The Black Hundreds were a reactionary organization in Russia during the early 20th century that consisted of landlords, merchants, priests, and lumpenproletarians. With the support of the police, they murdered workers, intellectuals, and Jews during the 1905 revolution. The Fifth Congress of the RSDLP in 1907 adopted a policy of relentless struggle against the Black Hundreds.[1]
