 | | In July 1877, a political prisoner, Alexei Bogolyubov, refused to remove his cap in the presence of General Theodore Trepov, the governor of St. Petersburg famous for his suppression of the Polish rebellions in 1830 and 1863. |
 | | In retaliation, Trepov ordered that Bogolyubov be flogged, which outraged not only revolutionaries, but also sympathetic intelligentsia. |
 | | She waited until after the verdict was announced at the Trial of 193 and then, on January 24, 1878, shot and seriously wounded Trepov. |
