Terrorism as Veiled Suicide
In the early twentieth century Russian revolutionaries carried out suicidal assaults and validated them by anarchist and radical socialist rhetoric as fervently as jihadists today employ the idiom of Islamism. When death-seeking became a fashionable sociocultural trend in Russia, political subversives embraced terrorism as camouflaged suicide. For their part, Islamists uphold self-inflicted death by constructing environments in which martyrdom ca…
The Liberal Left Opts for Terror
For a century, intellectual debate on political violence has been dominated by efforts to romanticize the extremist and to invest him with the aura of the altruistic “freedom fighter.” It is astonishing that in the post-9/11 era, the terrorist's image continues to remain habitually mystified and ennobled, while terror attacks are justified as self-defense. “Terrorist discourse” is indicative of the universality of the intellectual position of the…
Death Orders
This fascinating study shows how terrorism as developed and practiced in Romanov Russia has, over the past century, manifested itself as the template for modern and postmodern terrorism as a universal sociocultural, psychological, and existential experience, irrespective of particular political causes, ethnic distinctions, and ideological boundaries. Arguing that Russia is the birthplace of modern terrorism, Death Orders: The Vanguard of Modern T…

The Exposure of Azef, a Modern "Judas"
Many intricate details about the Azef affair remain unclear, but until new evidence is found, it is possible to challenge at least one currently accepted legend associated with it, namely, the revolutionaries' claim that Lopukhin helped them to expose Azef out of an altruistic love of truth. There are serious reasons to believe that the radicals used coercion to force the former director of the Police Department to supply them with evidence again…

Thou Shalt Kill
Jewish and Russian Revolutionaries Exiled to Siberia, 1901-1917
This volume offers two autobiographical perspectives on the early days of the Russian revolution. The first perspective is of an individual Jewish revolutionary from Byelorussia, while the second is that of the Izmailovich sisters, daughters of a high ranking military family
Statism and Anarchy
Aspects of early twentieth-century Russian terrorism
The only consolidated leftist party in Russia that formally incorporated terrorist tactics into its program between the turn of the century and 1917 was the Party of Socialist‐Revolutionaries (PSR), which came into existence when several autonomous neo‐Populist groups in Russia and abroad united into a single organization in late 1901. By 1905 it had become the most formidable political foe of the tsarist regime. Its members were not unique in pr…
