Background
He was known in the 19th century London revolutionary circles as Sergius Stepniak. He was a Ukrainian revolutionary mainly known for assassinating General Nikolai Mezentsov, the chief of Russia's Gendarme corps and the head of the country's secret police, with a dagger in the streets of St Petersburg in 1878. Stepniak died in suspicious circumstances, falling under the wheels of a train at a railway crossing at Chiswick, where he lived at the time.
