Going to the People (Russian: Хождение в народ, Khozhdeniye v narod) was a populist movement in the Russian Empire. It was largely inspired by the work of Russian theorists such as Mikhail Bakunin and Pyotr Lavrov, who advocated that groups of dedicated revolutionaries could inspire a mass movement to overthrow the ruling class, especially as it concerned the peasantry.[2] The anarchist Peter Kropotkin called the experience "the mad summer of 1874".[3]
