Thus begins the longest and hardest search of our time...

[BIXX]

I am attempting to get a copy of a book that seems to be incredibly rare- it may not even exist anymore (though I cannot find any evidence that it was destroyed or completely lost). It is this...

Terroristicheskaya Bor'ba, by Nikolai Morozov.

In English it is called "The Terrorist Struggle".

I'm pretty stumped on how to find this one. I mean, the internet so far has only turned up references to it (for example, quotes from it, or mentioning it briefly). So if anyone has any ideas or knowledge, that'd be wonderful.

Wait... Is that seriously the whole/actual thing?

Wikipedia calls it a "pamphlet." Imagine spending 23 years here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%A8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1 %8C%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B6%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8 F_%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C .%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B0_%D0%9C%D0%BE %D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0.jpg) for writing that. Anyway, nice find.

EchoShock, you should also read "Catechism of a Revolutionary", a Nilihist revolutionary document written by Sergey Nechayev, a Russian anarchist in 1869.

I did read it, didn't enjoy it very much. I like certain parts (the ruthlessness, in particular) but I didn't like how he basically said that any enjoyment in your life should be removed it else you aren't a revolutionary.

Asceticism seems to have been quite popular among anarchist groups in the 19th and early 20th century.

^that was a hold-over from Christian ideas of martyrdom and sacrifice, which played a pretty big role in the early Russian revolutionary/narodnik movement

So the hardest search of our time ended within half an hour?

I'm disappointed.

Jesus I have been looking for that for like 6 months.

Then again if I knew any Russian, at all, that might have helped.
