Prince Peter Alexeyevich Kropotkin fully possessed the art of remaining himself, to live by his own convictions and, if necessary, to swim against the current. With all the integrity of his nature in the personality of Kropotkin combined all the most incompatible. An official of special assignments, hopeful administrator, a talented military intelligence, he refused to state career, initially - for the sake of science. Philosopher, memoirist writer and journalist, geographer, geologist, biologist-naturalist, economist, ethnographer, sociologist, historian, literary scholar - this is all he, Kropotkin, almost the second Lomonosov. However, his true fate was revolutionary agitation, arrests and prisons, the famous escape and decades of life in exile. He became an enemy not only of the Russian autocracy, but also of the "democratic" rulers of Europe, one of the true leaders of world anarchism and a leading theorist of anarchist communism, a thinker who can be considered the forerunner of the theory of post-industrial society... The book by contemporary Russian historians Dmitry Rublev and Vadim Damier tells about the man who in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a moral authority not only for many Russians, but also for people from all continents of the globe.
