Burevestnik (Template:Lang-ru) was a Russian language anarchist periodical published from Paris, France, 1906-1910.[1] The publication was the most prominent organ of Russian anarchist emigrés in the aftermath of the Russian revolution of 1905.[2] It was edited by Maxim Raevskii and Nikolai Rogdaev.[1] Nineteen issues of Burevestnik were published during its five years of existence.[3]

The name Burevestnik was inspired by Maxim Gorky's poem The Song of the Stormy Petrel (Песня о Буревестнике). The masthead of the newspaper carried the final line of the poem, Let the tempest come strike harder! (Пусть сильнее грянет буря!).[2]

Burevestnik generally adhered to the political line from Peter Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread. However, anti-syndicalist viewpoints were also expressed in some of its articles (through the participation of Abram Grossman).[2]

Articles from the Burevestnik Paris groups were frequently reproduced in the New York-based publication Golos Truda.[2]
