Ronald Hingley presents a vivid and authoritative account of the nihilist movement, detailing the lives, beliefs, and conspiracies of the men and women who sought to dismantle tsarist autocracy through propaganda, terrorism, and revolutionary organization. With scholarly precision and a keen narrative eye, Hingley illustrates how figures such as Bakunin, Nechaev, and the members of the People's Will transformed abstract philosophical rebellion into concrete acts of political violence, culminating in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. The work argues that this period was not merely a prelude to the Bolshevik Revolution but a defining era in its own right, one that shaped the very language and tactics of modern revolutionary politics. Authoritative yet accessible, it remains an essential text for anyone seeking to understand the roots of Russian radicalism and the enduring legacy of nineteenth-century nihilism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887883268315,"sku":"2026200007199-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1ae31b70-086f-4821-ab03-fc653328b4e2.png?v=1781747715","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007199-secondhand-nihilists-russian-radicals-and-revolutionaries-in-the-reign-of-alexander-ii-1855-81","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
