Feliks Vadimovich Volkhovsky was a Russian revolutionary, journalist and writer. He was arrested many times; in 1874 he was a defendant at the 1878 'Trial of the 193' and banished to Siberia. He escaped in 1889 via America. Volkhovsky was involved in 'Land and Liberty' and, when that group split in 1879, in 'The People's Will'.
