Chris,

"The Black Hundreds" is mainly known as an organized counterrevolutionary group, though, no?

That's what that says, for example. They're the ones who appropriated the name?

"Incidentally, 'Black Hundreds' can be roughly translated as "Rednecks." It's a reference to the Black Earth agricultural (peasant) regions, and was originally a derogatory term for pogromshiki that they later appropriated."
