Life
Ignati, son of the impoverished Polish nobleman Joachim Grinewizki ( Polish Joachim Hryniewiecki ), graduated from the secondary school in Białystok and studied mathematics at the Technical University of St. Petersburg from 1875 . In the student revolutionary movement of Narodnaja Wolja Ignati was known under the code name Mikhail Ivanovich and under the nickname Kater. From 1879 Ignati worked in an illegal printer of Narodnaya Volya as an author and typesetter, printed false passports, distributed pamphlets, and took part in propaganda campaigns among St. Petersburg students and factory workers. He raised money for political prisoners. Ignati lived at 59 Simbirsk Street in Petersburg.
On March 13, 1881, Alexander II survived the assassination attempt by the bomb thrower Nikolai Ryssakow . Shortly afterwards the Tsar was fatally injured by the second bomb thrown by Ignati Grinewizki. The assassin himself suffered such serious injuries from the detonation that he died on the evening of the same day in the hospital near the imperial horse stables. Before his death he is said to have answered the question about his personal status with: "I don't know". For a long time the assassin could not be properly identified. The authorities initially mistook him for Nikolai Sergejewitsch Tyuttschew. The latter was living in exile in Siberia at the time.
