Patterns of Evolution of Radical Social Movements: Case of Russian Anarchist Movement

Student: Borisov Alexey

Educational Programme: Political Science (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2016

The research field, where the study has been carried out, lays in a social movement investigation domain. Due to the extreme specificity of the issue it might be constricted to the Social Movement Organization subject (SMO), namely, the Radical Social Movement Organization (RSMO) sphere, since it opens new aspects of the individual social movements’ activity. The research problem explored focuses on yet the underdeveloped question of radical social movements’ evolution. The chosen approach centers round a particular case of the anarchistic social movement in Russia with two different camps evolving divergently. The project proposal concentrates exactly on its SMOs seen as the most convenient variables to examine.
