Biography[edit | edit source]
Born into a landowning family within the Russian Empire, Dmitry was one of the young apprentices inducted by the British Assassin Simeon Price during the latter's time in Russia. In 1866, he made a failed attempt to assassinate Tsar Alexander II and was hanged for his crime, while his friends and accomplices were sent to either prison, hard labor, or exile in Siberia.[1]
As a last request after his capture, Dmitry wrote a letter to Simeon, requesting his aid to make sure that his family members were cared for and not hounded by the Russian secret police.[1]
