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.
The Black Hundreds were noted for extremism and incitement to pogroms, nationalistic Russocentric doctrines, as well as various xenophobic beliefs, including anti-Ukrainian sentiment, anti-Polish sentiment, and anti-Semitism. The ideology of the movement is based on a slogan formulated by Count Sergey Uvarov: "Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality"
The Black Hundreds included reactionary, counterrevolutionary and anti-Semitic groups that, with the connivance of the authorities, carried out violence against liberals, socialists and Jews, attacked revolutionary groups and committed Jewish pogroms and organized political assassinations. Their most famous slogan was "Beat the Jews, save Russia!".
Russian movement did not represent a single whole and included various associations such as the "Russian Monarchist Party", "Black Hundreds", "Union of the Russian People" (Alexander Dubrovin), "Union of Michael the Archangel" and others. 1
After the 1917 revolution, all Black Hundred organizations in Russia were banned.
