Born Moscow into an ancient aristocratic Russian family and highly educated but his sympathies were with the peasants who had looked after him as a child. His revolutionary activities brought exile to Switzerland and France and to London in 1881 and again 1886 - 1917. Here he mixed with William Morris, Ford Madox Ford and Keir Hardie and co-founded the Freedom Press. Lived in Harrow and Bromley.
