Editing Ignacy Hryniewiecki (section)

==Assassination==
On 13 March 1881, the Tsar was visiting guard battalions at the ''Manège''. [[Sophia Perovskaya]] was waiting nearby in the anticipation of assassinating him via a mine in the road. However, Alexander suddenly decided to visit his cousin Grand Duchess Catherine and turned down a different road. Seeing this, Perovskaya signalled for bombers Hryniewiecki, [[Nikolai Rysakov]], [[Ivan Yemelyanov]] and [[Timofey Mikhailov]] to take position further up the street. 

At 2:15 P.M., Alexander's car reached Rysakov's position. Rysakov threw his bomb which disabled the car, wounded several bystanders and killed one. An unharmed Alexander got out of the car to watch as Rysakov was apprehended. As he did so, Hryniewiecki threw a second bomb at his feet. The blast wounded twenty including Alexander and Hryniewiecki himself. The other two bombers made their escape without throwing their bombs. 

Alexander died of his injuries back at the palace. An unconscious Hryniewiecki was rushed to the Winter Palace infirmary. After regaining consciousness, he was interviewed by police but only said "I don't know" in response to questioning. He died of his wounds at 10:30 P.M. having imparted no information to the police.
