[edit] Proposed merge
Union of the Russian People as it is now must be merged/redirected into this article. Mikkalai 08:50, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Removed phrase
Removed: ...on the basis of the so called great-power chauvinism (великодержавный шовинизм) Right out of Communist textbook. This phrase refers to Russian colonialism (russification), rather than to black hundreds. Mikkalai 08:54, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of the name
I think it would be good to include this in the article. The name Black Hundred ( Chornaya Sotnya , in Russian Черная Сотня ) shows the patriotic ideology and background of the movement. Back in 1380, the Prince of Muscovy Dmitriy asked the head of a sacred monastery, named Sergey Radonezhskiy ( who later became a major saint in the Russian Orthodox religion ) to bless him for the war against the Golden Horde invading Russia . The monk gave him his blessing , and has sent 100 of his monk-warriors to fight alongside the Prince' army. When the two armies faced each other on a decisive battle at the Kullekovo Pole, near the Don river, the battle started with a duel between the best Mongol horseman and Peresvet, one of the warriors Sergey Radonezhskiy has sent to defend the Russian land. It is believed that the hundred men showed deeds of courage and devotion, which inspired their compatriotes. That story is well known among the Russian folk, and the movement of Black Hundred chose to carry the name of those monk warriors - a symbol of their " devotion and patriotism ".

[edit] Russian history, Pogroms, and Antisemitism
Unfortunately, the above three phenomena are fundamentally linked. To the credit of the United States, it now acknowledges both Slavery and Racism as intrinsic parts of its history. It remains to be seen if the same is true for Russia and its nationals and nationalists.

Removed Anti-Semitism catergory, the Black Hundreds are a part of Russian History, not strictly about anti-semitism. This implies that anti-semitism was the only platform of the black hundred movement which it certainly was not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.43.227.18 (talk) 01:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- One should not whitewash this article. This was - whatever else - an antisemitic movement. And antisemitism is an essential part of Russian history. --Ludvikus (talk) 04:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
