Vera Ivanovna Zasulich (Вера Ивановна Засулич; 8 August [O.S. 27 July] 1849 – 8 May 1919) was a Russian socialist activist, Menshevik writer and revolutionary.[1] She is widely known for her correspondence with Karl Marx, in which she put into question the necessity of a capitalist industrialisation prior to socialism, in the context of the fact that there already were living farmer communities in Russia that had developed practices and cultures that had a communist component.[2]
