When Chernyshevsky first came to St. Petersburg to study at university, he came into contact with the Petrashevsky group. It can be said that he began to study philosophy and utopian socialism issues because of his admiration for these big brothers. In other words, Petrashev
Chernyshevsky's group was the leader.
But what is more interesting is that the old man who led Chernyshevsky on the road to revolution gave up halfway, but he, a junior, persisted until the end.
He was also imprisoned in the notorious Peter and Paul Fortress Prison, and was also frightened by the fake death penalty. However, Chernyshevsky was not intimidated. Unlike Maikov, he immediately shrunk from being a revolutionary.
He became a conservative, but on the contrary, he persisted until the end. It can be said that he can beat his predecessors in terms of character.
Of course, Chernyshevsky, who was still studying in 1848, was a complete junior and had not yet entered the third part. Even though he had participated in several meetings of the Petrashevsky Group, to be honest, he
I am not particularly fond of those flashy seniors, but I still admire Herzen and Nekrasov more.
In terms of distance of relationship, he is closer to the latter, but Nekrasov and Petrashevsky are really not on the same page. Lao Nie feels that these guys are too capable. Apart from opposing the serfdom system, the two sides can talk
However, other ideas are very different. For example, Dostoevsky had a good relationship with him and Belinsky at the beginning, but later they almost broke off all relations with each other.
Because the personalities of the two sides are so different, Petrashevsky and his gang can't calm down to do down-to-earth things. They only want to attract attention and want to be unique. Anyway, he doesn't think the other party can have the ability.
What an achievement.
Of course, being dissatisfied with the style of Petrashevsky's gang does not mean that Nekrasov will watch them make stupid mistakes and be arrested and tortured by Nicholas I's henchmen. After all, everyone is Nicholas.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend. It’s always good to have more friends!
But Nekrasov could not go to Petrashevsky in person to warn him, because Petrashevsky would definitely not listen. Instead, he would be sarcastic or even arrogant, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and going to the tiger mountain.
Gang people just like to compete, argue, and confront you.
So Nekrasov could only let Chernyshevsky, who could talk to both sides, act as an intermediary to convey his warning.
"They have been very active recently!" Chernyshevsky recalled. "They gather frequently and carry out activities frequently. It seems that Nikolai Speshnev has organized a secret society to engage in secret activities!"
Nekrasov frowned because he had a bad feeling about Nikolai Speshnev. What kind of person is this man? To put it simply, he is both rich and hard-hearted.
Scumbag.
What this man likes to do most is to pick up girls and then pull up his pants ruthlessly, and his political views are among the most radical even among the Petrashevsky group. He often clamored to kill Nicholas I with one shot.
.
Don't think that this guy is just talking. This guy is serious. He carries a knife and a gun all the time. He even dreams of killing Nicholas I. He is just like a fool.
"Nikolai Speshnev..." Nekrasov muttered while holding his forehead, "Did he want to rush into the Winter Palace and assassinate him again?"
Chernyshevsky also smiled bitterly and said: "No, it seems that he is preparing to organize an army to seize the entire St. Petersburg, and then kill Moscow, and finally the entire Russia..."
Nekrasov became more and more speechless. This is all crazy talk. How could Nicholas I give you time to form an army? This tsar was extremely strict with the army. No one could mobilize it without his order.
One soldier, one pawn. What’s more, it doesn’t cost money to build an army? Doesn’t it require weapons and ammunition? Even if you have all these, the most important thing in an army is its people!
The problem is that the total number of revolutionaries and people who sympathize with the revolution in the whole of Russia is less than a thousand. Even one gun per person is not enough for the Semyonovsky Guards and the Preobrazhensky Guards.
Hanging.
Anyway, Nekrasov always believes that the current situation in Russia is not the right time to engage in armed revolution to seize power, because the power of the revolution is too weak. The majority of Russians do not understand what revolution is and do not agree with revolutionary ideas. They only rely on
It is impossible for a group of revolutionary elites to resist the counterattack of authoritarian and conservative forces.
Instead of wasting precious vitality, it is better to concentrate on promoting and publicizing revolutionary concepts and ideas, so that more Russians know what revolution is and support it. Nowadays, engaging in revolutionary education and propaganda is much more important than carrying out armed struggle.
Petrashevsky and his colleagues really want to reach the top in one step, but they themselves are a group of dabblers who know little about revolution and have no solid foundation at all. At best, this is called the fearless spirit of revolution, and at worst, it is called revolutionary fearlessness.
The young man is mentally exhausted.
But even if this is a group of idiots, they are also revolutionary idiots. Nekrasov could not just watch them die, so he warned: "Nikolai Gavrinovich, tell your friends, although Europe is now
The revolutionary situation in the country is very good, but that is Paris, that is Vienna and Berlin, not St. Petersburg! Our place is still shrouded in boundless darkness."
"Cruel Nicholas would never just watch and do nothing. In fact, I got news from inside sources that we will soon intervene in the revolution in Vienna and even have plans to march to Paris again."
"Before that, in order to stabilize his rule in the country, Nicholas will definitely do a general cleaning of the country. Anyone who threatens him will be ruthlessly eradicated! He will never be lenient!"
Chernyshevsky was surprised, because the scene in 1825 was still vivid in his mind! It is obvious how cruel Nicholas I was to his enemies. So many princes and princes were exiled when they said they were exiled. They really were.
The methods are ruthless. And these people are only minor nobles at most, and most of them are civilian intellectuals. Once the incident happens, His Majesty may not be as kind as before!
Chernyshevsky quickly asked: "Is the news accurate? Because Petrashevsky will have another rally tonight, and almost all the group members will go to participate!"
This made Nekrasov suddenly startled and quickly advised: "This is not possible! The insiders are still very reliable. The third department has already focused on them and is preparing to take action in the near future! Go and warn them immediately to be careful.
