Abstract. The article investigates the role of J. I. Kablitz (pen-name Yuzov), an outstanding theoretician of the legal narodnik movement, in the revolutionary movement of the 1870s. The article analyzes the underlying causes of J. I. Kablitz’s becoming a narodnik, the major facts of his revolutionary biography, including his professional involvement with the literary world. Special attention is given to J. I. Kablitz’s elaboration of the idea of the assassination of the tsar and J. I. Kablitz’s attitude to the events on March 1, 1881 (the eighth and fatal attempt on Alexander II’s life). The article assesses J. I. Kablitz’s contribution to the development of the theory and practice of the revolutionary narodnik movement and the influence of M. A. Bakunin’s ideas on J. I. Kablitz’s right-wing extremism narodnik ideology. The article maintains that it is impossible to make a neat chronological division between J. I. Kablitz the revolutionary and J. I. Kablitz the narodnik, for the right-wing extremism narodnik ideology was very close to the revolutionary narodnik ideology.

Keywords: revolutionary movement, intelligentsia, people, narodnik movement, revolutionary narodnik movement, extremism narodnik movement.
