Abstract

Petr Lavrovich Lavrov, a recognized leader of Russian Populism (Narodnichestvo), not only witnessed on the spot the events preceding and following March 18, 1871, he also analyzed them in a monograph and often reverted to them in his writings and speeches. He arrived in Paris on March 13, 1870, after having escaped from one of the northern areas of his native country, where he was deported to by the Russian authorities. He was 47 years old and enjoyed the well earned name of an able homme de lettres and defender of causes dear to the radical intelligentsia. Moreover, in a study called Historical Letters (1868–1869), composed in the solitude of his deportation, he succeeded in formulating the aspirations of the Russian revolutionary youth.
