Who was Mikhail Bakunin?
Born to a noble family in Pryamukhino in Tver province, Bakunin studied in Moscow and Berlin and met Marx and Proudhon in Paris. After the uprisings of 1848 in Prague and 1849 in Dresden he was sentenced to death, handed from one state to another and finally exiled to Siberia, from which he escaped through Japan and the United States to London.
He joined the First International in 1868 and led its anarchist faction against Marx, arguing that federations of self-governing workplaces and communes should replace the state rather than use it. Expelled in 1872, he founded the Anti-Authoritarian International and wrote Statism and Anarchy and God and the State. He is one of the most influential figures in the history of anarchism.
