Introduction
Durruti, Buenaventura, 1896-1936
A biography of legendary Spanish anarchist and Civil War fighter Buenventura Durruti.
To reduce to a few hundred words the life story of an almost mythic figure is not an easy task. It can be said, without fear of exaggeration, that Buenventura Durruti symbolised in his person the courageous struggle of workers and peasants in that country, and more specifically symbolises the spirit of Spanish anarchism.
Goldman, Emma, 1869-1940
A short biography of legendary anarchist Emma Goldman, "one of the most dangerous women in America" according to J. Edgar Hoover.
Emma Goldman was born in 1869 in a Jewish ghetto in Russia where her family ran a small inn. When she was 13 the family moved to St Petersburg. It was just after the assassination of Alexander II and so was a time of political repression. The Jewish community suffered a wave of pogroms.
Bakunin, Mikhail, 1814-1876
The anarchist movement throws up many men and women, who become famous because of their actions, ideas and writings. Perhaps the best known of them all was the Russian anarchist, Mikhail Bakunin.
Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin
Born May 30, 1814 Pryamukhino, Russia – died June 13, 1876 Bern, Switzerland.
