Abstract

The article examines arrest protocols drawn up from the mid-1870s to the mid-1880s by local policemen investigating thousands of individuals denounced to the authorities for having voiced criticisms of the monarchy and approval of the campaign of terror in the reign of Alexander II. The discussion proceeds in two stages. It first argues that the arrest protocols constitute grounds for a revisionist challenge to the existing historiography which charts enduring, if gradually declining, popular support for the monarchy in the final decades of tsarism. It then argues for a reappraisal of the efforts by revolutionaries in the reign of Alexander II to destroy the sanctity of the autocracy through the use of “propaganda by the deed.” The campaign to assassinate the tsar emerges in the arrest protocols as an effective form of political messaging that gained real purchase in the popular imagination. It prompted lower-class Russians to articulate their own local grievances in terms of popular sovereignty, natural justice and political accountability.

14. Daniel Field has cautioned against setting too much store by these retrospective accounts of the hopelessness of the propaganda effort, faced with the intransigence of, among other things, peasant faith in the tsar. Memoirs were often written long after their authors had abandoned agitational work in favor either of political terror or small-deeds legal activity and now had a vested interest in showing that their earlier “efforts had indeed been ridiculous.” It remains the case, however, that much of the contemporary testimony given by radicals arrested during the Going-to-the-People movement tends to confirm this perception of peasant resistance to the proselyting efforts of the students. See Field, “Peasants and Propagandists in the Russian Movement to the People of 1874,” Journal of Modern History 59, no. 3 (September 1987): 420; Boris Itenberg, ed., Revoliutsionnoe narodnichestvo 70-kh godov XIX veka, 2 vols.

Spurred by their conviction that the peasants could not be readily disabused of their naïve monarchism, one group of radicals cynically sought to exploit it by summoning one particularly gullible group of peasants to rebellion in the name of the “real tsar,” in what became known as the “Chigrin Affair.” Ely, Underground Petersburg, 130–40; Field, Rebels in the Name of the Tsar, ch. 3.

On the basis of the anti-tsarist invective he has discovered in political investigations, Evgenii Anisimov has argued that faith in the legitimacy and authority of the tsars suffered during the Time of Troubles and continued to decline over the course of the eighteenth century.Dyba i knut: Politicheskii sysk i russkoe obshchestvo v XVIII veke (Moscow, 1999), 66–70.

32. The term “propaganda by the deed” is attributed to the Italian anarchist, Carlo Pisacane, who used the term in his 1857 “Political Testament” to call for deeds rather than words in galvanizing Italians to revolt: “Propaganda of the idea is a chimera, the education of the people is an absurdity. Ideas result from deeds, not the latter from the former.. . .The only work a citizen can do for the good of the country is that of cooperating with the material revolution: therefore, conspiracies, plots, attempts, etc. are that series of deeds through which Italy proceeds towards her goal.” Nunzio Pernicone, Italian Anarchism, 1864–1892 (Princeton, 1993), 13. Mikhail Bakunin took up the refrain in his “Letters to a Frenchman on the Present Crisis” of 1870 in which he declared, “we must spread our principles, not with words but with deeds, for this is the most popular, the most potent, and the most irresistible form of propaganda.” Bakunin on Anarchy: Selected Works by the Activist-Founder of World Anarchism, trans. and ed.

45. In their studies of lower-class attitudes to the monarchy during the First World War, Kolonitskii and Aksenov have drawn similar distinctions between inchoate expressions of anger or exasperation at the tsar one the one hand and more considered criticisms of his policies on the other. See Kolonitskii, “Tragicheskaia erotika, ” 207 and Aksenov, “Ubit΄ ikonu,” 405–6.

As in many contemporary European monarchies, this paternalist exercise of power in the Empire embodied a compact between the ruler and the ruled: service, obedience, and deference were to be rendered by the tsar’s subjects in return for his protection and care.
