow, into a noble family from the ancient line of the Rjurikovich dynasty, which ruled Russia before the Romanovs. Having joined the elite military service in Petrograd, he asked for a transfer to Siberia in his twenties, and the five years he spent there had a decisive influence on his development. In 1872, he went to Switzerland, where he became acquainted with the revolutionary movement of the First International. He was arrested in 1874 in Petrograd, but after two years he managed to escape from the Petropavlovsk Fortress. He lived in London, where he founded the anarchist newspaper Freedom Press and wrote a series of books that founded the so-called communist anarchism, a society without a state and repression which, contrary to Marxist theories, is not based on material relations, but on the development of social and individual ethics, along with the principle of solidarity and mutual aid. After the outbreak of the revolution, Kropotkin finally returned to Russia in 1917, after 40 years of exile. As he was never a supporter of violence, he was deeply disappointed with Lenin and his clique that killed everything that stood in their way to conquering power. He died in 1921 in Dmitrov, not far from Moscow, exactly 100 years ago.
Kropotkin's famous book Notes of a Revolutionary was published in London in 1899 and is one of the most famous memoirs in the history of literature.
