hundreds of blacks. Part 13 Dubrovin. Part 5 Peter Straub in his collection "Patriotica" has an interesting thesis about the Black Hundreds. He wrote: "The union is, by its very essence, only a large preparatory class for socialist-revolutionaries." It was of course not about all the black hundreds, but mainly about the propaganda leaflets of Pochiev Labra, which only had to be "made a light retouch" to create an analogy with the announcements of the socialist revolution in the country. Characteristically, the Pochiev Department of the "Union of the Russian People" consisted entirely of "Dubrovinites". During the split in the movement, this department took the side of the anti-government and more left-wing Dobrovin. The Puchians, together with the Kazan branch of the RNC, became the main support of Dubrovin in the district in his conflict against the "Markovites". Officially, due to disagreements, the Pochiev department broke up into an independent structure, but in its ideology and political line it remained as close as possible to the "Dubrovinites". If the right-wing monarchist Markov II and his supporters found a compromise with the government of Nicholas II and supported Stolypin's right-wing market-supporting reforms, then the "Dubrovins" and "Puchas" maintained a spontaneous, anti-bureaucratic, populist and "anti-licensing" propaganda course. They appealed directly to the poor peasants, criticized the government from the left "d obrovinetsy" and "pochievtsy" believed that left-populist, anti-market and anti-government rhetoric was supposed to prevent the lower classes from socialism. They convinced the peasants that the Tsar supposedly wanted to give them all the land, but he was thwarted by "enemies", which included landowners, liberals and bureaucrats. It was enough to remove the figure of the monarch from this formula, and the result was the socialist revolutionary program of the "handover of the black".
