Résumé
Russia, 1878. Vera Zasulich walked into the office of the governor of St. Petersburg and shot General Trepov point blank, as revenge for the governor's brutal treatment of a political prisoner. Her subsequent trial was followed by people all across… Europe and America, and she was written about by Dostoyevsky, Wilde, and Engels. Vera became the public face of a burgeoning revolutionary fervour, and the inspiration for a whole generation of Russian and European revolutionaries to embrace violence and martyrdom. Some descriptions of violence. 2008.
