Shkolnik, M. - Жизнь бывшей террористки - 1927

!!!Old stamps of non-existent libraries.!!! Shkolnik, M. The Life of a Former Terrorist / edited by V. Degot. 1st ed. Moscow 1927 Limited edition 4200 copies Maria Shkolnik was a terrorist and Socialist Revolutionary. She attempted to assassinate Chernigov Governor A. Khvostov. "I spent a lot of time compiling lists of the governor's victims. I collected, like treasures, the names of those he killed or flogged to death..." Suddenly, Cossacks appeared on horseback, with a carriage among them. Comrade Shpaizman immediately stepped off the sidewalk. At that moment, the carriage drew level with him. He raised his hand and threw a bomb toward the carriage. The bomb fell in the snow and failed to explode. A police officer riding ahead of the governor leaped toward Comrade Shpaizman, and I heard a revolver shot. The carriage stopped for a moment; but apparently realizing the situation, the coachman began whipping the horses and urged them on at a gallop toward me. I stepped out into the middle of the pavement and threw the bomb through the carriage window. A terrible blow stunned me. I felt myself rising into the air."
