| | Mikhail Bakunin |
 | | It was on this date, May 30, 1814, that revolutionist and anarchist Mikhail Bakunin was born in the principality of Tver (modern Kalinin), Russia. |
 | | He was born into a world of privilege, the son of an aristocratic family, but even as a young man developed radical ideas. |
 | | Mikhail Bakunin once said, "The liberty of man consists solely in this, that he obeys the laws of nature, because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been imposed upon him externally by any foreign will whatsoever, human or divine, collective or individual." |
