DR nay Ste te ee Ne, aed en ‘12 NIHILISM. + qe Interview with a Representative of the New Russian Move ment. ‘Wibilism tn the Vatace, in the Ariatocracy, In the Army, In the Chureb, inthe Universities, and Among the Peasants, “Tha Important Part Played by Womon— Nihilist Judgments — Severe Measures of Repression, New Tork Sun, Anrit 20, There are very fow Russian Nihilists In this city, perhaps not balf-a-dozen all told; buta Russian lady aud gentleman, ho lave acted and suffered {nthe cause of Nihillsm in their native country, granted an interview yesterday to a roporter of the Sun. ‘The reporter asked: Whnatara the privciples ‘and @emnnds of the people called Nihilists? ‘Aro theso merely destructive! A.—At present the principles of the Nihilists are destructive as well ns constructive. So far as the present Government of Russia is con- cerned, they are destructive; but Nibilist prin- ciples aro NOT LIMITED TO DESTRUCTIVENESS. They have In view the restoration of the peo- plo’s Governmont which oxisted threo centuries ago ‘throughout the whole of Russia, Three centuries ago thero was a regular Icalelative ‘body composed of represontatives from all parts of Russia, ond known as the Zemstyo; oud this Legislature, or Parliament, mado rules which ‘were then approved by the Czar, The mem- “bers of the Russian Parliament were elected by the veople, aud the powers of the Czar iu re- gard to lawmaking were confined to the approval or disapproval of the acts of the Parliament. Tho Czar himself held his oftice by the will of his ‘subjects, and was an elective ruler, and there are Instances in Russiun history of the deposition of Czars. The Nihilists propose that Parliamentary rule shall be restored, aud «Auto- - eresle Rovernmnene done away with. jocs not the present movement alm to establish socinl and political conditions far different from those that existed during the dominance of the uld Ruasinn Parliament? A—OF course thesa times differ from the times of centurics szo,and the alms of the Nibllists aro modified in accordance with human ebanges and human progress; but the Nihilists DO NOT PROPOSE TO SURVENT THE FAMILY, or to enforce novel fdas in regard to the social relations. The charges of immorallty and of neglect of the marringo-tie, made agalnat the Nihilists, are wholly fatse. It {s true that Ni- hillsts ignore the forms which the Autocratic Government of Russia prescribes os consti- tuting legal marriage; but Nibiiist husbands and wives areas firmly attached to cnch other, andas faithful to thelr mutual pledges, as husbands and wives in any tand, und many Nibilist wives have given exemplary proof of their devotion and fidelity by following thelr exited husbands into the tmfseries and priv yattons of life in Sloerla, Norarce the Nihilists Communists In the senso of the Intler term as accepted in France and in America, They aim at a reformation of the tenura of land, which would, in effect, ba 2 restoration of the old Rusatan custom wlicn the Hani wea8 pos: sessed by communities. The peasants held land in common, worked together, and divided the crop, not according to tue number of work- ers, but according to the number of mouths in afamily. The Autocratie Government has tried toabvlish the old system, but traces of ft yet remain. Tho Nibilists also propose to establish schools everywhere, and give all the peoplu an opportunity to be freely educated at the expenac of the State. é. Q.—What political change do the Nihilists alm to bring wbout in the Russian system of government? A—Thefr demand fs for A DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, jo which cach province of Russia will exercise auronomy.—the whole being joined in one chaln or federation. Q.—What about those alarming principles at tributed by the press of Weatero Europe to the Nihilists of Rugsiat A.—It thero {s any causo for alarm in regard to the Nihilists, {tis only among the creatures of Autocracy that uch cause exists. ‘Tho cople can auffer no harm from the movement, The principles of the Nihilists are few, and their demands yery simple und easily under- stood, and the welfare of the people’ fy thelr single afm. a .—What 1s tho strength of the Nihilist .moyement in Russia? How deeply has it takeo hold of the elghty or ninety mililons of people who are subject to the Czar? A.—The number of Nibilists ie, not large, if you take into necount the millions of people of the various nations in the Rusaian Empire; but. it includes a very large proportion of the fntel- Jectual, and what are commonly known as the higher classes, ‘The Nitilist movement is per- yasive throughout Russia, but 178 STRONGHOLDS ARE THE UNIVENsITILS, where the youth of tho best families In the Jand are congregated. We have seven universitics in seven different cltiea,—St. Petersburg, Kiley, Charkoy, Odeses, Kasau, Warsaw, and Dorpat. To these youth, and to other mar bers, malo and fernalo, of the educated. classes, Nibilism 1 cliiely conflned. But a sinall pro- portion of the peasants are nufliclently edu- cated to be oble to comprehend the prin- ciples of Nihilism. Nevertheless, while the peasantry are, as a mite, snvapablo of clearly understanding the alms and ob- jects of ‘tho Nihilists, yot many of them, especially dissenters from the Russfan or State Church, sympathize with our movemeut, and entertaln purposes corresponding In a eeneral - way to the objects of Nihillem, For instance, there is a sect in Russia which {8 conscientiously opposed to the payment of taxes, and whose membors only remain w few days i one place, ‘The Nibilists find the members of this eect very usoful fu disseminating Nihilist views und prin- ciples, and many of the sect have become con- yerta to Nihillem, und travel about infisiue Ni- hillstic doctrines wherever they vo. ‘The funda: amontal principles of Nihillsm predomluate to a great extent throughout Russi, but in an ande- fined and unclassiied form, The students of the Univeraltics, which I have already deseribed as stronrholde of Nitilism, aru drawn from ull purts of Russia, and are MOSTLY MEMBERS OF THI ARISTOCRACY, although some aro sonsol well-to-do merchants, ‘The majority represent some grade of Russian aristocracy, Q.