Peter Kropotkin I didn't know what to write about, so I choose this, make corrections please! -- Prince Pyotr Kropotkin was a geographer and naturalist, besides russian political thinker, is considered one of the leading theorists of the anarchist movement. Kropotkin was born in Moscow on December 21, 1842, in the bosom of a noble family. His father, Prince Alexei Petrovich Kropotkin, owned large tracts of land in three provinces, and had about 1200 slaves. He was devoted to studying the writings of major political theorists, and began to sympathize with the painful conditions of the peasants. The direct experiences of their scientific work as an explorer and his close contact with the misery and poverty of the Russian peasantry and Finnish were the cause that led Kropotkin to abandon scientific activity, and then he decided to write about politics.
