EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Vera Ivanovna Zasulich, a Russian Marxist revolutionary. In her courageous attempt to assassinate Fyodor Trepov, the Chief of the St Petersburg Police during 1860-1878, she managed to wound him but fell short of her intended outcome. The image portrays Zasulich standing tall and determined in front of a large group of people, symbolizing the chaos and tension that surrounded this event. The trial that followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Despite her act of violence against an influential figure, the jury surprisingly acquitted Zasulich. This verdict not only shocked society but also highlighted the growing support for revolutionary ideologies such as Marxism during this period. The illustration technique used in this engraved image adds depth and texture to the scene while emphasizing its historical significance. The horizontal composition allows us to observe every detail with clarity - from Zasulich's resolute expression to Trepov's wounded state. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the turbulent times faced by Russia under Tsarist rule in the 19th century. It showcases both men and women who played pivotal roles in shaping their nation's destiny through acts of resistance and revolution.
