Editing Black Hundredism (section)

== Beliefs ==
===Ultranationalism===
The Black Hundreds were [[File:Ultranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalists]] who promoted a [[File:Ethnonat.png]] [[Ethnonationalism|Russocentric]] doctrine. According to the Black Hundreds, [[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukrainians and [[File:Cball-Belarus.png]] Belarusians were part of the Russian identity. This attracted support from individuals who rejected Ukrainian [[File:Nation.png]] [[nationalism]], particularly among those who identified as Russian [[File:Russophilia.png]] "Moscowphiles." The Black Hundreds sought to suppress Ukrainian cultural awareness and closed down the local branch of the Ukrainian Prosvita society in Odessa, an organization dedicated to promoting literacy in the Ukrainian language. 
===Monarchism===
The Black Hundreds strongly supported the rule of the [[File:Tsar.png]] [[Absolute Monarchism|Tsar]]. They criticized the White Russians for not sufficiently emphasizing monarchism as a fundamental ideological pillar in Russia, attributing this to the influence of Classical Liberals and Freemasons, whom they believed had weakened the movement through internal conflicts. The Black Hundreds perceived this as a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy aimed at undermining true Russia.

===Anti-Semitism===
The Black Hundreds vehemently opposed [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|democratic and social reforms,]] constitutionalism, and the autonomy of non-Russian groups, particularly [[File:JewTheo.png]] Jews. They viewed Jews as a threat to the social, economic, and political fabric of Imperial Russia. Anyone challenging or opposing the monarchy was considered to be under the influence of a global Jewish conspiracy. On a religious level, they portrayed Jews as the embodiment of the antichrist and enemies of God. They even coined the term "Judeo-Communism," reminiscent of the later phrase "Judeo-Bolshevism" used by the Third Reich.


The Black Hundreds claimed that equal rights movements, such as the [[File:Fem.png]] [[Feminism|suffragettes]], were inherently Jewish. They asserted that non-Jews would overthrow Russia's identity in the event of a revolution, while Jews would only benefit from it. They also accused Jews of creating usury and inflation in Russia to undermine the Tsar by fueling conflicts between the landlord and aristocrat classes and the peasants and workers. The Black Hundreds played a significant role in inciting anti-Jewish pogroms during the Tsarist era as a means to counter communism. Vladimir Lenin criticized the organization and denounced the Tsarist pogroms in his Collected Works.

===[[File:Fash.png]] Fascism and [[File:Nazi.png]] Nazism===
The Black Hundreds had their own version of "blackshirts" known as the "yellow shirts," named after their bright yellow shirts symbolizing loyalty to the monarchy. These yellow shirts were deployed to suppress communist uprisings, drawing parallels to the later blackshirts in Italy and brownshirts in Germany, who adopted similar aesthetics and engaged in comparable actions. Some members of the Black Hundreds migrated to Germany and played a role in the formation of the Nazi party.
