"During the last thirty years there have been
one hundred and thirty-five political prosecutions
in Russia, involving the arrest and punishment
of 1356 persons. Of these a very large
number were sentenced to hard labor in the
mines or banished for life to Siberia. Fortyfive
of the accused were either shot or hung:
five in the reign of Nicholas, thirty-one under
Alexander II., and nine in the reign of the

present emperor. During the same period about
fifty political prisoners met their death by violence
in the gaols, or while serving a sentence of
banishment. Between 1878 and 1882 the police
shot eighV persons during demonstrations,
arrests, etc. Three others took their own lives
in order to avoid falling into the hands of the authorities.
The number of persons thrown^ into
prison or banished without preliminary trial,
under the so-called " administrative procedure,"
is very large, but cannot be stated with any degree
of certainty. During the past twenty
years about two hundred persons fled from prisons
or places of banishment ; most of them succeeded
in reaching western Europe." (Edmund Noble, "The Russian Revolt, Its Causes, Conditions, and Prospects" (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1885), 210-11)
