  Peter Kropotkin
Prince Peter Alexeievich Kropotkin (December 9, 1842 - February 8, 1921) was one of Russia's foremost anarchists and one of the first advocates of what he called "anarchist communism": the model of society he advocated for most of his life was that of a communist society free from central government.
Peter (or Pyotr) Kropotkin was born in Moscow.
In 1881, shortly after the assassination of the tsar Alexander II, Kropotkin was expelled from Switzerland by the Swiss government, and after a short stay at Thonon[?] (Savoy) went to London, where he remained for nearly a year, returning to Thonon towards the end of 1882.