—Nihillsttc principles have taken firm hold among the students A.—Yes, sir. Since 1870 no year has passed fo which some unlversity has not been closed on account of the provalenca of thls movement. _ All the universities are closed at present on ac- count of thu demonstrations by the students at Charkov and Kiovy, ‘Te students in the Unt- versity of Bt, Petersburg displaved sympathy tor thelr fellowa In Charkoy and Kley, and pett- tioned for the liberation of those who had been put under arrest. ‘The result was the closing of the calleges of the unlyersity, The Govern: ment’s object {s to get rid uf the studenta who ere considered dangerous, and to reopen the universities when Nihilism shall hove beon sul- ficlently crushed out. Even all the medical belivols are closed, Q.—Is it degrading or disreputablu to be sus- pected of entertaining Niliistic brinctptast A—Nototall, Jt is, rather, something to be roud of, und fs looked upon aaa sign ul jectual advancement, Q.—In England, to be a Radical fs to oe an outlaw. A.—Iu Hugsfa the contrary, “Even those who detest -Nihtliattc principles respect the intel- lectuality which the cultlyation of those prinel- ples indicates, Q.—What ure the METHODS OF PROPAGATING NIST A.—Uur mnethods are personal address, elther to fnilividuals or to grotipe, of course in secret, aud the dlatribution of pamphicts uid uf songs expressing Nibilietic deas, but udapted to uae tional anit popular airs. ‘The pampblets are printed in secret printing oflces in Kussla, and cootaly usually fram ten to twenty payes, In those pamphiets the condition and elrcun. stances of the Russian people are eet forth in aform clear und futelligible even to the peas- Bot, Boinetimes the pamphicts conta stories jnculcating Nibitfatic principles, or historleal sketches of Russian revolutlons tu 1570, 1 and 1770; that year °70 is dreaded by the lip rlal Government. ‘The proportion of peasants who can read ts probably Jess than one in twenty, but those who read explain to those who “cannot.

Q.—ts not sich a method dangerous? A.—It is. Almost every day we hear of the arrert of a Nihilist thus dlaguised os a working maa. Secret meotings are also sometimes held for the propagation of Nihilistte {dens. A strange feature of the movement, as distinct from any other movement in the past or prescot countrics of £urope, Is _ THE PART PLAYED NY WOMEN. Wo hear of women with the knife: wo hear of »women in the factory, and of women In all the netivitics of the propagandas, under cireum- stances which have no precedent iu German or Fronch revolutions, The Nihiilat lady here interposed to reply fat in Russia the women of the aristocratic classes enjoyed equal educational advantages with the meu, and, being caually educated with them, wera ns wefl able tosce, und asdetermined toreform, the evils of the présent system of autocracy in Russia. The Nihilist woron, she sakl, owed much of their carncstness in the work of reformation to the convictions implanted {n their minds by the arguments of thelr brothers and friends, who, recognizing the intellectual and sovlal equality of tvomen, have convinced the women that: the success of Nilitistic princ!- ples is of equal (mportance to both sexes. Q.—Does there not acem to be an exceptional amount of audacity among women who are Ni- Allists, as demonstrated, for Inatance, by the act of Vera Sassullteh? A.—There are inany women, replied the lady, of equal courage sud spirit with Vera Sassu- Ntch,—women who defend themselves against the outrages of the police with a herolem un- exampled outside of Nuesia, Z Q.—It fs reported that persons spoken of as princesses nud wlyes of high officers of state have been imprisoned for being implicated In the Nililiat movement? A.—Ibis truc. WOMEN OF NODLE NINTH and wealthy surroundings leave thelr parents ‘and thelr homes, attire theinselves in the carb of peasanta, and become missionaries of Nihil- fam. Of course some are detected and arreste Hero the Nitillst geutleman interposed: Women hare maty opportunities of discovering what ts goingon inthe Government, what the Government intendsto do in regard to the NI- hilists, and to elicit valuable state secrets. The mission Imposed on Nihilist ladies in high posi- tion is to find out what te going on, what the policy of the State is in certain exigencies, how accused pereons are to be dealt with, aud other facts of iniportance in posscssion of the ladies’ husbands, relatives, or frlends, ‘the Nililists havo a counter-police,nud tho Nihtlist counter- police has learned to become very much inure expert than the Governinent pollce, as is shown by the failure to detect the Nihilists who have perpetrated daringdeeds. Many of thecounter- police are Indica, atid the Government has found it Impossible to coupteract thelr machinations. Many Niluiist ladies of higif rank have served the cause for years, unsuspected by those with whom they are In daily and intimate association, Q.—As to the recent kiliings by Nihtllsts,—[ see It stated that those killlugs ara called jude- manta? A.—Yes, that is true; the Ruesian word used means - “gupamEnts.? The principal object of those judgments, as wo call them in Rusala, is to show to the _neople that {t fa easy to get tid of despots.
