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.
