Pole killed Tsar Alexander II. The consequences were opposite to intended
Tsar Alexander II, one of Russia's greatest reformers, survived six assassination attempts but died on 13 March 1881 at the hands of Polish revolutionary Ignacy Hryniewiecki. The assassin acted in the belief that overthrowing the tsar would bring about system change. However, Hryniewiecki's act produced consequences opposite to those intended — after the tsar's death, Russia turned toward reaction and halted reforms.
