Vassiliev the anarchist

Hello All. I found an interesting snippet in "Lloyd's" from December 2, 1888. This is the first time I have seen Vasiliev described as an anarchist. In checking here on Casebook, I found some interesting information which I shall paste in the next post.

Cheers.

Hello All. My copy of William Morris' collected letters has arrived. Could not pass up this lovely photo. I apologise if it has been posted already.

(Thanks to Simon Wood for kindly adding the techno touches.)

Hello Lynn.
Thank you for the links to the articles, particularly in post #288.
I've just emailed you with a few thoughts.

scholarly paper

Hello Maria. Here is the scholarly paper I mentioned. (Courtesy of Simon Wood.)

I think I recognise the publisher, Kluwer--a Dutch publishing house. They did a "Handbook of Metaphysics and Ontology" about 20 years ago. It contained one of my ontology articles.

Oops. Just checked. That was Philosophia Verlag. I regret the error.

Cheers.

Hello Maria. Here is an excellent link with tons of information. It helps detail some of the "London Operation" of Okhrana.

Cheers.

Bint, but not broken

Hello Maria. I just saw your question regarding Henri Bint. I believe he was a refugee from the old "Barlet Brigade." (Barlet was an ex-surete agent.) Milevsky rehired him, according to Fischer. I believe he worked with several female penetration agents. I may find the PDF later and send it to you.

"I'm just wondering if the Okhrana would not collaborate with people from the SY (like Jenkinson) on another agenda. "

Ah, collaboration. Of course. Many spy masters--Rachkovski, et al--preferred to hire those who were experienced. Remnants of the old Jenkinson gang would have been perfect.

I have a scholarly paper I may post later. It deals with precisely this motif.

The big difference between the Fenians and the Anarchists is that the former were devout Roman Catholics; the latter, atheists.

Cheers.

To put it another way, even given that the Anarchists nearly always made reference to "the Irish question," there is a HUGE discrepancy in these 2 groups that would naturally preclude their wide scale collaboration. Now, what is that "HUGE discrepancy"?

Hello Lynn. I'm not trying to conflate the anarchists/socialists with the Irish Fenians in any attempt whatsoever. I'm just wondering if the Okhrana would not collaborate with people from the SY (like Jenkinson) on another agenda. It's just a question, really.
As for your “huge discrepancy“, I assume you mean the great dif of Irish nationalism vs. socialist internationalism in the 2 groups' agendas?

discrepancy

Hello Maria. Yes, Butterworth and Fischer are excellent sources for such information.

Well, some of the same dramatis personae of the earlier drama may well have been in the cast of the other one. But it would be a mistake to conflate these 2 groups. See why?

Referring to The Echo of February 28, 1889, p. 2, I was wondering if anyone (perhaps Debra Arif?) would be able to identify the shop in the Strand where Pigott previously had dealings with and where he cashed in his check of L25.
Good luck in researching Maurice Murphy/Patrick Casey, Lynn. Where did you get the info about Rachkovsky's agents “John“ and “Murphy“ again, Lynn, in Butterworth and Fischer? I almost don't wanna come forward with it, but can you imagine if the Okhrana was involved in the Parnell case? Forgery was not in the least foreign to them.

Hello Lynn.
Pertaining to your post #272, interesting article, pity it doesn't go too deep. Most interesting was to read about the “black cabinets“ in the Russian postal depots, and about the Okhrana opening hundreds of letters! I don't suppose that they might have had similar access to postal depots in Paris and London?! The author doesn't say anything about this. (As the discussion in his article is very limited and “generic“.) By the by, it only now dawned on me that Okhrana means “security“ in Russian.
Do you know anything about Henri Bint, the French head of Okhrana's team of detectives in Paris? (He's mentioned in a footnote in the article, also without any details.)
