The failed Russian Revolution of 1905–1906 led to a wave of immigration from the Russian empire to North America, the first of three such waves in the 20th century.
Many of these immigrants embraced the ideas of anarchism and formed anarchist groups wherever there was a sizable community of Russian expatriates. Once revolution broke out in Russia in 1917, these groups grew by leaps and bounds, while many of their activists returned to Russia
