Four days after the troops of the Central Council suppressed the January uprising in Kiev, Muravyov’s troops entered the city, where a regime of Red Terror was established. During the storming of the city, a massive shelling was carried out, as a result of which the Grushevsky apartment building was destroyed. Before the assault itself, on February 4, Muravyov ordered his troops: “to mercilessly destroy all officers, cadets, Haidamakas, monarchists and enemies of the revolution in Kiev”.
