- 24 January 1878 (O.S.; 5 February 1878 N.S.)
- Where
- Trepov's office
Zasulich shot and wounded Trepov in his office, motivated by his order to flog a political prisoner.
On 5 February [O.S. 24 January] 1878, Zasulich went to Trepov's office under the guise of a petitioner and shot and wounded him. The attack was retaliation for Trepov's order to flog the political prisoner Arkhip Bogolyubov. The passage records the date in both New Style and Old Style reckonings, and the office is the stated location of the encounter rather than a precisely surveyed site.
