The 1905 Russian Revolution

Peter Kropotkin

A little while ago I posted in several installments Peter Kropotkin’s essay on the 1905 Russian Revolution, written in November 1905, while events were still fresh in everyone’s mind. I have now consolidated those posts into a special page on the 1905 Russian Revolution.

Palestine-Israel, 65 years since the Nakba - Israelis still hold fast to the loot and grab for more*

Already 65 years since the Nakba and I still remember Deir Yassin and other bits of memories from 9 years before it.

Egypt: Samospráva v Port Saidu a dělnické boje
