The Narodniks[a] were members of a movement of the Russian Empire intelligentsia in the 1860s and 1870s, some of whom became involved in revolutionary agitation against tsarism. Their ideology, known as Narodism, Narodnism or Narodnichestvo,[b] was a form of agrarian socialism, though it is often misunderstood as populism.[1][2]
The Going to the People[c] campaigns were the central impetus of the Narodnik movement.[3] The Narodniks were in many ways the intellectual and political forebears and, in notable cases, direct participants of the Russian Revolution—in particular of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party, which went on to greatly influence Russian history in the early 20th century.
