Народная воля
Sudeykin had managed to recruit one of the Narodnaya Volya leaders, Sergey Degayev, as his agent. According to Degayev, Sudeykin sounded almost like a revolutionary himself, referring to the tsarist regime as rotten and promising that eventually Sudeykin and Degayev would rule Russia, with Degayev helping to wipe out Sudeykin's enemies through the auspices of Narodnaya Volya, and Sudeykin removing all challengers to Degayev's leadership within Narodnaya Volya by employing the assistance of Okhrana. Degayev's information led to arrest of Narodnaya Volya's leader Vera Figner and many other important members of the organization.
