Nihilist
Member of a group of Russian revolutionaries in the reign of Alexander II 1855–81. Despairing of reform, they saw change as possible only through the destruction of morality, justice, marriage, property, and the idea of God. In 1878 the Nihilists launched a guerrilla campaign leading to the murder of the tsar in 1881.
The name, popularized by the writer Ivan Turgenev, means ‘one who approves of nothing’ (Latin nihil) belonging to the existing order.
