Nikolai Sabin

Nikolai Sabin, the son of a landowner, was born in 1854. While at Moscow University he became involved in revolutionary politics.

Sablin went to Zurich in 1874 but returned to Russia the following year. He was arrested in March, 1875, but was not tried until January, 1878. He was found guilty but was soon released because of the long time he had been awaiting trial.

A member of the People's Will, Sabin joined the plot to kill Alexander II. Others involved included Sophia Perovskaya, Andrei Zhelyabov, Gesia Gelfman, Ignatei Grinevitski, Nikolai Kibalchich, Nikolai Rysakov and Timofei Mikhailov.

Two days after Alexander II was assassinated, police raided the house where Gesia Gelfman was living with Gesia Gelfman. Sabin committed suicide before he could be arrested.
