early 20th century Russian monarchist movement
Supporters of the Black Hundreds marching in Odessa shortly after the October Manifesto, 1905
The Black Hundreds were reactionary, monarchist, and ultra-nationalist groups in Russia in the early 20th century. They were staunch supporters of the House of Romanov, and opposed any retreat from the autocracy of the reigning monarch. Their name arose from the medieval concept of "black", or common (non-noble) people, organized into militias.
