Background

From organisers of events in Russia:

On May 30, 2014 we will be celebrating 200 years of Mikhail Bakunin (1814 – 1876), a famous activist of the Russian and international revolutionary movement, a social thinker and one of the founders of the international anarchist movement. The organizing committee of the international conference devoted to Bakunin’s  bicentennial invites historians, social scientists, other researchers, Bakunin enthusiasts and anybody who is interested in Bakunin and anarchism, past and present, to participate in our conference which will be on July 12-13, 2014 in Pryamukhino (Tver’ region, Russia). Contact us at bakunin.conference.2014@gmail.com

A call for international initiatives for the year of Bakunin came from the International of Anarchist Federations, and in particular from the French-speaking anarchist Federation who are also organising a number of events in France during the year: http://www.federation-anarchiste.org/spip.php?article1213
