Pyotr Alekseevich Kropotkin:
(Moscow, 9 December 1842 – Dmitrov, 8 February 1921)
Theorist of anarchism. He worked in Russia as a geographer and geologist and proved, among other things, that the maps of the time incorrectly depicted the course of mountain ranges in Siberia. He also conducted research on the Ice Age in Finland. During his exile abroad, Pyotr Kropotkin further developed anarcho-communism and managed to successfully popularize his ideas about it. In addition, in his book Mutual Aid, as a factor in evolution, he criticised the idea of some biologists that in nature between animals of the same species, predominantly mutual struggles take place.
Competition is the law of the jungle, but cooperation is the law of civilisation.
