On March 1, 1881, Emperor Alexander II was assassinated on the embankment of the Catherine Canal in St. Petersburg. This was the tenth attempt on his life. And it proved fatal.

How did the emperor's security prove ineffective? What accidents played a key role in the tragedy? Why did the social reforms introduced by Alexander II provoke the hatred of some radicals? Why did the underground movement switch from agitation to terror? What were the consequences of the assassination for the country?

We invite you to explore the circumstances of Alexander II's death in the new episode of our historical detective series.
