How were politicians killed? XNUMXth century

USA


On April 14, 1865, the actor assassinated his president, launching a century of assassinations and assassination attempts in the United States. The official version is that the actor Booth and eight of his associates agreed to kill the leadership of the USA and partially fulfilled their plan. Bout himself hid on the farm after the assassination attempt and was killed during the arrest. The motive is revenge for the defeat of the South. Four conspirators were hanged, including one woman.

There are versions and conspiracy theories: about an intra-elite conspiracy of the northerners themselves, led by Edwin Stenton. There are also absurdities, but, as for me, we attribute a lot based on the understanding of the 2st century. So, the protection of senior officials was then near zero, the president in the theater was supposed to have one guard. And he turned out to be a drunkard and a slob. As a result, the first assassinated US president and a shock in society. Quite expected in such circumstances. However, the first did not become the last, and less than twenty years later, on July 1881, 9, at 30:XNUMX in the morning, President James Garfield was assassinated at the Washington-Pennsylvania station.



The killer is lawyer Charles Guiteau, a supporter of Garfield and his agitator in the elections. He killed when he did not get the post of ambassador he hoped for. There are inconsistencies in this murder: how easily the killer approached the victim, and the fact that the slightly wounded president died 17 days later from blood poisoning, and the fact that no one really investigated, the killer was quickly hanged. Meanwhile, Garfield, like Lincoln, strengthened the power of the president and tried to smooth out the contradictions between North and South, between whites and blacks.

Russia


In Russia in the XNUMXth century, two emperors were killed, and another was tried. Considering that there are only six emperors in this century, the figure is impressive.

And with the first assassination of Paul I, everything is more or less clear: a group of conspirators, which included his son, the future Emperor Alexander I, strangled their emperor with a silk guards scarf, having previously stunned him with a blow from a snuffbox. Disputes, in fact, are only about: is it they themselves or with English money? And, I think, they themselves are much more likely. Pavel Petrovich set about restoring order too abruptly, and he pressed too hard on the nobles, who were accustomed to complete freedom and impunity during Catherine's golden age.

But Alexander II - the conversation is different: the emperor, who gave Russia freedom, carried out deep reforms, created the beginnings of a civil society in Russia, was killed by this very society. Moreover, he was killed on the sixth attempt, which turned his reign into a period of terror. An attempt was made on the emperor:

- nobleman Karakozov, who justified himself with this:

“It was sad, hard for me that ... my beloved people were dying, and so I decided to destroy the villainous king and die for my kind people myself. If I succeed in my plan, I will die with the thought that by my death I have benefited my dear friend, the Russian peasant. And if it doesn’t work out, I still believe that there will be people who will follow my path. I failed, they will succeed. For them, my death will be an example and inspire them ... "
.
- Polish rebel Anton Berezovsky, everything is clear here.

- The son of an official Solovyov, who works as a teacher and is a member of the "Earth and Freedom".

- The terrorist Zhelyabov (the explosion of the train by the People's Will), for example, thanks to the reforms of the same emperor, went from peasant to student, but preferred terror to a career.

- Terrorist Khalturin (explosion in Zimny), a native of wealthy peasants, who killed 11 ordinary soldiers, for whom he stood up.

- And finally, the murder by all the same Narodnaya Volya and all of the same raznochintsy on March 1, 1881.

The reforms were interrupted, and Alexander III began the reaction. Russia missed its chance for development, but received the beginnings of a revolution.

Europe


One should not think that shots and explosions rang out in Russia and the USA, and everything was quiet in old Europe. Killed in Europe.

Here is France, President Carno Sadi is assassinated in 1894 by an Italian anarchist. The best thing about motives is said:

a gloomy-minded young man, driven to madness by all sorts of "agitation", for purely political reasons, committed a serious crime.

Anarchism tormented Europe no less than the people of Russia, explosions and shots thundered in France regularly.

Or Italy - another anarchist kills King Umberto the First, officially - as revenge for the shooting of a peaceful demonstration. At the trial, the killer spoke pretentious nonsense, and then suddenly hanged himself in prison. Security, as always, did not work.

In Austria-Hungary, death came to the empress: Elisabeth of Bavaria was killed in Geneva by another Italian anarchist, Luigi Lukeni, who also traditionally hanged himself in prison. As a pretext for murder, he declared that he hated rich parasites... At the same time, Elizabeth herself was an enlightened and liberal woman who actively helped those in need.

