Founders of totalitarian regime

Leo Deutsch - actually Lev Grigorievich Deutsch - was born in 1855 in Tulchyn, Russia. He was the son of a Jewish merchant and a peasant woman.

At the age of 19, he joined the NarodniksNarodniks - activists of the Narodnik movement, fighting for democracy in the Russian Empire of 1870-1890. The Narodniks held anti-feudal views, which they combined with criticism of bourgeois progress, preaching the slogans of preparing a peasant uprising, overthrowing the Tsar and introducing a form of socialism of sorts. in Kiev and participated in the 'for the people' movement, in which young radicals disguised as peasants went to the countryside to spread socialist ideas. While he was staying in Geneva and studying the works of Karl Marx, he co-founded the Emancipation of LabourThe Emancipation of Labour was the first Russian Marxist group. It was founded in exile in Geneva in 1883. The group published the first Russian-language translations of many of Karl Marx's works and distributed them. In Russia, Emancipation of Labour influenced a separate group, the League of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class, founded by Vladimir Lenin and others in St Petersburg in 1895. Lenin later wrote that the Emancipation of Labour "laid the theoretical foundations for the social democratic movement and took the first step towards a working class movement in Russia.". All Russian Marxist parties, including the Communist Party, originated from this group. He was one of the four founding members of the Marxist Organisation of Russia, the precursor of the Social Democratic Workers' Party of Russia. As the most experienced activist in this illegal organisation, Deutsch was responsible for smuggling Marxist literature into Russia from Germany, where it was then still little known. He thus contributed directly to the initiation of the most criminal system of terror and surveillance in Russia.
