The Fate of Nihilists
Hartmann, the Nihilist, states that out of 3000 men and women personally known to himself among the many thousands who were enrolled in the ranks of the Bussian conspirators, between 1876 and 1878, nearly all have been killed or sentenced to hard labor in the mines of Siberia. He knows of only two who are still at large. .Speaking of the hopes and . plans of the Nihilists, he says— " They will not lose anything through a- war wifji JBngland or any other Power. In ;^s first place, a war will overthrow . -tt(f financial credit of the Bussian : . fioftt^rmaeat, and it would become bankrupt There would be universal .discontent, and absolutism would be overthrown not simply by a small class but by the people themselves. That is why it would be silly to kill the Gear at present. He will ML iimself."
