===Russian Nihilism===

[[File:RussianNil.png]] [[w:Russian nihilist movement|Russian Nihilism]] was an [[File:Leftunity.png]] [[:Category:Left Unity|economically left]], civically variable, [[File:Farm.png]] [[Agrarianism|agrarian]], and revolutionary [[File:Antimon.png]] anti-monarchist movement from the [[File:Cball-Russian_Empire.png]] Russian Empire in the late 19th century. It was primarily inspired by the thought of the [[File:Hegel.png]] Young Hegelians and Russian anarchist [[File:BakuninHeg.png]] [[Anarcho-Collectivism|Mikhail Bakunin]]. <br>Ideas varied wildly between theoreticians. Some supported [[File:Awaj.png]] [[anarchism]] (Bakunin), some supported [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[republicanism]] (Chernyshevsky), and some supported what was perceived as [[File:Totalitarian.png]] [[totalitarianism]] (Nechayev). One thing these theorists all shared was an opposition to traditional values, monarchism, and religion. Another thing to note is that some nihilists were greatly influenced by Russian antinihilist literature such as Ivan Turgenevs "fathers and sons" or Fyodor Dostoevskys work and aspired to be like the nihilist characters in those stories.

The Socialist Revolutionary Party were agrarian socialists and supporters of a democratic socialist Russian republic. The ideological heirs of the Narodniks, the SRs won a mass following among the Russian peasantry by endorsing the overthrow of the Tsar and the redistribution of land to the peasants.
