The fact that Vladimir Burtsev was a real guy and not a fictional character that I made up makes me incredibly happy.
Awesome facts about Comrade Burtsev:
1. He did not get less badass over the years, despite multiple bouts of exile and imprisonment.
2. He was so cool that the British refused to turn him to the Tsarist police.
3. He was mostly known for his detective work, rooting out infiltrators and agent provocateurs in the anarchist movement.
4. He was one of the guys who exposed the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a fraud.
5. He had awesome anime hair.
So, you know, even though I am not an anarchist anymore*, I think this guy really deserves to have a comic or play or something written about him. It is also a cosmic injustice that the link at the bottom of the page to "The Sherlock Holmes of the Revolution" (apparently yes, he was called that, and by multiple people) by Rita T. Kronenhitter seems to go to a defunct page.
(I was reading about him in The World that Never Was by Alex Butterworth, who seems to take great delight in Victorian political spy games. As do I.)
* I would probably still be an anarchist if there were more badass detective anarchists with anime hair and fewer smelly hippies with questionable politics. I'm just saying.
