On this day, 24 June 1856, Russian revolutionary Anna Yakimova was born in what is now Kirov. A member of the Socialist Revolutionaries, she took part in three failed plots to assassinate the tsar, and while pregnant was arrested and sentenced to death. Following international outcry her sentence was commuted to an indefinite hard labour in Siberia. She survived the harsh conditions and was freed during the October revolution.