In Spain, only the prime minister of the kingdom was killed. The killer is again the Italian anarchist Michele Angiolilo, who, as it were, took revenge for the arrests of his comrades-in-arms. This one was officially hanged for a change.

The list is impressive and, perhaps, inevitable in those conditions: a sharp break in the structure of society since the middle of the century gave rise to a layer of educated people, but poor and desperate, and they fought. Against the whole world. When they themselves, when they were used for these purposes, which can only be guessed now, for example, Elizabeth of Bavaria persuaded her husband to abdicate the throne, which leads to different thoughts. An explosive mixture was hidden behind the outer facade of Europe. And it's not about the ideas of Ravachol - in many ways he became the initiator of terror with his propaganda action:

A more complete type of born criminals we have in the person of Ravachol and Pini. Their criminality is expressed not only in their faces, but in their habit of crime, in their love of evil, in their complete absence of moral feeling, in their flaunting hatred of the family, in their indifference to human life. In the face of Ravachol, what strikes us first of all is brutality, ferocity.

But the matter is in the general state of society, when, in addition to politicians, they blew up the barracks, threw bombs on the boulevards and tried to blow up trains ...

And ahead was a terrible XNUMXth century, when they did not kill less. But more on that next time. And is it any wonder that this wave of hatred and controversy led to a world war? Society by the end of the century, drunk on blood, was ready for it.

      He accurately said - "gallop through Europe", with a drift to America. The meaning of writing this note is completely incomprehensible, all this is without details, and so everyone has known since school days.
      And why did they stick Raskolnikov with an ax, that he slammed the granny and immediately became a terrorist politician? laughing
      It would be better if they posted illustrations with real attempts on real people.

          Good morning!
          With the light hand of Dostoevsky, the latter was able to describe the human soul turned inside out!!!
          I think that everyone knows Raskolnikov, but no one remembers the name of the "old woman"!
          However, the author himself found it difficult to list the culprits in the death of Emperor Alexander II.

            I didn’t want to say anything today, I’m very busy, but the question has been raised seriously. I ask you to pay special attention to who the killers were. These are not modern mercenaries in the form of professional snipers. These are those who can be described in one word - raznochintsy. The future of these people was only to become petty clerks living on a beggarly wage. This is the lowest, sufficiently educated stratum of the stratum, referred to by the general word "bureaucracy". So, this very bureaucracy, that is, managers, never had political power, having their highest echelons influence on those who made political decisions and were the fodder base of the bureaucracy. These same “those” are the owners of the means of production, who, without bureaucratic managers, could not exercise political, economic, or military power. The nineteenth century is the age of technological breakthroughs, the age of primitive accumulation of capital, and the age of the strengthening of the power of banking capital. This whole process could not have developed without the active participation of the nomenklatura officials in it, which, at the suggestion of the political authorities, carried it out. But officials-managers, in whatever sphere they work - economic, political, military - in the emerging system of relations, the role of a politically significant force, by definition, did not shine. Even though the highest echelons of bureaucracy could themselves be owners of the means of production. The lower echelons of the nomenklatura, not the “populists,” were the new force laying claim to political power. The power that was overlooked. This was the force that in 1917, for the first time in human history, won power through the hands of the people.

                Well, just imagine, you are an oppositionist, you want to seize power, but the current government has an army, which, under oath, according to which it, the army, is obliged to defend the state, with which power is usually identified. But you don’t have such an army, you have nothing to oppose to army strength. What to do?
                Create your army!
                Albeit unarmed, but terrible in its dispersal everywhere, massive, much larger than the army of power, and ready to go to the end. To do this, it is necessary to throw progressive ideas into the heads of the people, which you, perhaps, are not going to translate into reality at all, but ideas that are wildly attractive to all segments of the population that has already passed through the Age of Enlightenment and the Renaissance. Well, and throw in - "Freedom, equality, fraternity!"
                And with a grin, as if to yourself, you add "For those who can pay for it." Here is this supplement on one of the last forums someone announced. And it has all the salt in it.

