- BAKUNIN, MIKHAIL ALEKSANDROVICH° (1814–1876), Russian
revolutionary, one of the founders and theoreticians of Anarchism. While
imprisoned in the Petropavlovsk fortress in St. Petersburg (1851), he
wrote his "Confession" (Ispoved), in which he reproached the
Polish independence leaders adam mickiewicz and Joachim Lelewel
for their favorable attitude toward Jews. Through his conflict with
marx , hess , and other Jewish Socialists at the end of the
1860s, Bakunin's hatred of the Jews grew beyond bounds. In his answer to
a letter of Moses Hess in the review Le réveil (October 20,
1869), he referred to the Jews as a nation of exploiters, entirely
opposed to the interests of the proletariat. At another time he stated
that the Jews were more dangerous than the Jesuits and constituted a
real power in Europe: they reigned despotically over commerce and
banking, and had taken over three-quarters of German journalism as well
as a large portion of the press in other countries. Bakunin considered
Marx as the modern Moses, a typical representative of the Jewish people.
