#PersonasOfRevolutionaryTerror in Russian Fiction and Memoirs from Dostoevsky to Zenzinov examines the tactics, motives, and psychological profiles of Russian revolutionary terrorists prior to 1917.

I write about Ishutin and other early Russian terrorists in my forthcoming #PersonasOfRevolutionaryTerror in Russian Fiction and Memoirs from Dostoevsky to Zenzinov for #AcademicStudiesPress.

One of the first modern terrorists was Moscow State University lecturer Nikolai Ishutin. He founded a group called “Hell” whose members would survey the peasants to find out which individuals the latter were unhappy with, and those named would be executed or poisoned. #PersonasOfRevolutionaryTerror
