Marie-Claude Burnet-Vigniel, Bardina: the itinerary of a populist.
Bardina was one of the most attractive figures of the "Muscovites' Trial" which was to reveal to the public opinion the famous "march toward the people" of the populists. With as starting point her biography composed by Stepnjak in 1883, after her suicide in Geneva, the endeavour to reconstruct her true image, insofar as the cross-examination of witnesses allows to recognize it behind the mask of a militant, we plunge into the drama of a generation so frequently haunted by voluntary death and the boundless despair born of failure. Doubtless, Bardina cannot be defined as a "historical figure" if the phrase is meant to describe a personality influencing events or ideological trends. Nevertheless her personal tragedy, so deeply moving in itself, reveals the true character of her time and of the set in which she lived, just as a bursting bubble demonstrates the ebullition of a mass.
