13 November stabbing by Léon Léauthier during the Ère des attentats (1892-1894). Influential event for the birth of modern terrorism.

The 13 November 1893 stabbing was an attack carried out in Paris by the anarchist militant Léon Léauthier against Rista Georgevitch, a Serbian diplomat targeted because 'he looked bourgeois'. The attack, which took place in the middle of the Ère des attentats (1892–1894), was carried out by the anarchist in response to his dismissal from his job as a shoemaker and the misery in which he found himself. It was one of the first acts of indiscriminate terrorism in history, occurring only six days after the Liceu bombing and a few months before the Café Terminus bombing, making it a foundational event for modern terrorism.

Léon-Jules Léauthier, was shoemaker, activist, and anarchist terrorist in France. An anarchist from a young age, he is best known for stabbing the Serbian diplomat Rista Georgevitch in the midst of the Ère des attentats (1892–1894), on 13 November 1893. This attack was not targeted; Léauthier chose him as a symbol of revenge against the entire bourgeoisie, which he identified in him. Taking place only six days after the Liceu bombing, Léauthier's action became one of the first acts of indiscriminate terrorism in history, making him one of the founders of modern terrorism.

The Ère des attentats, or the French anarchist campaign of attacks from 1892 to 1894, was a period in the history of France and the broader history of propaganda of the deed (1880–1914), marked by a significant wave of political violence—both from the French authorities and anarchist terrorists. Its chronological boundaries extend from the Saint-Germain bombing to the massacre of the anarchist convicts. During this period, the French press largely shaped political discourse and public opinion, presenting these acts as interconnected events forming a progressive logic rather than isolated incidents.
