Stepniak
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Sergei Kravchinski, known in
19th century London revolutionary circles as
Stepniak, was the
Russian who killed the chief of that country's
secret police with a dagger in the streets of
St Petersburg in
1878.
Stepniak had joined the rising against the Turks in Bosnia in 1876, and used that experience to write a manual on guerrilla warfare. He also joined the anarchist Errico Malatesta in his small rebellion in the Italian province of Benevento in 1877.
