Black Hundreds marchers in 1907.

The Black Hundreds (sometimes The Black Hundred), also known as the black-hundredists (Чёрная сотня, черносотенцы in Russian, or Chornaya sotnya, chernosotentsy) was an ultra-nationalist movement in Russia in the early 20th century. It was a staunch supporter of the House of Romanov and opposed any retreat from the autocracy of the reigning monarch. The Black Hundreds were also noted for extremist Russocentric doctrines, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and incitement to pogroms.

Upon succeeding his brother as the Tsar of Russia, Mikhail II helped quash dissent by sanctioning the Black Hundreds' persecution of Russian Jews.
