Saving the Czars Life by a Russian Detective
General Trepoff of the St. Petersburg secret police foiled a Nihilist plot to assassinate Czar Alexander III on March 13, 1887. A vast net of arrests followed as the chief uncovered a printing press, bombs, and a planned parade ambush. The czar faced no public danger, and Trepoff’s swift action secured a calm royal appearance in the capital.
