Letters and texts of Bakunin published on the CD-ROM Bakounine. Oeuvres complètes 1823-1876. Context Biographical Note Michail Alexandrovic Bakunin (Бакунин Михаил Александрович) (1814-1876) is one of the principal founders of anarchism. He devoted his whole life to his political ideas and principles and for about 30 years was a political activist in different countries of Europe. In 1848-49 he participated in revolutionary activities in Paris, Prague and Dresden. He was arrested, imprisoned and deported to Siberia, from where he escaped in 1861. He returned to London by way of Japan and the United States, to continue his political activities. He founded secret organizations and was a critical member of the First International, who considered Karl Marx and his political thinking too authoritarian. He continued his revolutionary activities in Russia, Italy, Spain and France until his death in Bern in 1876. Custodial History Bakunin has left an enormous oeuvre that in its diversity reflects his turbulent life. In the course of his life and after his death, part of his oeuvre was destroyed. Other material – manuscripts, copies and publications – was scattered over more than forty archives in Europe and the rest of the world. The CD-ROM brought together all available material written by Bakunin which was known of in 1999. This collection presents all writings by Bakunin, those previously published as well as those so far left unpublished. Of all documents a version is available in French. For documents that Bakunin wrote in another language a transcription in the original language is also available. Russian texts are presented in cyrillic. The CD-ROM contained images of all original manuscripts available so as to enable comparison with the transcriptions. Transcriptions of texts are based on Bakunin’s original manuscripts (or microfilms or photocopies of these) whenever these were available.

Much of the material is unique: the CD-ROM contained hundreds of texts that had not been published before. Many others were being made available for the first time integrally and in their original language. Bakunin devoted his life to politics and played a major role in revolutionary movements in the second half of the 19th century. As an activist he participated in many of the uprisings that swept through Europe after 1848 and he was involved in the foundation of revolutionary groups and secret organizations. As a political thinker, he was a prolific writer who produced numerous articles and speeches, helped to draw up programs for political parties, and wrote letters of protest and pamphlets. Apart from the writings and letters of Bakunin, the CD-ROM contained miscellaneous materials, like notes Bakunin made on works he studied, codes he used for some of his correspondence, and personal documents.
