Biography[edit | edit source]
As part of an attempt to overthrow the Tsarist autocracy, Nikolai and his fellow Narodnaya Volya members planned the murder of Tsar Alexander II. Sensing a possible assassination attempt in 1881, a cousin of Nikolai's reported his radical activities to the British Assassin Simeon Price, who had recruited several young apprentices in the Russian Empire some years prior. Nikolai's cousin hoped that Simeon would be able to dissuade Nikolai and the other Assassins from going through with the attempt.[1]
On 13 March 1881, in Saint Petersburg, Nikolai threw a bomb that disabled the Tsar's royal carriage,[2] which allowed fellow Assassin Ignacy Hryniewiecki to throw a second bomb that fatally wounded the Tsar and himself.[3]
Nikolai attempted to escape from the scene but someone threw an object at him, which caused Nikolai to trip and fall flat on his face, resulting in his capture.[1] Nikolai was later executed by hanging on 15 April at Semenovsky Square.[2]
