Anacharsis Cloots
1755 - 1794
Anacharsis Kloots is one of the active participants in the French Revolution, by birth a German baron from the Duchy of Cleves, which belonged to Prussia. His real name was Jean Baptiste; he took the name Anacharsis at the beginning of the revolution under the influence of a passion for classical antiquity. The idea of equality and brotherhood of peoples found in him a passionate follower. In 1790, on behalf of the “Committee of Foreigners,” he thanked the Constituent Assembly for the fight against tyranny. In the summer of 1791, he predicted the imminent establishment of “universal sovereignty” and the formation of “one single nation, including all of humanity.” The capital of the future world republic was to be Paris. In 1792, he was close to the Girondins, as a “speaker of the human race,” he demanded from the Legislative Assembly a war with Germany and donated a significant part of his fortune to the armament of France. After being elected to the Convention, he joined the Jacobin camp. Kloots called himself a personal enemy of Christ and every religion, and argued in his literary works that only the people can be the sovereign of the world, that only fools can believe in a supreme being, whose cult was proposed by Robespierre. In the summer of 1794, after the decision was made to exclude foreigners from the Convention, he was arrested and brought to trial. The indictment charged Kloots with the intention to restore the monarchy and even “to open the doors of prisons and send released criminals against the Convention, to destroy the republic by inciting civil war, slander, inciting riots, corrupting morals, undermining public principles, strangling the revolution by starvation...”. When Kloots was taken to the building of the Revolutionary Tribunal, the crowd saw him off shouting: “Prussian to the guillotine!” He answered: “Let it go to the guillotine, but admit it, citizens, it’s strange that a man who would have been burned in Rome, hanged in London, wheeled around in Vienna, will be guillotined in Paris, where the republic has triumphed.”

(1755-06-24 )From 1793, Kloots advocated for violent “de-Christianization,” calling himself a personal enemy of Christ and any religion, and argued in his literary works that only the people can be masters of the world, that only fools can believe in a supreme being, whose cult Robespierre’s supporters tried to organize. Kloots supported the replacement of Catholicism with the cult of Reason, believing that the people were now ready to no longer believe “priestly tricks” and turn to “true morality.”
During the trial of Louis XVI, Kloots voted for the execution of the former king "in the name of humanity."
Arrest and death

When Kloots was taken to the building of the Revolutionary Tribunal, the crowd saw him off shouting: “Prussian to the guillotine!” He answered: “Let it go to the guillotine, but admit it, citizens, it’s strange that a man who would have been burned in Rome, hanged in London, wheeled around in Vienna, will be guillotined in Paris, where the republic has triumphed.” The indictment accused him of intending to restore the monarchy and even “ open the prison doors and send released criminals against the Convention, destroy the republic by inciting civil war, slander, inciting riots, corrupting morals, undermining public principles, strangling the revolution by starvation».
Anacharsis Kloots, “a personal enemy of Jehovah,” who also died very courageously, on his last night was most upset by the fact that some of the condemned “retained faith in the immortality of the soul,” and tried in every possible way to dissuade them: there will be no immortality, tomorrow from There will be absolutely nothing left of us.

Cloots, Anacharsis (real name - Jean Baptiste) (24.VI.1755 - 24.III.1794) - French politician, participant in the French bourgeois revolution of the late 18th century, educational philosopher and publicist. Dutch by birth, Prussian baron. Kloots promoted pantheism, a philosophical doctrine that identifies God with nature. Since the beginning of the French Revolution, he settled in Paris, becoming close to the encyclopedists. In 1792 he was elected to the Convention. An opponent of Catholicism, Kloots advocated forced de-Christianization in 1793. He demanded the continuation of the war with the anti-French coalition until the creation of a world union of republics. The implementation of such an adventurous cosmopolitan program by Kloots could be detrimental to the interests of revolutionary France. Kloots' program turned against him M. Robespierre and many others Jacobins, who sought to consolidate the gains of the revolution in France and ensure peace and recognition of the European powers. In December 1793, Kloots was expelled from the Jacobin Club and then removed from the Convention. Put on trial by the Revolutionary Tribunal, Kloots was executed along with a group of left-wing Jacobins - the so-called Hébertists.