                    So I'm talking about the same, Kostya!)))
                    Here are our home-grown raznochintsy once performed - zilch! There was no support, but the noise was made, and His Majesty, hearing the noise and seeing there the descendants of the nobles who could not inherit the nobility from their fathers, said: “Ah! ... Let them inherit!”, - and somehow everything went down the toilet. And then the underfed Narodnaya Volya began to bomb the tsar, as if also demanding their own, not understanding how it, their own, looks like. So what? The tsar is a corpse from the sixth time, the St. Petersburg beau monde applauds the bandits in court, everyone understood that somehow something was wrong and something had to be done, but there were no ideas, or rather there were, but too many, boiling passions. And then ... Lenin appeared, shaking the Marxist volume: "Land - to the peasants, factories - to the workers!"
                    I would laugh. But he doesn't laugh at me. The nomenklatura took power, hungry and angry.

                        Drinking the wine to the end.

                        The green lamp lights up a little,
                        And the changer has been here for an hour.

                        And he, shaking, walks out the door,

    It seems to me that the murders of politicians in the 19th and 20th centuries still became less. Remember the story of how they cut, hung, drowned, chopped off their heads, poisoned the authorities for all ages. They just didn't write about it in the press. In the last two or four centuries, for example, exile to an island, political asylum in another country, etc. have begun to be used.

    Quote from Uncle Lee
    And this is already the twentieth century ... It will be cooler with murders here!

    Yes, and in the eighteenth century a certain politician Marat in the bathroom Charlotte Corday with a dagger
    poked. What is the famous picture about. And a lot of politicians
    sent the guillotine. The nineteenth century is resting, one of the most peaceful centuries.
    Many precedents in the Middle Ages. Enguerrand de Marigny, hanging on his
    Moncofonet, Admiral de Coligny, Duke of Guise in France. Thomas Cromwell
    on the scaffold in the Tower.
    And about Ancient Rome in the era of Sulla, Catiline, and the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar
    and some of the ancient Greek is a sin not to remember.

    And with the first assassination of Paul I, everything is more or less clear: a group of conspirators, which included his son, the future Emperor Alexander I, strangled their emperor with a silk guards scarf, having previously stunned him with a blow from a snuffbox. Disputes, in fact, are only about: is it they themselves or with English money?

    The coolest century in terms of killing politicians is probably the XNUMXth.
    In the Middle Ages, in this regard, everything was relatively dull - they died, mainly on the battlefields, and this is something else, but more from diseases. In the Late Middle Ages - XIV - XV centuries. they had already begun to objectively starve rivals in prisons, well, in the XNUMXth century, with the Renaissance and the ideology of humanism, it went off and on: poison and a dagger worked tirelessly. smile
    Although personally I like it better when politicians cut each other than when they send huge masses of people to the slaughter.
    That's why I love the High Middle Ages - for clarity. There is a feudal lord. He has a squad. Two feudal lords quarreled, intrigued, burned each other in a couple of villages, staged a showdown in which both personally participated, risking running into everyone together (and ran into each other, and not so rarely smile ), then they reconciled and both attacked the third, who attracted the fourth to help, etc. The beauty! In battle, you can be ten meters from the enemy, you can see the whites of his eyes, shout a swear word, but there is no way to get through to him, and then - once! - and you need to either run or catch up ... And the next meeting is already, maybe, in five years ...
    As a result, as a result of a bloody battle, twenty people die, the same number will die later from wounds, plus, well, let’s say a dozen burned villages, whose inhabitants were forcibly taken to the neighboring volost safe and sound and forcibly resettled in the lands empty from the last enemy raid, and even and tax exempt for five years.
    There were, of course, enthusiasts who were prone to excesses even at that time, but ... Still, with the departure of medieval morality, humanity lost something, something important ... Perhaps this is important - the personal responsibility of politicians for their policies . smile

        The death of most people can be beneficial to someone. And the higher the position a person occupies, the more such "beneficiaries" can be, while the very fact of their presence cannot in any way testify in favor of murder.

            With the same success, one can discuss the death of Gernicus V of England or Philip the Handsome with his offspring.
            In our history, too, there is a reason to dream up - the death of Alexander Nevsky and through speculation on this topic.

              Here the sources in relation to this kind of events can be divided into three groups of groups: the first says exactly who poisoned whom, the second says that someone accused someone of poisoning someone, the third only hints.
              If with Rostislav and Yaroslav the chronicler is categorical as a prosecutor, with Gleb, according to a source, Andrey Bogolyubsky acts as a prosecutor, naming specific names, then no one directly says anything to Dolgoruky - so, he was visiting, he deigned to eat, fell ill and died.
              A criminal case, of course, cannot be initiated on any of the grounds, but, in any case, with the first two cases, the chronicler will have to be refuted, and this already needs counter-arguments.
