Résumé anglais Michael Confino, Russian anarchists, internationalism and the Manifesto of the Sixteen. (Unpublished correspondence of Peter Kropotkin and Marie Goldsmith, January- M arch, 1916). This unpublished correspondence (which comprises five letters of P. Kropotkin and one of M. Goldsmith) allows us to observe the ideological debate among the anarchists of "defensist" trend at the time of the elaboration and publication of the famous Manifesto of the Sixteen, which constituted the theoretical and political platform of this tendency. The main points at issue were the meaning of the notion of internationalism within the context of the World War; the nature of this war and whether it was necessary to strive for an immediate peace within the conditions existing at the beginning of 1916. The exchange of the thereto unpublished letters between P. Kropotkin (who wrote and signed the Manifesto) and M. Goldsmith (who did not sign it) contributes to define the position of these two prominent Russian anarchists and reveals the tensions and ruptures that occurred between Russian anarchist emigre groups since the beginning of the war.
