Talk:Narodnaya Volya

message: --This Page uses the Russian name, but for those people who are simply searching people's will, it is extremely hard to find (unless of course one knows of Alexander Ulyanov's involvement) but other than that one article, I found no other link to this page. It may be in the best interest of everyone to find a way to have any reference to "People's Will" hyperlink through to this page

replies: text: why does russian revolutionaries re-direct to this page, Narodnaya Volya was not the only revolutionary movement. Infact i think it deserves its own article.--Fabio 11:12, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Suggestion to add this alternate translation explicitly to the intro, as it was a case of intentional wordplay on the part of the founders of the organization. And although in contemporary Russian "volya" is less common than "svoboda" to be used in the sense of "freedom", in the 19th century it was the basic meaning of the term. For example, the manumissions given to individual serf peasants prior to general abolition of serfdom in 1861 were called "vol'naya gramota" (literally "the freedom certificate"). 83.149.3.173 (talk) 07:19, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: "People's Freedom"

message: I have edited this article to remove the focus on the Jewish participation but user:Dimadick has reverted this. I would like to have this founded. The article in my opinion suggestively poses that there is a supposed remarkable high Jewish participation in the organization compared to the percentage in the population of the Russian Empire. It is not stating why, nor why this info is relevant. I think it is suggestive and that the focus on specifically Jewish participation is weird and might have antisemitic motivations - as was also rampant in the era that the organization was active by the way. Therefore I suggest to either remove the whole part, or rewrite it in a less suggestive manner.
Below the part I talk about:
Demographically ethnic Russians dominated the organization, with about 14% of the group's members sent to trial of ethnic Jewish origins.[33] Two Jews (Zundelevich and Zlatopolsky) were long-term members of the Executive Committee. The number of ethnic Jews in the Narodnaya Volya was roughly comparable to the percentage of ethnic Jews subjected to political arrests throughout the entire period from 1884 to 1890, which totaled 15%.[33] Judging by the membership in the Executive Committee, Jews constituted about 7% of the Narodnaya Volya's leadership at the time when no more than 1% of the population of the Russian Empire was of a Jewish origin or background.[34]

Comment: we ought to know what the source says on this topic, but citation to Yarmolinsky's Road to Revolution is missing...Cinadon36 09:09, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

message: The article currently refers to Narodnaya Volya as an anarchist group, without reference. None of the sources I've seen consider them anarchists, just perhaps influenced by anarchists and part of the broader socialist movement. 138.88.18.245 (talk) 03:44, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
