The years 1878-1887 form a definite period in the history of the revolutionary movement in Russia. It was a period when terrorism was the favorite weapon of the revolutionaries, though it also saw the first large-scale strikes in St. Petersburg and the emergence of the first Russian Marxist group.
In the vast literature on the revolutionary movement of that period, little use has been made of an important source, La Chronique du Mouvement Socialiste en Russie 1878-1887, of which a confidential limited edition of a hundred copies was published in French by the Ministry of the Interior in 1890 (St. Petersburg, 718 pp.).
Napoleon's successful campaigns against Austria in 1805 and 1809 led to the signing of the treaties of Pressburg and Schonbrunn which placed interalia the eastern shores of the Adriatic in French hands. The entire coastline from Trieste to Cattaro became part of the Illyrian Provinces designed to act as a barrier against British trade, to provide a land route between Turkey and the French empire, and to weaken Austria.
