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 THE DYNAMIC PERIOD. 211 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.

During the past twenty years about two hundred persons fled from prisons or places of banishment ; most of them succeeded in reaching western Europe."
