Excerpts from the memoirs of Dr. P.F.Kudryavtsev

Abstract

About I.P. Cherushnikov.
Ivan Petrovich Cherushnikov worked simultaneously with me in Kazan as a member of the People's Will Party in the 80s. In Kazan, he was under supervision, having been transferred from another place of exile.
As a supervised person, he was always on the alert, waiting for searches at his place, and searches took place at his place in Kazan more than once. The surveillance of him was desperate, but he continued his illegal work all the time. All illegal literary novelties of non-local (not Kazan) origin were obtained through him. He also took an active part in local illegal publications, but the local investigation and the authorities had no evidence of this. Incidentally, with his participation, an illegal brochure (A. N. Bach) "Tsar-hunger" was published.
