A landmark document in the history of anarchist thought, The Confession of Mikhail Bakunin presents the extraordinary private letter written by the legendary Russian revolutionary Mikhail Bakunin to Tsar Nicholas I while imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress in 1851. This edition includes the Tsar's own marginal comments, offering a rare and intimate dialogue between prisoner and autocrat that illuminates the political tensions of mid-nineteenth century Europe. Translated by Robert C. Howes and accompanied by an introduction and scholarly notes by Lawrence D. Orton, the volume situates Bakunin's passionate self-examination within the broader currents of Russian radicalism and pan-Slavic nationalism. The text chronicles Bakunin's revolutionary activities across Europe, his philosophical convictions, and the deeply personal reckoning of a man who shaped the course of anarchist and socialist thought for generations to come.
