SUMMARY:The Russian Anarchists and Dissidents in East London from 1890
 -1910
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Clive Bloom (Emeritus Professo
 r of English and American Studies of Middlesex University), best-selli
 ng author and publisher, as he leads us through the shadowy sub-cult
 ure of Russian anarchists and dissidents living in the East of Londo
 n from 1890 to 1910.\nOn a freezing day in January 1909, two Jewish, L
 atvian anarcho-communists - Paul Hefeld and Jacob Lapidus - attempted 
 a wages snatch in Tottenham. They failed, and in the pursuit that foll
 owed - which became the longest chase in British history - the two arm
 ed robbers killed a policeman and a child and wounded several others. 
 This was the Tottenham Outrage, the crime that shocked Edwardian Brita
 in.\nA year goes by. The Tottenham anarchists were connected to anothe
 r group of revolutionaries called 'The Flame', hiding in the East End.
 \nThey too attempted a robbery in Houndsditch in December 1910, but we
 re rumbled. The police begin a roundup, looking also for the enigmatic
  'Peter the Painter'. The roundup catches most of the gang who live in
  seedy rooms in the ghetto of the East End.\nThree of the gang vanishe
 d but two are traced to 100 Sidney Street. The most famous gunfight in
  British history then ensues with Winston Churchill present.\nThis isÂ
  the story of a lost world of immigrant politics, anarchists, Yiddish 
 theatres, two old kosher restaurants called Cohen's and The Warsaw, wh
 ere most of the meetings and plottings took place, of the long grasp 
 of Lenin and the Bolsheviks and of an underworld where guns and molls 
 were de rigeur and not one character in the drama (including Morris's 
 barrister) are quite what they seem, and no one uses their real name.\
 nDoors open 7pm.\nRefreshments available.\nKindly supported by the Fri
 ends of Bruce Castle\n\nFor more information visit https://bowesandbou
