Burevestnik (Template:Lang-ru) was a Russian language anarchist periodical published from Paris, France, 1906–1910.[1] It had the subtitle 'Organ of the Russian Anarchist Communists'.[2][3] The publication was the most prominent periodical of Russian anarchist émigrés in the aftermath of the Russian revolution of 1905.[4] It was edited by Maksim Rayevsky and Nikolai Rogdaev.[1] Nineteen issues of Burevestnik were published during its five years of existence.[2][5]
The name Burevestnik was inspired by Maxim Gorky's poem The Song of the Stormy Petrel (Песня о Буревестнике). The masthead of the publication carried the final line of the poem, Let the tempest come strike harder! (Пусть сильнее грянет буря!).[4]
The publication included lengthy debates on the use of terrorism as well as information on the activities of the anarchist movement in Russia.[6] Burevestnik generally adhered to the political line from Kropotkinite Khleb i Volia group. However, anti-syndicalist viewpoints were also expressed in some of its articles (through the participation of Abram Grossman).[4] Grossman used the signature "A -" in Burevestnik 1906–1907. He vehemently accused the Kropotkinists of conflating syndicalism and anarchist, stating that they had become led astray by the French labour movement. Instead he called for "direct, illegal, revolutionary means of warfare" to be applied in Russia.[7]
Articles from the Burevestnik Paris groups would later become frequently reproduced in the New York-based publication Golos Truda. Rayevsky had moved to America, and edited Golos Truda from there.[4]
