He answered firmness with firmness , blood with blood , declaring that : " I tremble with eagerness to water our land with your criminal blood , " and warned that order would be imposed " with bayonets and grapeshot until your blood flows in rivers " . Though many resented his rule he was largely successful , upgrading the Georgian Military Road , conquering Ganja and subduing Shirvan . In 1806 , and with characteristic bravado , he rode up to the walls of Baku demanding the submission of the city . Troops loyal to the Khan of Baku inside the city walls shot him dead together with his aide - de - camp , then cut off his head and both his hands . The third member of the small mission escaped to relate the gruesome tale . His head was sent to Fat ′ h - Ali Shah Qajar in Tehran . Mirza Mohammad Akhbari . In 1806 , Mirza Mohammad Akhbari , a teacher of Akhbari school of Fiqh ( Islamic Law ) in Tehran , promised Fat ′ h - Ali Shah Qajar to secure , by supernatural means , the death of Tsitsianov , commander of the Russian forces at that time besieging Bākū . Retreating for a period of forty days to the shrine at Shah - Abdol - Azim , he began to engage in certain magical practices , such as beheading wax figures representing the Tsitsianov . It so happened that during his retreat , Tsitsianov was assassinated during negotiations at Bākū , and the severed head ( or , according to some accounts , hand ) of the Russian commander arrived in Tehran just before the forty days were up . Because Fat ′ h - Ali Shah feared that the supernatural powers of Mirza might be turned against him , he exiled him to Arab Iraq . In popular culture . In Iranian literature , the name of Tsitsianov is most mentioned as " ESHPOKHTOR " ( from the French word " inspector " ) . There is a proverb in Persian language " " Bringing the severed head of the EŠPOKHTOR " " that means to do an impossible task and refers to Mirza Mohammad Akhbari ' s promise to the Fat ′ h - Ali Shah .
