Stanislas Maillard

Overview

Stanislas Maillard was an identifiable organizer associated with the improvised tribunals and killing teams of the September Massacres / 九月屠杀.

Current Profile

The episode uses Maillard cautiously: he gives the violence at least one named organizer, but the scarcity of identified perpetrators prevents him from becoming a substitute for the wider local networks involved. His role supports low-level coordination through Paris sections rather than proving a centralized order from national leaders.

Key Characteristics

• He is one of the few perpetrators or organizers named by the episode.
• He was associated with the organized and tribunal-like character of the prison killings.
• His role points toward coordination through sections and local revolutionary networks.
• His identification does not establish that he designed or controlled the massacres as a whole.

Evidence

Identifiable organization

• 544. The French Revolution: The September Massacres (Part 1) names Maillard while arguing that “death squads” better captures the organized teams than an undifferentiated mob.

Distributed responsibility

• 544. The French Revolution: The September Massacres (Part 1) places organization at a low level and distinguishes it from a proven command by Danton or Robespierre.

Qualifications

• The source does not provide a full biography, a complete operational record, or a settled count of actions attributable to Maillard.
• Naming one organizer must not obscure the broader participation, official knowledge, and political rhetoric that enabled the killings.

What Changed

• The wiki now has a named local organizer without collapsing distributed responsibility into a single mastermind claim.

Relationships

• September Massacres / 九月屠杀 - organized prison killings with which he is associated.
• Revolutionary Popular Justice - tribunal-like violence he helped embody.
• Georges Danton / 丹东 - national leader whose responsibility the source distinguishes from Maillard’s operational role.
