A compelling work of Russian social and political history, Apostles into Terrorists chronicles the remarkable and often overlooked role of women in the 19th-century Russian revolutionary movement under the reign of Tsar Alexander II. Vera Broido presents a vivid account of idealistic young women who abandoned privilege and convention to join the radical populist cause, transforming from devout believers in social justice into hardened participants in underground political struggle. Drawing on extensive historical research, the book details their motivations, sacrifices, and the brutal consequences they faced at the hands of the Tsarist state. Written with scholarly rigour yet accessible prose, it stands as a significant contribution to the history of both feminism and revolutionary politics in Imperial Russia.
