1881. The execution of the killers of Alexander II
215 years ago, on April 15, 1881, the five Narolovites who participated in the attempt on Tsar Alexander II, Andrey Zhelyabov, Sofya Perovskaya, Timofey Mikhailov, Nikolai Kibalchich and Nikolai Rysakov, were hung on the parade ground of the Semenovsky regiment to the sentence of the special presence of the government Senate. The comrades refused to say goodbye to Rysakov on a scaffold, considering him a traitor, since his testimony made it possible to capture part of the regicide.
