⭐ Core Definition: Voronezh Congress

The Voronezh Congress of the Russian Narodnik Land and Liberty group was held in Voronezh in southwestern Russia in June 1879. It started on 18 June and went on for three to four days attended by about twenty people. It was a clandestine meeting taking place amidst the repression following Alexander Soloviev's attempt assassinate Tsar Alexander II in April 1879 – an event which had in fact led to a political crisis in the group. The conference failed to resolve the differences between the two major factions, which split only agreeing to dissolve their former organisation.

Voronezh Congress in the context of Black Repartition

Black Repartition (BR; Russian: Чёрный передел, romanizedChornyi peredel; also known as Black Partition) was a revolutionary organization in Russia in the early 1880s.

Black Repartition was established in August-September 1879 after the split of Zemlya i volya (Land and Liberty) at the Voronezh Congress the previous June. The name comes from the Russian countryside, where rumors circulated among peasants about the approaching repartition. "Chyornyi" in this context does not literally mean "black", but instead "general" or "universal".
