\n \n CHERNY PEREDEL (Black Repartition), a revolutionary populist organization that came into existence in the summer of 1879 after the split of Zemlya i Volya. Its founders were G.V. Plekhanov, V.I. Zasulich, L.G. Deutsch, P.B. Axelrod, V.N. Ignatov, O.V. Aptekman, Y.V. Stefanovich, M.R. Popov, et al. Whereas the program of the organization put a special emphasis on popularizing their ideas among peasants, its members mainly focused on propaganda among workers with up to 150 people grouped in workers' circles in St. Petersburg alone. An illegal printing office was organized in St. Petersburg to print Cherny Peredel magazine and Zerno workers' newspaper. Since the leaders of Cherny Peredel had to emigrate in the early 1880 under the threat of arrest, it was young members of the organization who were put at the head such as A.P. Bulanov, K.Y. Zagorsky, M.V. Trubnikova, M.K. Reshko, M.I. Sheftel, et al. and who opened the Workers' Fund Society in the autumn of 1881. Illegal meetings were held in secret at A.N. and A.P. Ulyanovs' (Srednaya Meschanskaya Street), K.K. Reshko's (3 Belozerskaya Street), and M.A. Klang's (Tavricheskaya Street). The arrests of 1880-82 weakened the organization, some of its members siding with Narodnaya Volya. While being abroad, the founders of Cherny Peredel organized Osvobozhdenie Truda , a Marxist group, in 1883.
