Nikolai Rogdaev

Nikolai Ignatievich Rogdaev (Shilkino, Klinsky Uyezd, Moscow, 1880[1] – Tashkent, 1934) was a leader of the Russian anarchist movement.

From July 1908, he was editor-in-chief of the socio-political newspaper Burevestnik, the central organ of the eponymous Geneva Anarchist Communist Group.

On this occasion, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alexander Krasilnikov, reported with satisfaction to the Police Department: "The Rogdaev case led to the fact that the existence of the co-organized Parisian federation of anarchist-communists can be considered complete."

During the conflict with the anarcho-mystics within the All-Russian Public Committee for the perpetuation of the memory of Peter Kropotkin, Rogdaev supported Alexei Borovoi.

In 1927, together with Borovoi and other well-known anarchists (among them Alexander Atabekian, Nikolai Lebedev, Vladimir Barmash, German Askarov and Lydia Gogelia), apparently with the approval of the Moscow Soviet, Rogdaev protested publicly against the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti.
