Fritschi circle
I think it should be "Fritschi circle" not "Fritsche circle". A certain seach engine provides several book links for evidence. Fritschi is the Swiss version of the Fritsche family name, and one source claims the circle was named after a landlady. -- 87.78.95.204 (talk) 08:00, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Not Jewish?
According to http://henrypavlovich.com/Russian-revolutionary-movements-and-Jewish-emigration-after-1881
 * “People’s Will” was led by Vera Figner when its previous leaders were arrested. Born to Jewish parents in Kazan, Russia, in 1852, she was the oldest of six children and was sent away to a private school in 1863.

So perhaps German and Russian nobility have nothing to do with religion and ethnicity? פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 23:38, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It's a poor and prejudiced source. There were, of course, several influential Jewish noble houses such as Gintsburgs and Ployakovs, but religion had a lot to do with Russian nobility. AveTory (talk) 12:09, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Anarchist?
