Narodnaya Volya

Revolution of 1881.

Russia had another revolution in 1881, stirred up by the same people, in this case with the assassination of Tsar Alexander II by a Jew named Vera Figner, leader of the Jewish terrorist group called the People's Will.

This was their notification to the new Tsar Alexander III.

Quoting, Workers of Russia, today, March 1st, Alexander the Tyrant, Alexander II, has been killed by us, socialists.

Emancipation seemed impending and inevitable.

And at this, and at this very moment, the members of Narodnaya Volya Volya assassinated Alexander II, thus destroying in the bud many liberal developments in Russia, among them the hopes for full Jewish civil equality.

Sliosberg noted that the czar was killed on the eve of Purim.

After a series of attempts, the Jews were not surprised at this coincidence, but they became restless about the future.

It was all because of the new tsar and his government." Quoting, "The government wished for the pogroms.

It had to have a scapegoat.

And now, when reliable witnesses from the South later indeed confirmed that the socialists engineered them, they continued to believe that it was the fault of the government." However, toward the start of the 20th century, thorough authors admitted, in the press there is information about the prepa- about the participation of separate members of the party, Narodnaya Volya, people's will in the pogroms.

But the extent of this participation is still not clear.

He dreamed of establishing a Far Eastern Federation in Hokkaido and Sakhalin, governed by the Ainu and other Far Eastern indigenous people to preserve their linguistic and cultural heritage.

To achieve this goal, he joined the People's Will, a Russian anti-monarchist organization, and assassinated Tsar Alexander the Second by throwing a bag of bombs into his carriage.

Despite the creative liberties Noda took by reimagining Wilk as the assassin of the Tsar, other elements of this plot point reflect historical fact.

The People's Will was an actual revolutionary movement, most famous for carrying out a bomb attack against Tsar Alexander the Second in March eighteen eighty-one, prematurely ending his reign and reversing Russia's progressive path with the authoritarian turns of his successors, Tsar Alexander the Third and Tsar Nicholas the Second.

Golden Kamuy also touches upon the Meiji Restoration.

Hijikata Toshizo, one of the main ensemble characters, is an elderly samurai based on a real-life historical figure of the same name.

Vaillant was not, he was a very honorable person.

Most of the people in Western Europe, there's exceptions in the Russian case, but these were anarchists, it's a group called People's Will, were ordinary workers.

And Minari was an intellectual, he was an intellectual.

That's new, but that's not as important as what else was new.
