 It was said the plot contemplated the proclamation of ignatieff as pre- mier. turning of the guard regiments against the parliament, and the appli- cation of the iron rule which Igna- tieff, Trepoff and their associates con sidered necessary in Russia.
 In 1865 the younger Ignatieff be- came commander of regiment of Chevalier Guards. the most coveted position in the army. and in 1861 he was made chief of staff of the guard corps, Four years later he was made governor-general ct Irkutsk, and in 1886 governor-general of Kiev, which place he held until 1897. An elder brother of Count Alexis. Count Nicho- las. was a noted diplomat and former minister of the interior.
 He was chiefly distinguished for his devotion to the old autocratic ideals, and for his avarice. This latter qual- ity showed itself when he moved into small rented flat in order that be might rent to others half dozen splendid establishments which he owned in St. Petersburg.
