First sentence: FROM APRIL 1866, when former student Dmitrii Karakozov made the first unsuccessful attempt on the life of Tsar Alexander II, through July 1918, when Lenin and his closest associate, lakov Sverdlov, ordered the assassination of Tsar Nicholas II, and soon thereafter proclaimed a general policy of Bolshevik "red terror," a half-century of Russian history was bloodstained by revolutionary terrorism.
