Article Summary

Pëtr Tkachëv, the leading theorist of the ‘Jacobin’ current within Russian revolutionary populism, was a belated disciple of Gracchus (Francois Noël) Babeuf and a forerunner of Vladimir Lenin. Thus his ideas, although lacking theoretical sophistication, had some historical importance as a link between the primitively egalitarian communism of the extreme wing of the French revolution and the modern totalitarian communism of the Bolshevik revolution.
