Shortly afterwards he was arrested by the French government, and, after a trial at Lyons, sentenced by a police-court magistrate (under a special law passed on the fall of the Paris Commune) to five years' imprisonment, on the ground that he had belonged to the International Workingmen's Association (1883).
In 1881, shortly after the assassination of the Tsar Alexander II, Kropotkin was expelled from Switzerland by the Swiss government, and after a short stay at Thonon (Savoy) went to London, where he remained for nearly a year, returning to Thonon towards the end of 1882.

 Works of Peter Kropotkin
Editor's Preface: Peter Kropotkin (1842-1921) was one of the greatest anarchist theoreticians of his time.
Many people, upon reading his works, have been inspired to found such communities, both in his own time as well as the hippies of the 1960s (a period when Kropotkin's major works were epublished and influential).
His friend, Elisee Reclus, who had been involved in such a venture in South America in his youth, was even more hostile to small communal experiments.

 Anarchist Morality
Kropotkin was appealed to, with the result that he not only condemned such doctrine, but was moved to write the comrades this sermon.

Its conception of morality is based on the ideas set forth in Mutual Aid and later developed in his Ethics.

 Peter A. Kropotkin / Biography
Kropotkin, born into the Russian nobility, was known as the "Anarchist Prince." He eschewed authority of any kind and, like fellow anarchist Bakunin, advocated spontaneous and communal action to displace the authority of the State.
He argued that the principles of 'self-interest" and 'survival of the fittest" were Darwinian distortions of human nature, and that the principle of "mutual aid" was the fundamental drive of human nature and social evolution.
