Mikhail Bakunin, 1814-1876
Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin was the Russian-born founder of the anarchist movement.
Mikhail Bakunin went further than Proudhon's "liberal" anarchism by advocating immediate insurrection and the violent overthrow of the state. He was personally involved in the 1848 Revolutions in Prague and Dresden. Bakunin was sentenced to death several times and later exiled to Siberia for his activities in Russia. Ivan Turgenev's celebrated novel, Rudin, is allegedly a literary portrait of Bakunin.
In many ways, Bakunin was probably Karl Marx's most powerful rival. Their conflict led to the collapse of the First International and a subsequent split in revolutionary movements
