Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

Just got my the results of my blood work back for my yearly physical and I still have low white blood cell count and low neutrophils. It's been like this for years now. Doctor doesn't seem concerned and I feel fine, but it still is kinda unsettling idk
Feeling stressed?
Not really, no. Maybe lack of sleep? I've only been averaging about 6 hours a night,
Neutropenia (low white blood cells or neutrophils) can happen from a lot of stuff, sometimes they have no idea what caused it and they label it idiopathic. It can happen from pretty hardcore psychological stress or chronic inflammation, not sleeping enough (if 6 hours isn't enough) probably doesn't help. Incidentally, if you check your finger nails and you have Beaus lines (little horizontal ridges) that can come from a previous respiratory infection or also intense stress. It can also come from not getting enough of one of the B vitamins - I can't remember which, god only knows why there's 12 B vitamins when there's 26 letters of the alphabet. If you're vegan, you might need to supplement a little.
Just be a little more diligent about washing your hands, avoid touching your eyes and mask up in public and you probably won't even notice a different. Low white blood cells means you're more at risk for infection cause they aren't around as much to protect you. If it's consistently low, get a second opinion if you can afford it. There are certain conditions that can lead to neutropenia but if you're healthy besides this one lab value, don't worry too much.
Thank you for the piece of mind! Yeah, it has been consistently low over the last 2-3 blood tests I've gotten every 6 months to a year or so. My doctor didn't seem concerned, and thinking back, I feel like this all started after a pretty intense sickness (flu/covid?) I had a few years ago. Just gonna try some supplements and see if I can get it slightly close to baseline, or maybe this is my normal now? Either way, thank you!
