Le Révolté
Le Révolté (the revolting) was an anarchist newspaper with an anarcho-communist orientation. Le Révolté was the successor to the magazine L'Avant-Garde by Paul Brousse , which was banned by the Swiss government in 1878.
Le Révolté was founded in Geneva on February 22, 1879 and edited by Georges Herzig. Main authors and co-founders were Peter Kropotkin , who contributed most of the articles, and François Dumartheray. The editorial team received support from Elisée Reclus and Jean Grave . The first edition was 2,000 copies, many of which were smuggled into France. On April 12, 1885, the newspaper moved to Paris and was edited by Jean Grave. The frequency was initially twice a month, and from May 15, 1886 weekly. On September 3, 1887, convicted of organizing an illegal lottery, the newspaper changed the title and appeared from September 17, 1887 under the name La Révolte (the revolt).
In addition to the magazine, numerous brochures appeared from 1882, the total circulation of which is estimated at over a million copies in the twelve years of publication.
The last edition appeared on March 10, 1894. From 1895 onwards, Les Temps Nouveaux by Jean Grave appeared.
