We can start with the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.

It was plotted by a terrorist group in Russia known in English as the People's Will.

That was the name of the terrorist group.

And despite the fact, and these, again, are facts, that Jewish people represented only 4% of the population, they were overrepresented in this terrorist cell.

that was involved in the plotting and the eventual assassination of the Tsar.

In 1881, which is when his carriage was passing through St.

Petersburg, an assassin stepped forward and threw a bomb at his carriage.

And the Tsar was unhurt, but one of his soldiers were.

And he stepped out to check on him.

And at that moment, a second assassin stepped forward and threw a bomb directly at the Tsar's feet.

And he died.

Incredible, by the way, background of this.

The reason why I got into the story is I was just researching the history of radical feminism in our country, and it brought me to Russia and the Jewish women who were involved in the plotting and the planning of this assassination.

Don't take it from me.

This is not Russian propaganda.

You can just read American articles.

An American Jewish woman who offered this article, which I sourced in my book, her name is Deborah Hertz, who was interested in why so many Jewish women in particular were involved in terrorism.

The article is entitled Dangerous Politics, Dangerous Liaisons, Love and Terror Among Jewish Women Radicals in Tsarist Russia.

And I'm just reading a quotation here, but she writes, luckily, we do possess meticulous numbers on the people's will, a notorious radical organization from the 1870s and the 1880s.

These figures reveal that Jewish women were spectacularly overrepresented in this circle.
