Description:
The Trial of the 193 was a series of criminal trials held in Russia in 1877-1878 under the rule of Tsar Alexander II. The trial consisted of 193 students and other “revolutionaries” charged with populist “unrest” and propaganda against the Russian Empire. The Trial of the 193 was the largest political trial in Tsarist Russia. The trial ended in mass acquittals, with only a small percentage being punished with sentences of hard labor or prison, and consequently led to an increase in violent militancy among formerly peaceful revolutionaries
