Assassination of Grand Duke Sergius at Kremlin
In Moscow on February 18 a lone worker’s assassin hurled a bomb under the grand duke’s carriage near the Kremlin walls. Sergius, uncle of Emperor Nicholas, was torn to fragments as the blast shattered the palace vicinity, killing him and injuring the coachman, while Elizabeth, the grand duchess, rushed to the scene.
