From My Recent Past is a memoir written by Russian revolutionary
Grigory Gershuni (1870-1908), the infamous mastermind behind the
Combat Organization (CO) of the Socialist Revolutionary Party (SR).
Grigory Gershuni envisioned himself a knight fighting the dragon of
injustice, a believer in a Russian revolution that would sweep away
an autocratic "regime that made killers of its own children!" In
his view, his personal mission was to cut off the head of that
dragon, i.e. eliminate the cruelest, corrupt, and lawless agents of
the repressive tsarist regime. Over the course of nine years (from
1902 to 1911), he engaged seventy-eight members of his Combat
Organization to commit 263 terrorist acts, including the
assassination of two government ministers, thirty-three
governors-general, a vice-governor, as well as several admirals and
generals. This book depicts his revolutionary activities, his
arrest, and proceedings before a military tribunal, a death
sentence verdict that was replaced at the last minute by a life
sentence, and years of imprisonment in the Peter and Paul and
Shlisselburg fortresses. It is presented here in English
translation by Katya Vladimirov, with an introduction by Katya
Vladimirov and an afterword by John P. Moran.
