Abstract. The article analyzes the underlying causes of student radicalization in the late 19th — early 20th centuries. It investigates various approaches to the assessment of young people’s involvement in revolutionary events of the early 20th century and explores young people’s involvement in pro-test activities. Student unrest and turmoil is viewed as a part of student life in the Russian empire and, judging by their memoirs, it produced a huge impact on the worldview of many outstanding statesmen, scholars and scientists. These memoirs throw light on the issue and enable us to assess various nuances of student unrest and to understand motivations underlying events of the early 20th century.

Keywords: studenthood, students, Moscow University, public thought, revolutionary bodies, meeting, demonstration, political differentiation.
