Black hundred
Black Hundred or Black Hundreds ( Russian Чёрная сотня / Tschornaja sotnja ) was the overarching term for right-wing extremist and monarchist - nationalist organizations in the last decades of the existence of the Russian Empire , including the Federation of the Russian People (also known as the Association of the Russian People ). The members of these organizations were referred to as Black Hundreds (Russian pl. Черносотенцы / Tschernosotenzy ). The organizations are assigned to the phenomenon of prefascism .
The vigilante organizations supported by the tsarist authorities were the main instigators of anti-Semitic pogroms and terror against revolutionaries , especially between 1904 and 1906 . They belonged to the modern nationalist movements in Europe.
