First sentence: The leaders of the October revolution were born during the reign of Alexander II (1855-81), a time when, arguably, the tsarist regime experienced the first tremors of its own demise, when the 'tsarliberator' was blown up by a bomb thrown by members of the terrorist group 'People's Will'.
