How one radical royal absconded from a russian prison, in 1876.
In 1876, after spending two years in a Russian prison, Peter Kropotkin made a daring escape to freedom, with the assistance of some friends and a horse named Barbarian. Kropotkin told the story of his flight from capture in his autobiography Memoirs of a Revolutionist. In 1987, World’s End Press published a small edition of this tale, beautifully illustrated by Julian Watson.
