There was a lot of propaganda that hit the western press during that time, and many ate that swill up, until some within the British Government actually investigated it. That investigation led to the production of the "Blue Book," (1899), which humiliated certain newspapers; catching them up in their propaganda, as well as using anonymous sources. Even though they were outed, it didn't help, as we see what finally happened in 1917.

It was the same anarchist movement and ideology that started in France, which grew across Europe.
