Karl Pearson
There is no indication on Karl Pearson's page of a link with either Sergey Stepnyak or the Society of Friends of Russian Freedom and the Russia Free Press. Further information required? Jackiespeel (talk) 10:26, 23 February 2016 (UTC)


 * On looking into the matter further there are a few references via Google books etc - a few references are required. Jackiespeel (talk) 18:02, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

'Sergey Stepnyak-Kravchinsky was a Ukrainian revolutionary...'
This description, while technically correct - he was from Ukraine and he was a revolutionary - seems to create a somewhat misleading impression. It sounds as if his revolutionary activity had something to do with his Ukrainian origins and was dedicated to the Ukrainian national cause. This is what people can imagine in the context of present-day events when they read about a Ukrainian killing a Russian official. The cause that Stepnyak-Kravchinsky actually fought for was that of the Narodniks - a majority-Russian movement for the establishment of democracy and socialism (with local characteristics) in the Russian Empire. 'A Ukrainian narodnik revolutionary' would perhaps be a more adequate description. Even that sounds a bit too much as if he identified as ethnically Ukrainian, which may or may not be true for all I know, but I suspect that the description has been chosen just based on the location of his birth, and that isn't a sufficient reason to assume that he identified so. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 21:33, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Should just admit he was an Anarchist, and a Nihilist. This talk about ‘democracy’ obscures the truth. 2601:647:6680:4450:5839:326C:7876:27FC (talk) 00:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
