On March 1, 1881, the participants of the organization were blown up by Emperor Alexander II. The bomb, which he was thundered in St. Petersburg, was made by Ukrainian Mykola Kibalchich, a son of a priest from Chernihiv and a pupil of friend Ivan Kotlyarevsky.
The king-father was buried with huge honors in the family tomb of the Petropavlovsky Cathedral, and later on the site of his death built the Temple of Savior-on-Krov. And Kibalchich, along with four other accomplices of the attempt, was publicly hanged on the square and was blunted on the landfill, without putting the cross.
Among the executed was another Ukrainian, Sofia Perovskaya – the great -grandfather of Cyril Razumovsky, the criminal hetman of the Zaporizhzhya Army. She became the first woman in the Russian Empire to be sentenced to death for political motives. It was Perovskaya who managed this operation and threw a bomb on his own when one of the populists was scared and fled the last moment.
Kibalchich, who was only 27 years old at the time of the attempt, predicted a great future in science for his extraordinary abilities in chemistry and engineering. His bomb for the murder of the king was an innovation of the time, and his last project Kibalchich drew a button on the wall of the prison chamber a few days before death – it was a layout of a jet, on the principle of which modern rockets work.
