Life
Vyacheslav Konstantinovich Plehwe made a career in the judiciary and police services of Russia in the 1880s . As a minister in 1903, he denounced Finance Minister Sergei Juljewitsch Witte to Tsar Nicholas II as a participant in an alleged Jewish conspiracy and thus achieved his removal.
A manifesto of the social revolutionary party headquarters accused him of "crimes against the people and fatherland, against civilization and humanity" and also of having "sent many brave champions of law and freedom to the scaffold or buried them alive in the tombs of our Bastilles ". In the "judgment" he was certified to "flood the pavement of our industrial centers with proletarian blood" and to have initiated the Russo-Japanese war in addition to the persecution of minorities (Poles, Armenians, the Kishinev Jewish pogrom ) .
Plehwe was killed in his carriage on the morning of July 28, 1904 on the way from the police department on the Fontanka to the Warsaw train station in St. Petersburg on Izmailovsky Prospect in the south of the city with a bomb including a coachman and horses. A bodyguard who had accompanied Plehwe on his bicycle survived seriously injured. One of the assassins, Yegor Sergeyevich Sosonov , was sentenced to life in prison. Another person involved, Ivan Kaljajew , carried out another assassination attempt on Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich Romanov a few months later .
The assassination attempt was prepared by Yevno Asef and Boris Savinkov . Plehwe's predecessor, Dmitri Sipjagin, was also killed in an assassination attempt on April 15, 1902.
