28 Jan 1905 Jahr - 1st Arrest

Beschreibung:

'As an engineering student in St Petersburg at the turn of the century, Zamyatin had thrown himself into revolutionary politics. He was first arrested in 1905, shortly after tsarist troops detained Leon Trotsky and other leaders of the Petersburg Soviet. Zamyatin had left socialist pamphlets under his bed and nitrocellulose, an explosive, on his windowsill (alongside his staples of sugar and salami). His Bolshevik comrades disposed of the evidence, saving him from execution, but he was sentenced to three months in solitary confinement for his activism.'
